Chloe’s mother told the StokeOnTrentLive: "We still don't know the cause of death. She really wanted Viggo Venn to win. She even voted for him. She never saw that he won.”

People attending former dental receptionist Chloe's funeral, June 28 at Bradwell Crematorium in Newcastle-under-Lyme were asked to wear purple or lilac. Ami described her daughter's death as "heartbreaking", as well as paying tribute to Chloe as "very bubbly" and "kind and caring".

She said Chloe had been "belly-laughing" when watching Norwegian comedian Viggo Venn on ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent the night before she died. She then said she woke up the next morning to find Chloe dead at the foot of her bed.

She added: "It's been one tragedy after another. Ami said: "We were staying with my grandchildren's mum and all spending some time together.

We had a roast chicken dinner which was Chloe's favourite. We all settled down to sleep."
