Tara Palmer-Tomkinson - the ultimate It girl in pictures - BBC News
The classic "It girl", Tara Palmer-Tomkinson spent much of her life facing a camera lens.
While her life as a London socialite in her early 20s was being documented in her own Sunday Times column, it was accompanied by a growing problem with cocaine use. It all came to a head with an appearance on the Frank Skinner Show in 1999, in which she slurred her words, struggled to remember her host's name and asked him "Are you married or are you single and what are you doing later?". The TV appearance was quickly followed by a spell in rehab.
