Natasha Collins' body found at their home in St Johns Wood
Friday, 4 January 2008
Children's TV presenter Mark Speight has been arrested in connection with his girlfriend's death.
The CBBC star was taken in for questioning last night after Natasha Collins' body was found in the bath of their North London home.
Mark has been bailed on suspicion of murder and supplying cocaine.
A statement issued on his behalf insists he is doing all he can to help investigations.
'At the moment no-one knows what happened. Mark found her body in the bathroom and immediately called an ambulance and the police,' the statement reads.
'Mark was the only other person present in the flat and has therefore been questioned by police as a matter of course. He is assisting police with their enquiries and had nothing to do with Natasha's death.'
The 42-year-old - who presents kids' programme SMart - is expected to return to a central London police station for further questioning in February.
A post-mortem will take place next week.
