British supermodel Georgina Cooper, who lived in Bearsted, died of cirrhosis of the liver while on holiday in Kos

A British supermodel known as the ‘original gap-toothed girl’ died of cirrhosis of the liver and internal bleeding while in Greece, it has been revealed.

Georgina Cooper, who grew up in south London but has since moved to Kent, was reportedly on holiday on the island of Kos when she died last month.

It is understood the 46-year-old had settled in Bearsted, near Maidstone, with her family and husband Nigel and had been working in the village.

The couple married earlier this year, with the reception at the Fox and Goose in Weavering. They later had their honeymoon in Kos.

According to MailOnline, the mother-of-one was staying in a hotel in Kos when she fell ill on Monday, October 21 and was rushed to a local hospital.

She was then reportedly flown to a facility in Heraklion, on the island of Crete, where she died in intensive care five days later.

Her cause of death has been reported as cirrhosis of the liver and internal bleeding after her organs failed.

The 90s supermodel’s funeral service is expected to take place next Wednesday at Vinters Park Crematorium in Maidstone.

Following her death, dozens of tributes poured in online from people in the fashion industry.

Jade Parfitt, a British model and presenter, said: “Devastated to share the news of George’s passing. One of the funniest and naughtiest, let alone prettiest friends, we all wanted to hang out with George backstage.

“Sending so much love to her son, family and friends. Gone way too soon.”

In a post on Instagram, her former agent Dean Goodman shared photos of Georgina in her heyday and said he was “absolutely devastated”.

He added: “I am totally shocked and I spoke to her not too long ago to meet after she had just gotten married. She was the original gap-toothed girl.

“I will miss her dearly, rest in peace Georgie girl, I will never forget you and love you always, see you on the other side.”

Georgina started modeling at the age of 13, when her mother entered her into the Elite Look of The Year competition in 1992 and she came third.

After appearing in a Bon Jovi music video at the age of 15, she rose to fame in the 1990s with appearances at runway shows and on iconic magazine covers.
