    Sorry to hear of her passing! I used to envy her lifestyle - she's near enough my age and she had some party life. 45 is too young to die. Ah TPT.
    Shame. RIP.

    Her column in the ST was a bit of a guilty pleasure 15 years ago. Very desirable posh totty.

    RIP.

    She had a lot of fun back in the day trying to corrupt William and Harry. Always seemed a nice lady. Sad to hear of her dying so young. May she Rest In Peace.

    I was gutted when it was revealed it was ghost written.

    God love her, she seemed like a bit of craic and seemed to have gotten over that drink/coke binge during her 20s. She was a dab hand at the piano too.

    The original It Girl was Clara Bow so TPT was not one of them.

    I liked her. She seemed good value and didn't take herself too seriously. Hope the next life is as good to her. RIP.

    I stand corrected


    It was only ghost written in the Sense she phoned it in and the columnist made it PG13

    8 years and just 15 posts and that's all we get. Why bother posting if you don't care.

    AH, you puzzle me.

    She seemed like a nice bubbly person who enjoyed life and had fun though there was obviously a darker side with demons such as drug addiction. I used to love reading her Sunday Times column back in the 90s and wished I had a fabulous life back then.

    RIP Tara.

    45 is way too young to die :( It's a tragic loss for her poor family. She always seemed so full of life and enjoyed it. R.I.P. Tara.

    It's terribly saddening. I always thought she was very glamorous and have a devil may care attitude about her. She was also very pretty. RIP.

    I read the first page and skipped to the last post and didn't bother reading.

    This lady was close to me in age, and in her time was a real IT girl.

    She grew up, dealt with her drug addiction, was vocal about it and just as life seemed to be getting good, she has died.

    When I heard the news earlier I was genuinely sad, not for me, or her family, but for her, and everything that she might have done were she still here.

    I hope she is now at peace

    RIP to the lady. She always seemed up for fun in interviews. On a side note though, is that Karl Pilkington at 3.26 in the video?

    When an IT girl dies is the correct term RIPIT girl?

    Or what is the social convention?

    When I saw the name on the TV screen ticker my initial reaction was, who?

    An information technology woman CEO I never heard of?

    Then I saw her picture.

    Oh! Yer wan! The mad posh serial partier wan.

    She lived a long time considering her "profession".

    She will continue to rip it up, if there is some form of afterlife.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I remember that interview. Was hilarious.

    Was reading the funny tribute to her in popbitch today and they claim it was rumoured she once 'interrupted a bland bout of doggy-style by turning and asking 'I say, you couldn't take it up a notch, could you?'.

    Probably not true but should be :D
