Hair and make-up artist to the stars, Lou Teasdale has posted a series of moving tributes to Caroline Flack, as a new two-part Disney+ documentary about her best friend, involving the late Love Island host’s mum, Christine, airs. The 42 year old mum of one from Yorkshire posted the touching images on her Instagram stories on Sunday 9 November, on what would have been Caroline’s 45th birthday.

They came just a day before the powerful two-parter, which features never-before-heard-or-seen messages from Caroline to those closest to her at the time, was released on the streaming channel in the UK. The first was a beautiful black and white image of the pair in what looks like a hot tub, smiling, with the words, ‘happy birthday nice friend’.

A second shows the pair beaming as they splash in the sea, alongside the caption, ‘I miss you a lot’, accompanied by a white heart. In another image, Lou – who appears in the doc, shared the quote, ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind’ in an echo of the sentiment shared by many following the TV host’s shock death in 2020.

Lou, who is in a relationship with footballer Andy Carroll and shares daughter Lux, 14, with her ex, singer Tom Atkin, was the last person to see Caroline before she died and has shared regular tributes to her late friend following her heartbreaking passion.

She and Caroline first met in their 20s, while both were putting in long hours in their careers, Caroline was the face of The X Factor and Lou was working as a stylist on the show, becoming the chief stylist for One Direction when they went on tour.

The pair went on to become close friends, and would go on nights out together and even on holiday. It’s believed Lou was one of those who helped Caroline when she was struggling with her mental health.

Caroline tragically took her own life aged just 40, while she was facing trial accused of assaulting her tennis player boyfriend, Lewis Burton, a coroner ruled.

On December 12 2019, she allegedly attacked Burton with a lamp at her flat in Islington, north London in the early hours of the morning – something her mum blasts as untrue in the documentary – and the next day was charged by the Metropolitan Police with assault by beating

The new documentary sees Caroline’s mum air her views, exploring the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s final 24 hours – and seeking answers as to whether her daughter’s suicide could have been avoided.

Christine shares in the show trailer, “People think they know what happened to Caroline, but the reality is much darker, there’s so much information the public haven’t seen. I want the truth to come out.”

Caroline Flack’s ex-partner Lewis Burton isn’t featured in the late star’s new Disney Plus documentary, which sees her friends and family recounting the former Love Island presenter’s final days

*Warning: the following content may be distressing for some readers*

A heartbreaking documentary delving into the tragic death of much-loved presenter Caroline Flack is now streaming on Disney Plus, but there is one person missing from the series.

Featuring two episodes, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth sees the late star’s mum retracing the events leading up to her daughter’s untimely death.

Caroline took her own life at just 40 years old, while she was awaiting trial for the alleged assault of her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton.

The former Love Island host’s arrest, just months before her death, thrust her into the midst of a ‘relentless media storm,’ which is also explored in the doc.

A synopsis 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.”

While Christine and Caroline’s close friends sit down to recount the TV star’s final days, her ex isn’t featured.

Why isn’t Lewis Burton in the Caroline Flack documentary?

Since the day of Caroline’s arrest, Lewis stood by his former partner and did not support the prosecution’s charges against her.

However, the documentary’s production team claims he declined to participate in the Disney+ series.

Speaking at an exclusive screening of the show, series producer Sophie Clayton-Payne revealed that Lewis had been invited to take part.

“We contacted as many people as possible,” she started.

“We contacted Lewis right from the beginning and we said ‘We’d love to talk to you off-record just for research purposes [to] understand your perspective on everything.’

“We also invited him to take part in the series, on camera. He declined to take part.”

Sophie continued, explaining why the documentary producers felt it was inappropriate to ‘pressure’ Lewis into contributing.

She said: “I think it’s really important to remember that he’s never spoken about this publicly. People grieve differently and we have a duty of care to people on and off camera.

“So, we were never going to put pressure on him to take part. But we did always keep the door open for him should he ever change his mind.”

Fans of crime dramas are in for a massive treat tonight as a star-studded gangster film is set to air on Film4.

The 2009 biographical crime drama, directed by Michael Mann and starring Hollywood heavyweights Christian Bale and Johnny Depp, will transport viewers back to the American Depression-era with a thrilling story based on true events. Public Enemies will be broadcast tonight, November 10, at 10:50pm on Film4. The film’s screenplay was co-written by Ann Biderman and Ronan Bennett, adapted from Bryan Burrough’s 2004 non-fiction book titled Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34.

