A pregnant British mummy vlogger has been crushed to death by an 18-wheel truck in a tragic moped accident in Thailand.

Sophie Emma Rose was killed on the popular island of Phuket when a truck allegedly smashed into the moped she was riding pillion on, whilst her partner, Danny Glass, was driving.

The 41-year-old, who was six months pregnant, suffered fatal head injuries in the crash, in the Thalang area, with her boyfriend escaping with minor injuries.

Rose had appeared on ITV's This Morning Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby last year where she expressed her belief that women should breast feed children until they're at least eight.

Rose was expecting her second child after giving birth to her son, Shaye, five years ago.

The 29-year-old Glass took to Facebook to pay tribute to his "precious" partner.

He said: "Tragic news my girlfriend died in a scooter accident we had today. I am in total shock as I've lost the most precious person I had ever connected.

"My brain keeps going into denial. I am distraught. She was also pregnant so I lost my child too."
