British model Stella Tennant has died at the age of 50, her family has said.

"It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of Stella Tennant on 22nd December 2020," they said in a statement to the PA news agency.

"Stella was a wonderful woman and an inspiration to us all. She will be greatly missed."

Tennant, from Scotland, made her name in the early 1990s, appearing in photoshoots for publications such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

She appeared on runways and in advertising campaigns for fashion brands including Calvin Klein, Chanel and Burberry.

She also starred in the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games alongside fellow British models like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

Wednesday's statement added: "Her family ask for their privacy to be respected. Arrangements for a memorial service will be announced at a later date."

Away from the catwalk, in 2009 Tennant worked with a green lifestyle organisation to promote using less energy at home. In 2012, she was inducted into the Scottish Fashion Awards Hall of Fame.