The plot centres around the charismatic Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, who becomes a folk hero to much of America’s downtrodden public, but also a major headache for J. Edgar vacuum and the fledgling FBI. In a desperate bid to capture the elusive outlaw, vacuum makes Dillinger his first Public Enemy Number One and assigns his top agent, Melvin Purvis, the task of bringing him in dead or alive.

Joining Depp and Bale in the stellar cast are Marion Cotillard, Carey Mulligan, Billy Crudup, Channing Tatum, Stephen Dorff, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribisi, among others, reports the Express.

Discussing his role as Melvin Purvis in a 2009 Collider interview, Bale revealed: “I recognize of course that it’s very much a supporting role in this movie, but I just couldn’t help but become really fascinated with the character and became very affectionate and fond of him. I just wanted to know as much as I could and it’s all out there as well. He was somebody who was unique.”

Public Enemies arrived in cinemas on July 1, 2009, and subsequently earned $214million worldwide at the box office. Boasting a 68 per cent critics approval rating on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, Public Enemies garnered largely favourable reviews from both critics and moviegoers.

One reviewer described it as: “A thinking man’s gangster film, less about thrills than the mechanics of Dillinger’s heists and Purvis’ investigation, which [director Michael Mann] executes with his usual precision.” While another critic wrote: “Mann depicts the giddy excesses and fearsome violence of Dillinger’s raids with his customary savage grace.”

A third reviewer deemed it “easily one of 2009’s most satisfying action dramas for adults”, whilst another critic declared: “The lush sets and gorgeous costumes coupled with the grainy cinematography make for a totally immersive experience, pulling a modern audience into a bygone era of fast cars, tommy guns and femme fatales.”

One fan of the film said: “Wonderful film – great performances from all lead actors and remarkably true to what really happened.” While another added: “One of the best gangster movies about depression-era criminals and crimes. Brilliant performances from Depp, Bale, and Cotillard. Micheal Mann makes really good crime films. I loved it.”

Davina McCall took to her social media to tell her followers that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be undergoing radiotherapy

View 3 Images

Lorraine Kelly has sent her celeb pal Davina McCall a sweet message after she revealed her breast cancer diagnosis. Davina revealed on Saturday that she had found a lump in her breast which turned out to be cancer.

In a video that she shared to Instagram, Davina mentioned that she found the lump when she was filming The Masked Singer. She explained that she was encouraged to check her breasts by posters for the Lorraine’s Change and Check campaign in the toilets.

Davina said that luckily she found the lump “very, very early” and has had a lumpectomy to remove it. The star’s lymph nodes were clear and then next step is for her to have five days of radiotherapy which is scheduled for January.

Lorraine has now spoken out about Davina’s news on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine said: “I’m just really sorry that Davina had to go through that but it’s fantastic that she caught it early, that’s brilliant,” she said.

“The campaign has been going on for many years now, it’s all over the country. We’ve got stickers all over the country and it’s just great that Davina saw it and so many others. We know of more than 100 women and one lovely fella who sadly found their cancer but like I say with the campaign, they get it early which is really good.

“It was all thanks to our [producer] Helen Addis of course. She got cancer herself, wanted to do something positive and she thought up the Change and Check campaign.”

She continued: “Absolutely delighted that Davina has caught this early and she’s going to be absolutely fine but it just shows you that you have to take responsibility and do it yourself. We’re sending her all our love and everybody who’s going through the same thing because sadly there are far too many women and men as well who are going through this.”

Speaking in a video to fans on Saturday, Davina said: “I just wanted to tell you I have had breast cancer, I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went.

“One morning I saw it in the mirror and I thought, ‘I’m going to get that looked at.’ So I had a biopsy and found out it was indeed breast cancer. I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago and the margins, they take out a little bit extra, they check the margins and the margins are clear.

“It was very, very small so I got it very, very early which is incredibly lucky. But I am so relieved to have had it removed and to know that it hasn’t spread.

“My lymph nodes were clear, I didn’t have any removed and all I’m going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January as an insurance policy. Then I am on my journey to stop it from ever coming back.”

Davina then went on to thank everybody at the Royal Marsden hospital who had been involved in treating her. She also thanked her “brilliant kids” for their support.

She added: “An extra special thanks to Michael – it’s been a lot. I was very angry when I found out but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.

“I think my message is – get checked if you’re worried, check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram then get it done and I have dense breasts and I had a mammogram in August.

“I was postponing the ultrasound, I just couldn’t find time to do it – don’t do that. Get the ultrasound and thanks for watching. I’m sending all a massive hug.”
