Supermodel Georgina Cooper, known for her gap-toothed smile, has died suddenly in Greece at the age of 46, and big industry names are mourning the loss.
Cooper, who had recently married her husband Nigel, was on the Greek island of Kos when she fell ill, according to the Daily Mail.
The outlet said that she was flown from the main Kos hospital to Crete, where she was in intensive care. After five days, the model and mother-of-one died, with her body being brought to back to England just last week.

Her agent Dean Goodman told the Daily Mail that she was sick during COVID and developed health issues. He said that she was in and out of the hospital, and called her a “genuine superstar.”
The publication said that she was scouted at 13 years old and was in a Bon Jovi music-video when she was 15.
The model was friends with many in the industry, including Kate Moss, Jade Parfitt, and Erin O’Connor.
Cooper appeared on the cover of Vogue and modeled for designers including Alexander McQueen, Burberry, and Stella McCartney.
She decided to step back from the industry to raise her son, Sonny, according to the outlet.
“You were an incredibly kind and funny human-being, Georgina,” O’Connor said in a post. “I/we all admired and loved you so much for the warmth, generosity and gentle mischief you brought to the world.”
