It is always difficult to write obituaries for anyone that you know, but writing one for Chelsea is somewhat sadder for me, particularly as she was so young and was found in a public park in Derby after a night out celebrating her 33rd birthday. At the time of going to press, the cause of death is unknown but the police have said that they are not treating it as suspicious.

Chelsea was very much a ‘larger than life’ character. I think it is fair to say that whenever she walked into a room her presence was felt, whether it be her lively bubbly personality or the glamour that shone from her.
