“Devastated to share the news of George’s passing.

“One of the funniest and naughtiest, never mind most beautiful friends, we all wanted to hang out with George backstage.

“Sending so much love to her son, family and friends.

“Gone too soon.”

Cooper’s former agent Dean Goodman also confirmed the news in a statement to the New York Post.

“I can confirm the death of the beauty that was Georgina Cooper,” he said.

“She loved Greece and told me that she was going back with her new husband – but she has tragically died there a fortnight ago.

“Georgina had been unwell during Covid and had developed some health problems and had been in and out of hospital.

“She had just married and was looking forward to her life. Everybody is devastated. She was a genuine superstar.

“She was a special one, like no other I have ever looked after, she was real… hard to find these days and she will be sorely missed by me and the many others that she touched their lives.

“Seeing the outpouring of love for her is beautiful and shows what a special person she was, a naughty funny soul, and a smile that lit up any room or catwalk.”
