Disney Premieres Caroline Flack Documentary
A new two-part documentary series, "Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth," premieres on November 10 exclusively on Disney in the United Kingdom and Ireland, offering an in-depth look at the final months of the British television presenter's life. Produced by Curious Films, the series follows Caroline Flack's mother, Christine Flack, as she investigates the events surrounding her daughter's 2019 arrest and the intense media scrutiny that followed, culminating in Flack's death by suicide in February 2020 at age 40.
Flack, known for hosting ITV's "Love Island" from 2015 to 2019, as well as "The X Factor" and "Strictly Come Dancing," where she won in 2014, stepped down from "Love Island" after police charged her with assault by beating in connection with an incident involving her then-boyfriend, tennis player Lewis Burton, in December 2019. Flack denied the allegation. The charge stemmed from a disagreement in which prosecutors initially recommended a caution, but the Metropolitan Police appealed the decision and pursued the case. A coroner's inquest in August 2020 ruled that Flack took her own life shortly after learning authorities planned to proceed with the prosecution.
