Photographer Alison Webster said: 'I'm heartbroken. Jenny was fresh and interesting and looked like someone you would meet in the street - that's why she won Page 3 Idol. I've spoken to her mum who is in deep shock.

'Jenny always talked about her - and loved all her family, who were so supportive of her career.'

Ms Grant's friend Charlie Whitfield wrote on her Facebook page: 'Everyone who ever knew you loved you and will miss you.

'My thoughts are with your family and all your close friends. Can't believe I am writing this. It just doesn't seem real. Love you Granty, love Charlie xxxxxx.'

Kris Wu said: 'Rest in Peace Jen, you'll be greatly missed.'

Jenny won £5,000 cash, a photo shoot, an official calendar a luxury holiday to Mauritius and a year's contract with The Sun after winning the paper's Page 3 idol competition.

After winning in January, she said: 'I was such a swot at school I never even thought about boys.

'All I was interested in was getting good grades. At the moment my uni course is still really important to me.'
