She collapsed at her fourth floor studio apartment in Earl's Court, West London, with emergency services pronouncing her dead at the scene.

Louis understandably cancelled all work commitments in light of the heartbreaking news, including his planned performance of new single Two Of Us - which is a tribute to his late mother - on last night's Comic Relief.

He is instead focusing on his family, with the star also big brother to 20-year-old Lottie, 14-year-old twins Daisy and Phoebe, and five-year-old twins Doris and Ernest.
