Caroline Flack to be honoured at Flackstock festival with Louise Redknapp performing

Caroline Flack's family have announced a festival in her memory, Flackstock, with the first acts revealed.

Flackstock will arrive this summer in memory of the late television presenter and to help raise funds for mental health charities. The event is scheduled to go ahead on July 25 and will feature a long list of comedy, music and television stars.

Held on the grounds of Englefield House in Berkshire, Natalie Imbruglia, Louise Redknapp and Fleur East are among the first of the musical acts to be announced. Comedians Joel Dommett, Keith Lemon and Noel Fielding are also set to feature, as are Paddy McGuinness, Dermot O'Leary and Professor Green, with organisers saying that many more acts will be announced in the near future.

The committee behind the event are Caroline's family and friends. They include Caroline’s mother Christine and sister Jody and her friends Natalie Pinkham, Dawn O’Porter, Anna Blue, Sarah Tyekiff, Leigh and Jill Francis.

In a post shared to Facebook, Caroline's mother said Flackstock was a fantastic way to remember her daughter and to raise money for charity. She said: "My Caroline was never more herself or happier than at a music festival with her sister and her friends.

"Flackstock is the wonderful idea of those who knew her best and the perfect way to remember her singing, dancing and most of all laughing. Not only is Flackstock the most positive way to honour Carrie, but charities that she loved will benefit from the proceeds. My family are so proud that so many people who knew Carrie loved her so very much."

The raised funds are to be split equally between the charities Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and Charlie Waller Trust. Fans interested in attending the festival can get their tickets here.
