director of television Kevin Lygo said Flack’s “passion, dedication and boundless energy” contributed to‘s success. “Everyone at ITV is absolutely devastated and still trying to process this tragic news,” he said.
Amid criticism that ITV turned its back on Flack after she was charged last year with assaulting her boyfriend, Lygo said it was made clear to her that she could return to presenting. “After Caroline stepped down from the show ITV made it clear that the door was left open for her to return and theproduction team remained in regular contact with her and continued to offer support over the last few months,” he added.
Monday’s episode continued as normal following the tribute to Flack, albeit with a slightly more sober tone to Stirling’s usually acerbic voiceover. Sponsorship messages around the show were also replaced with messages to call the Samaritans if people want to talk about their mental health. The winter season, the first of its kind on ITV2, will conclude on Sunday, with Flack’s replacement Laura Whitmore expected to oversee the finale.
