Melanie C and Kate Lawler paid tribute to late Love Island host Caroline Flack as they attended the annual Flackstock festival on Friday night.

Living up to her her ‘Sporty’ nickname, singer Mel, 51, opted for a multi coloured special edition Spice Girls football shirt, which she paired with black shorts and white trainers as she arrived at the event.

Flackstock takes place every year and aims to raise money for mental health causes after Caroline took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40. 

The former Spice Girls star took to the stage to pay tribute to the late TV host, as she put on an energetic DJ set, sticking her tongue out and gesticulating throughout her time behind the decks.

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

She also caught the eye in a patterned waistcoat, which flashed a hint of her midriff and exhibited her bronzed legs in a pair of thigh-skimming denim shorts and cowboy boots.

The former Big Brother star looked sensational as she posed for the camera in the stylish ensemble, which she accessorised with a chunky belt and tie necklace.

Also in attendance and performing for the night were former Boyzone member Keith Duffy and former Westlife member, Brian McFadden.

The pair who now make up Boyslife made sure they gave their fans what they wanted when they performed their big hits on stage.

Keith, 50, made sure to stand out from the crows as he donned a white leather jacket, adorned with red and black inkings.

He wore the bold number over the top of a leopard print shirt, which he’d unbuttoned to show off some chest and a black vest he also wore underneath. 

He finished off his look with a pair of black trousers, some white and black lace up shoes and a chunky pocket chain. 

Meanwhile Brian wore a red bomber jacket which he paired with black trousers with a matching red stripe and chain. 

Michelle Heaton, who is back singing with Liberty X, sent temperatures soaring in a  thigh-skimming floral minidress which she wore with a cross body bag and an array of jewellery.

A string of other famous famous turned out for the event at Crystal Palace bowl to show their support, including S Club 7’s Jo O’Meara and Jon Lee.

The blonde bombshell looked cool and summery in a white dress with sequins, while Jon chose a a very low cut vest for the occasion and jeans.

Caroline famously hosted Xtra Factor before her time on Love Island and fellow X Factor legend Diana Vickers – who competed on the show in 2008 before releasing classic pop tracks like Once – looked sensational in a pair of gym shorts and oversized T-shirt.

She completed her edgy look with a black baseball cap. 

Former Love Islander Wes Nelson was also part of the billing and beamed for the camera upon arrival.

Radio host Zoe Hardman and TV presenter Dawn O’Porter upped the style stacks for as they wore colourful outfits for their attendance.

Zoe looked sensational in some floral trousers and a pink feather boa as she posed against a pink tiled wall.

She wore a pair of black sunglasses, scraped her blonde locks back and opted for some chunky bracelets to complete her look.

Dawn wore a multi coloured sequin coat over the top of a white T-shirt, denim shorts and pink ballet pumps.

Also in attendance were former Lover Islander Chris Taylor and Ginger Johnson, HarleyMoon Kemp, musician Anna Blue, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham, Oliver Cheshire and Caroline’s twin sister, Jody.
