Mann, 28 and Hampson, who was 34, were set to finally tie the knot on that Saturday, having had to postpone their original dates twice due to COVID-19.

Tragically, she died in the early hours of the morning, leaving behind a slew of family and friends, including the son she and Mann, shared eight-month-old Bowie. Hampson's cause of death is yet to be announced.

A talented dancer, she worked as a PR executive at Knowles Communications before she died.
