A statement from her mother said the 24-year-old and her baby died on Saturday morning, but did not reveal how.

The London dancer and influencer, who has 180,000 Instagram followers and 90,000 on YouTube, was eight months pregnant and had been regularly keeping her fans up to date on her pregnancy, which she had described as "good".

Her mother revealed that Thea and her boyfriend, TikTok star Global Boga, 20, had named their unborn child Reign.

She said several videos her daughter had filmed before her death will be published on her YouTube channel.

One of her getting a cast of her stomach was published on the same day she died and another of a behind-the-scenes shoot of Thea getting into a bath of milk, flowers and grapefruit was published on Sunday.

Her boyfriend, a member of the street dance team Ghana Boyz, had posted a video of himself dancing with a pram early on Saturday and said in a post last week he believed his son was arriving "on a Monday".
