BREAKING: Tara Palmer Tomkinson Dies Aged 45

Tara Palmer Tomkinson has died aged 45, reports confirm today.

The English socialite was found dead in her London apartment today Wednesday February 8th, just three months after revealing her battle with severe illness and a brain tumour to the world.

Police were called to her home in Bramham Gardens, London today at around 1.40pm, and Tara was pronounced dead at the scene. A cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

The model’s non-malignant tumour was discovered in January 2016, but she kept her health issues a secret until November 2016, also revealing that she had an auto-immune disease which left her chronically ill.

“I’m not the person I was, I’m much calmer,” she told Daily Mail back in November.

“It used to really matter what people thought and said about me. Now, it doesn’t bother me whether people write that I’m off my face, on my face, in my face, whatever. It’s all pretty trivial compared to [the illness]. I’ve carried this secret for a year. I wanted to deal with my illness privately but there have been so many rumours flying around.”
