A British supermodel who was known for her stunning looks during the height of the 90s has died while holidaying in Greece.

Georgina Cooper, who grew up in South London but had moved to Kent, was reportedly on holiday on the island of Kos when she passed away.

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

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

Georgina first got into modelling at age 13, when her mum entered her in the Elite Look of The Year contest in 1992 and came third.

After appearing in Bon Jovi’s music video at age 15, she shot to fame in the 1990s.

She became known as the “original gap-toothed girl” – featuring on runway shows and appearing on iconic magazine covers.

In a 2018 interview with The Cultural Omnivore, Georgina decided to focus on another career path after having her son, Sonny.

She said: “I work in the hospitality industry, and I love it because I’m a people person.

“After I had my son I just couldn’t bear to leave him alone and I wanted to be there for him.

“I tried to continue modelling but it broke my heart when I had to leave him for work.”

According to the MailOnline, the mum-of-one was staying at a hotel in Kos, Greece, when she was taken ill on Monday, October 21 and staff called an ambulance.

Her former agent, Dean Goodman, told the newspaper about her passing in a statement yesterday (November 8).

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.

“But she had plans for the future. She had just married and was looking forward to her life.”

Her cause of death is not yet known publically.

Since the news, dozens of tributes have been flooding in online from people within 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, 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.”

In his own personal message on Instagram, former agent Dean Goodman shared pictures of Georgina in her heyday and says he is “absolutely devastated”.

He added: “I'm in total shock and talked to her not long ago to meet up after she just got married.

“She was the original gap-toothed girl!

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