Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who was found dead in her London flat yesterday aged 45, 'spent much of the past year thinking about death' following a brain tumour diagnosis. In a recent, unpublished interview conducted just weeks before her death, she was asked what drives her in life. 'To make my family proud of me again,' she said. 'I've put them through a lot.' The revelation came after years on the London party scene where she battled drug addictions and made her name as the 'original It-girl'. (She is pictured left, with a male friend following her birthday in 2011, inset, with former boyfriend Duncan James, in 2012 following a party, top right, her slurred appearance on Frank Skinner's show which led to another stint in rehab, and bottom right with her family, who were close friends with the Royals.)

The 45-year-old former It girl revealed in November she had been receiving treatment for a non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland.

Gary Lineker saves a fortune by avoiding tax in schemes

From the moral high ground that Gary Lineker so resolutely occupies, he enjoys a crystal clear view of world affairs. Brexit Britain is a 'dystopian land' where the decision by voters to leave the EU makes him 'feel ashamed of my generation'. He has tweeted a number of times and protested against Donald Trump (top inset and right). Public attitudes to refugees can be 'hideously racist and utterly heartless'. Nigel Farage is 'disgusting'. Iain Duncan Smith is an 'irritable dunce'. Then at the weekend, he went into bat against an old foe - popular newspapers (bottom left inset), which had exhibited the temerity to reveal that David Beckham's efforts to manipulate the honours system had been stymied by his equally vigorous attempts to avoid paying tax. Yet one important area of Lineker's life is curiously absent. It also, coincidentally, has almost never been properly addressed in his public statements, or endless commentary on social media. Namely: His colourful tax affairs.

Temperatures in the next few days will be up to 5C colder than expected at this time of year, and the Met Office has issued warnings for ice in parts of South West England.

Richard Branson's Necker Island's famous guests

Former US President Barack Obama (top row, right) has become the latest big name to enjoy Sir Richard Branson's hospitality at his personal paradise, Necker Island (inset), in the Caribbean. Necker is a party island, beloved of the celebrity hoi polloi, from Kates Moss and Winslet to ex-Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and the odd royal, global guru or head of state who fancies a freebie. Anyone, in fact, who doesn't mind sharing a hot tub with the host for obligatory selfies (pictured top with Harry Styles, far left, and Sir Richard, second right), or being snapped joshing around with him on the beach or in the water - and then seeing those photographs shared with millions. (Also pictured are: top row from left: Kate Winslet with Sir Richard and his mother Eve and Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff; bottom row from left: Princess Diana with Princes Harry and William in 1990, Mariah Carey and Kelly Brook)

In one of the photos it really does look like the ex-President and the Virgin boss are in a relationship. Like a honeymoon couple frolicking with each other in the balmy Caribbean.

A Brazilian cop spotted Pilipa, who she initially mistook for a beggar, shuffling down a dirt track in bare feet, and dirty, unwashed Bermuda shorts and a vest. He had no passport, without without any form of identification.

Whisked from an orphanage onto Madonna's private jet: Twin sisters from Malawi begin their new life after the 'overjoyed' star adopts them - but not before judge asked 'uncomfortable questions' about star's plans for the girls

Court appointed guardian Dominic Misomali told MailOnline: 'You could see the love she had for them in her face and she was already a mother to them. The girls are very happy and very excited about what is happening to them.' Madonna had been trying to adopt the girls for two years and made previous visits to the nation to visit them.

TJ Maxx & Marshalls scrap signs for Ivanka Trump's brand

Ivanka Trump's beleaguered fashion brand has taken another kicking after the bosses of TJ Maxx and Marshalls demanded stores throw out her advertisements and take down her special displays. Last week workers at the chains - which are both owned by TJX Companies - were told that her products would no longer hold pride of place in the stores (the picture on the right dates from December, before the memo was sent and was posted by a #GrabYourWallet supporter). 'Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into [other products on the racks],' the note, leaked to The New York Times, read. 'All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.' It's yet another blow for the socialite's business, which has already been dropped entirely by a string of retailers, including luxury chains Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, as a major anti-Trump boycott continues.

President Trump's choice to serve on the Supreme Court said in a private meeting that he finds Trump's Twitter attacks on a federal judge 'disheartening,' it was revealed.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the retailer Nordstrom on Wednesday morning for dumping his daughter's clothing line, trashing the retailer on Twitter in a move Sean Spicer later defended.

The president said judges and lawyers heard on a live-streamed conference call were dancing around the meaning of a law allowing him to keep out any group of foreigners he sees fit to exclude.

Schindler's List 'House' where Amon Goth shot Jews

The villa, immortalised by the 1993 film Schindler's List, is where Nazi sadist Amon Göth lived while he was Kraków-Paszów death camp commander, before his execution for genocide in 1946. Twice married Göth kept two Jewish maids prisoner in the basement, whom he tortured and abused. The property, in southern Poland, is at the centre of an extraordinary row involving the new owner Artur Niemyski who is renovating it for his family to move in. Jewish campaigners want it turned into a museum. Göth once killed a Jewish boy because he didn't ask permission to leave the room. He stabbed one of his maids in the leg because she didn't set enough places at the dinner table.

Cincinnati Zoo cares for 3 Malayan tiger cubs

Three Malayan tiger cubs (left) were born on Friday at the Cincinnati Zoo. The adorable cubs are currently being cared for by staff in the zoo's nursery after their mother rejected them at birth. First-time mother Cinta's maternal instincts 'didn't kick in', according to the zoo's website. Now, nursery staffers are keeping the cubs warm (bottom right) and feeding them (top right) so the their body temperatures won't get too low without their mother's warmth. Zoo officials said it's not 'uncommon' for first-time tiger moms to reject their young and sometimes the mothers can be aggressive and even harm or kill their young. The cubs will be moved to Cat Canyon when they're weaned and no longer require constant care. Visitors should be able to see them in their outdoor habitat in early spring. There are fewer than 500 Malayan tigers left in the world. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, fragmentation and poaching. Cincinnati Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers.
