Cooper rose to fame in the 1990s – during the days of Cool Britannia – and had only recently married, according to her former agent.
Tributes came in from across her industry.
Her former agent Dean Goodman said: “I’m in total shock, and talked to her not long ago to meet up after she just got married.
“She was the original gap-toothed girl! I will miss her immensely, rip in peace, Georgie girl, I will never forget you and always love you, see you on the other side.”

Cooper got into modelling, aged 13, when her mum entered her in the Elite Look of The Year contest in 1992 and came third.
In a 2018 interview with The Cultural Omnivore, Cooper revealed she had stepped back from modelling after having a son, Sonny.
Instead, she had turned to working in hospitality.
The mother-of-one was reportedly in Greece when she died, according to the MailOnline.
