Viewers of the Royal Variety Performance were left confused on Tuesday night when the late TV star Caroline Flack was not included in their memoriam list.
While the likes of Des O’Connor, Bobby Ball and Dame Vera Lynn were all honoured, Caroline’s name was absent, leaving some to question why she did not ‘qualify’.
The Love Island host died by suicide in February aged 40 in the run up to her trial for the alleged assault of her boyfriend Lewis Burton.

‘How comes there was no mention of @CarolineFlack1 on @ITV @RoyalVariety during the deceased list part this evening? #RoyalVariety #CarolineFlack.’
One hit back at someone who said Caroline was a performer and not a presenter and wrote: ‘Please behave’ and included a link to one of her West End performances.
Another wrote: ‘@RoyalVariety did u remember Caroline flack in ure remembrance piece or did I miss it?’ [sic]
‘Did I miss it?’ Viewers couldn’t understand why much-loved Caroline was not included
‘How do you qualify for the deceased list on the Royal Variety because there was no mention of Chadwick Boseman or Caroline Flack? #RoyalVarietyPerformance.’
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
Meanwhile, Caroline’s mother Christine has pledged to share part of the late star’s fortune with charities she was ‘passionate about.’
According to a report from The Sun, Caroline’s family have decided to distribute some of her £827,691 estate to good causes after she didn’t leave a will.
