Flack’s latest television project as a host, which was titled The Surjury<\/em>, announced they would no longer air on Channel 4.<\/p>\n

“We are shocked and saddened to hear the tragic news about Caroline Flack,” a Channel 4 spokeswoman said per the PA Wire. “Our deepest sympathies go out to Caroline’s family and friends. “Under the circumstances, we have decided not to broadcast The Surjury<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
