A social media influencer has died after allegedly being run over by a former X Factor finalist outside a nightclub in Soho.
Klaudia Zakrzewska, 32, from Essex, was involved in a collision on Argyll Street in central London in the early hours of Sunday, April 19.
She was taken to hospital but was sadly pronounced dead today.
Gabrielle Precious Carrington, 29, was charged with attempting to murder Tiktok and Instagram personality Klaudiaglam.
The Metropolitan Police today said that charge had now been amended to murder.
As a teenager, Carrington, also known as RIELLEUK, made it through to the live finals of The X Factor in 2013.
She was part of girl group Miss Dynamix after impressing Gary Barlow and the other judges.
More recently, she has become an influencer, with 362,000 followers on Instagram.

Det Chief Insp Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation, said today: ‘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.’
A 58-year-old man also suffered life-changing injures following the incident.
Polish-born model Ms Zakrzewska, 30, who has more than 250,000 followers on Instagram, had posted videos from the nightclub on Sunday.
When Ms Zakrzewska still remained alive in a critical condition last week, her mother posted on a GoFundMe page set up to help cover legal fees and medical costs.
She wrote: ‘My daughter is currently in a coma and desperately fighting for her life. This is the most devastating time our family has ever faced.
‘Anyone who knew my gorgeous daughter knows how truly wonderful she is.
‘She has touched so many people with her pure heart and kindness.’
Carrington appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court last Tuesday and was remanded into custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on May 19.
