On the anniversary of her death in February 2021, artist Scott Wilcock painted a mural of Flack on a wall in Wigan as a tribute. It featured a quote by author Jennifer Dukes Lee that Flack had requoted, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind”.
Following Flack’s death, Lisa Nandy, a British Labour Party MP, blamed social media platforms for failing to prevent harassment and bullying.
Stephanie Davis, Flack’s friend, started a petition to establish new laws for “protecting celebrities and people in the public eye,” which garnered over 500,000 signatures in a week.
