Professor Green and Caroline Flack's relationship as ex-Love Island host honoured at Flackstock

Family, friends and fans are set to come together in honour of Caroline Flack at the Flackstock festival today (July 25).

The festival is set to take place at the grounds of Englefield House in Berkshire, having been organised by friends and family of the former Love Island presenter.

Many talented friends of Caroline have decided to take part after the confirmed line-up was announced.

The celebrities performing and paying homage include her former X Factor co-host Olly Murs, Natalie Imbruglia, Dermot O'Leary and Rylan Clark.

Professor Green, who had a close relationship with the late television star, is set to take the stage at Flackstock too.

Having once been spotted together at members club Soho House in 2016, rumours circulated that they had entered into a relationship.

However, the romance was never confirmed.

The pair once entertained a red carpet crowd with their hilarious antics at a GQ event in 2018.

As Caroline was capturing the attention of photographers, the English rapper stood behind the posing presenter in an epic photobomb.

After pulling several silly faces, Caroline realised what was going on and the two burst into laughter.

Along with sharing an infectious sense of humour, the pair both battled with their mental health.

The rapper, real name Stephen Paul Manderson, has been open about dealing with depression and anxiety.

In 2021, during an interview with the Evening Standard, Stephen described his mission to improve mental health after becoming a father.

In a conversation with cricketer Andrew Flintoff for Heads Together, Stephen said: "I think I was born with anxiety."

He added that he even had to take days off school, as it's something he has dealt with his whole life.

Who is performing at Flackstock?

The festival, taking place in Berkshire, has seen many of Caroline Flack's admirers agree to pay tribute to their late friend.

Live performances will be varied in style with comedy, music and dance all on show.

Comedians Noel Fielding, Joel Dommett and Paddy McGuinness are all set to tickle tummies at the festival, alongside singers Pixie Lott, Fleur East, Olly Murs and of course, Professor Green.

With Caroline having appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014, professional dancers Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec are due to take the stage as well.

Who organised Flackstock?

The festival was organised by her sister Jody and mother Christine, who said Flackstock is the "perfect way to remember her singing, dancing and most of all laughing".

All proceeds of the event are being donated to mental health charities.
