A social media influencer has died after being hit by a car in central London last weekend.
Klaudia Zakrzewska, 32, from Essex, was involved in a collision in Argyll Street, Soho, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
She was taken to hospital but died earlier today.
Former X Factor contestant Gabrielle Carrington, 29, of Broadfield Road, Manchester, was charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving.
She appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, 21 April and was remanded in custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, 19 May.
Following Ms Zakrzewska's death, the charge of attempted murder will be amended to murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation, said: "We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Klaudia's family and friends in light of this tragic update. Our thoughts are also with everyone impacted by this incident.
"We recognise that this case has generated significant interest and discussion on social media, however, we would urge the public to refrain from further speculation.
"We also ask that people do not share graphic footage out of respect for Klaudia's loved ones and for those who have been injured. The circulation of such material could also undermine our ongoing criminal investigation and potentially prejudice future court proceedings."
Ms Zakrzewska, a TikTok and Instagram influencer known by the name of Klaudiaglam, had over 270,000 followers on Instagram.
A GoFundMe page set up by Ms Zakrzewska's mother has raised over £18,000.
Carrington appeared on TV talent show The X Factor in 2013 as part of a girl group, making it to the third week of live shows. Now a social media influencer, she has more than 360,000 followers on Instagram, under her account RielleUK.
During her court appearance, Carrington made a heart sign with her hands towards friends and family in the packed public gallery as she was led out of the dock and back to the cells.
