The late TV presenter Caroline Flack’s mother is to “explore” her daughter’s story in a new Disney+ documentary.
Given the working title Caroline, the film will follow Flack’s mother Christine Flack, as she tries understand events in the final months of her daughter’s life, while also celebrating her career.
The documentary will be produced by Curious Films, which made 2021’s Caroline Flack: Her Life And Death, and will be released later this year on the Disney streaming service.
Speaking ahead of the documentary, Christine Flack said: “I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it’s something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging.
“I’m pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie’s story – not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her.”
It will also feature interviews with other members of Flack’s family and some of her friends.
Dov Freedman, the film’s executive producer at Curious Films, said: “It’s not often that you feel the need to return to a subject, but nearly five years after Caroline’s tragic death, we know there are still many unanswered questions for Christine and her family that need to be addressed.
“We’re proud to be collaborating with the Flack family once again, working together to seek some form of resolution to the tragic events surrounding Caroline’s death.”
Flack, who was born in London and grew up in Norfolk, took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40, after learning that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge, following an incident with her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, in December 2019.
She was best known for presenting ITV reality show Love Island from 2015 to 2019, and also worked as a presenter on The X Factor, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! NOW! and TMi.
In 2014, she won series 12 of Strictly Come Dancing, partnered by professional dancer Pasha Kovalev, achieving a perfect score in the final.
