TV Celebrity Tara Palmer Tomkinson Has Died At The Age Of 45

Tara Palmer Tomkinson has been found dead in her London flat. She was just 45 years old.

She was known as an 'It Girl' and and English socialite, however she more recently appeared on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

A spokesman said: "Police were called by London Ambulance Service at approximately 13:40hrs on Wednesday, 8 February to an address in Bramham Gardens, SW5.

"A woman, aged in her 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Next of kin have been informed.

"The death is being treated as unexplained. At this early stage, police are not treating the death as suspicious.

"Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing. The Coroner has been informed."

She was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in January of last year, but only chose to reveal her diagnosis in November.

At the time, she said: "I'm not the person I was, I'm much calmer. I don't go to places like Ibiza because the party world scares me."
