On Friday evening, Melanie C and Kate Lawler honored the memory of Caroline Flack during the yearly Flackstock event.

Displaying her affection for sports, singer Mel, aged 51, chose a vibrant multi-colored Spice Girls special edition football jersey for the occasion. She paired it with black shorts and white sneakers upon her arrival at the event, reflecting her well-earned ‘Sporty’ moniker.

Each year, the event known as Flackstock is held with a focus on collecting funds for mental health initiatives, following the tragic suicide of Caroline, who passed away in February 2020 at the age of 40.

In a heartfelt tribute, the former member of the Spice Girls performed on stage, spinning an exhilarating DJ set complete with playful tongue-sticking-out moments and animated gestures while manning the decks.

Mel was in good company with fellow DJ Kate Lawler, 45.

Additionally, she drew attention with a stylish waistcoat adorned with patterns, showcasing her toned midriff and displaying her tanned legs in fashionable denim shorts that just brushed her thighs, paired with cowboy boots.

Previously known Big Brother celebrity exuded elegance while striking poses for the camera, donning a fashionable outfit that included a thick waistband and a tie necklace as additional accents.

Additionally, former members Keith Duffy (from Boyzone) and Brian McFadden (originally from Westlife) graced the stage that evening with their performances.

The duo behind Boyslife ensured they delivered what the audience desired, performing their popular tracks flawlessly on stage.

Keith, who is 50 years old, deliberately distinguished himself among the crowd by wearing a stylish white leather jacket, embellished with vibrant red and black designs.

He donned a standout number atop a leopard-patterned shirt, partially undone to reveal his chest and a black undershirt hidden beneath.

To complete his ensemble, he added a pair of black trousers, white and black lace-up shoes, and a thick belt chain.

Simultaneously, Brian donned a red leather flight jacket, complementing it with black trousers that sported a red stripe down the sides and a chain.

Michelle Heaton, returning to sing with Liberty X, heated things up by donning a flirty, floral mini dress that gracefully hugged her legs. She accessorized it with a cross-body bag and a variety of jewelry.

Many well-known faces graced the event held at Crystal Palace Bowl, with S Club 7 members Jo O’Meara and Jon Lee among them, displaying their solidarity.

In a fresh and sun-kissed style, the radiant beauty donned a sparkling white gown adorned with sequins, contrasting with Jon’s choice for the event: a fitted vest with a deep neckline paired with denim trousers.

Previously, Caroline was well-known for hosting Xtra Factor. During that time, she shared the spotlight with Diana Vickers, another iconic figure from The X Factor who competed in 2008 and later released popular pop songs like “Once.” Recently, both women looked stunning, with Caroline donning gym shorts and an oversized t-shirt, while Diana showcased her style in a similar outfit.

She completed her edgy look with a black baseball cap. 

Previously on Love Island, Wes Nelson, a former contestant, graced the event with his presence, flashing a bright smile as he made his entrance.

As an utterly devoted admirer, let me tell you that I couldn’t help but notice Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis) strutting his stuff in a bold combat shirt, paired with a casual T-shirt and jeans combo the other day. He accessorized this stylish outfit with a massive crossbody bag, shades, and a cool neck brace – quite the unique ensemble!

The radio host, Zoe Hardman, and TV presenter, Dawn O’Porter, elevated their fashion game by donning vibrant ensembles for their appearance.

Zoe was stunning, donning a pair of floral pants and a pink feather boa, as she gracefully struck a pose next to a vibrant pink tiled backdrop.

Instead of the sunglasses being black, she put on a pair of dark shades; instead of having long blonde hair, she gathered it together and tied it back; to finish off her appearance, she selected several large bracelets.

At dawn, she donned a vibrant sequined coat with multiple colors, layered over a plain white t-shirt, denim shorts, and completed the look with pink ballet flats.

Additionally present were Chris Taylor, a former Love Island contestant, along with Ginger Johnson, HarleyMoon Kemp, singer Anna Blue, television host Natalie Pinkham, fashion model Oliver Cheshire, and Caroline’s twin sibling, Jody.

Approximately five years back, Caroline sadly passed away. In her memory, her deeply saddened family and friends organized an intimate festival to honor her life and raise essential funds for four mental health charities that held special significance for Caroline.
