Former ‘It-girl’ Tara Palmer-Tomkinson died yesterday aged 45, three months after revealing she was suffering from a brain tumour.

The ex-model and reality television star was pronounced dead at her £4million London penthouse.

She had been receiving treatment for a rare auto-immune condition and a growth in her pituitary gland.

However, she had recently said the tumour was gone, and neighbours said she was ‘happy and smiling’ when they saw her last week.

Police said they were treating her death as unexplained but not suspicious.

A regular on the London party scene in the 1990s and 2000s, Miss Palmer-Tomkinson frequently hit the headlines with her extravagant lifestyle and revealing outfits.

She had a well-documented battle with cocaine, spending up to £400 a day at the height of her addiction.

Miss Palmer-Tomkinson had appeared on numerous reality TV shows, coming second to Tony Blackburn on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2002, but in recent years she became a virtual recluse as result of her drug addiction and a nervous breakdown.

She never married, but had relationships with a number of high-profile businessmen and pop stars, including Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes.
