Christine appeared on the Morning Show to discuss the event, and host Kate Garraway inquired about her health.

“I just feel really sad and I don’t think that feeling is going to go,” she said, becoming emotional.

“I think you just feel there’s a sadness.

“But you get on with things. Everybody has to get on with life and do things.

“But the sadness doesn’t go.”

Christine said she thought the festival, which will also feature comedy and dance acts, was a “positive” way to celebrate the TV star.

“In a really positive way, she loved dancing and singing,” she said.

“She loved festivals and there was such negativity around when she died that this is something that she was really like. It was her 90% of the time.

“It’s the best way I can think that we can celebrate her. Because she was like that. She thought about people’s feelings.

“Things, they do hurt. But this will just be positive.”

“We will be laughing,” she went on.

“We will be singing hopefully. We will probably do quite a bit of crying. But it is just lovely.”

Natalie Pinkham, a friend of Flack’s, joined Christine on the ITV show.

Because of the COVID outbreak, the sports broadcaster said there was no time to conduct a tribute for Flack.

“I think a big part of grief is coming together and we weren’t able to do that either and so this represents all of that in a very positive way,” she said.
