Christine Flack, the mother of late TV presenter Caroline Flack, has spoken of her 'biggest regret' in a forthcoming Disney+ documentary. In a poignant clip from the two-part series, 'Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth', she visits her daughter's grave and reflects on her mission to hold accountable those who contributed to Caroline's deteriorating mental health.
Addressing the camera, Christine says: 'I think Caroline would be pleased with what I'm doing. I wish I'd done it then, before she took her own life - and that's my biggest regret, that I wasn't shouting like this, then.' She adds: 'But now, I've got nothing to lose. The worst thing in the world happened with losing Carrie.'
Caroline Flack, known for hosting Love Island, the X Factor and winning Strictly Come Dancing, died by suicide in 2020 at age 40 while awaiting trial for alleged assault of her boyfriend. A coroner found her mental health had deteriorated after her arrest, with an inquest hearing she had been 'hounded' by sections of the media.
The documentary summary states: 'After her arrest in 2019, she became the target of a relentless media storm. Vilified in the press and online, her world spiralled – ending in tragedy when she took her own life. This powerful two-part Disney+ documentary follows Caroline's mother, Christine, as she investigates the truth about her daughter's final months – uncovering new shocking details, asking difficult questions, and exposing the misrepresentations, pressures, and failures from institutions and decision makers that shaped Caroline's final days.'
'Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth' will be available to stream on Disney+ from November 10.
