Caroline Flack will make a posthumous appearance on screen in a film role alongside Steve Coogan.
The celebrity world was in shock on Saturday after Caroline was found dead at her east London home– with a lawyer confirming she had taken her own life aged 40.
The tragic former Love Island host will feature in the satirical film Greed – directed by award winning filmmaker Michael Winterbottom – which is due for release on 21 February.
Caroline makes a cameo appearance alongside Australian actress Isla Fisher, 44, and 54-year-old Steve – introducing the Alan Partridge star’s character Sir Richard McCreadie.

Caroline’s character hands a check to Steve’s character announcing: “Now time for the man you’ve all been waiting for, the king of the high street.”
The film features other British stars in cameo roles including singers Pixie Lott and James Blunt, and Made in Chelsea star Ollie Locke.
The film will be released in UK cinemas just under one week after the shock news that the TV star had taken her own life.

Tributes to Caroline have flooded in since her shock death was made public.
Former X Factor co-host Olly Murs revealed via Instagram that he had been unable to stop crying since learning of his former colleague’s death– while reflected on some of the good times they shared together.
“We never stopped laughing, flirting (who can forget that)… singing (which I always loved hearing)… these are the moments I’ve always cherished but right now as I write this it’s hit me I won’t have them moments again,” he said in an emotional post.

News of the preventer’s death has led some fans to campaign for Love Island to be cancelled following the deaths of former contestants Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon as well as Caroline.
One wrote: “Time to get rid of Love Island. It’s been pulled from tonight’s schedule. Let’s hope this series ends early and it gets AXED permanently.”
A second said: “Love Island is dangerous. Get Love Island axed before something else happens please.”
A spokesperson for the Flack family said on Saturday: “We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February.”
They added: “We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.”
