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.

Meh.

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.

Yeah, people can die at any age, such is life.

Holy crap, this is the 1st I've heard of this.

shocked.

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?

gormdubhgorm

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.

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

Your Face

She was young.
RIP.
