Her family said in a statement: “It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of Stella Tennant on 22nd December 2020.
“Stella was a wonderful woman and an inspiration to us all. She will be greatly missed.
“Her family ask for their privacy to be respected. Arrangements for a memorial service will be announced at a later date.”

Stella also showed off her modelling prowess in an appearance during the 2012 London Olympics, as she was selected to appear in the closing ceremony alongside a handful of other British models.
