Mark Speight leaves only £5,000

CBBC presenter didn’t create a will

Mark Speight was cleared of any involvement in Natasha Collins' death

Mark Speight left an estate of less than £5,000.

The CBBC presenter, 42, committed suicide near Paddington station in April after the death of his fiancée Natasha Collins, 31, in January.

She died in a scalding bath after a drugs binge at their home in St John’s Wood, north London.

As Mark did not have a will, his estate goes to his property developer dad Oliver.

Natasha, whose death was ruled an accident by a coroner, left £81,000 in a trust for Mark and her family.
