Heartbroken Wolverhampton TV presenter Mark Speight has embarked on a new project to raise money in memory of his fiancee, who died in the bath after taking cocaine.

The children’s art project will be called Teabags and Biscuits after the items well-wishers brought him after Natasha Collins’ death. Her mother Carmen revealed details of the plan, which they hope will be complete by the end of the year.

Proceeds will go to a trust set up in the name of the actress.

Mrs Collins, who has welcomed 42-year-old Speight into her home as they come to terms with their loss, said it was thought the money would go towards a children’s charity.

“It’s still early days yet but Natasha and Mark loved children so that is where we would like the money to go,” she said.

Mrs Collins, who has welcomed 42-year-old Speight into her home as they come to terms with their loss, said it was thought the money would go towards a children’s charity.

“It’s still early days yet but Natasha and Mark loved children so that is where we would like the money to go,” she said.Miss Collins, 31, was found dead in a bath of hot water on January 3 at the London home she shared with Speight, who fronted children’s art show SMart until resigning recently.

The pair had taken cocaine and drunk alcohol the night before, and Miss Collins fell unconscious in the bath with the hot tap running, causing her to suffer 60 per cent burns, while Speight slept on unaware.

A coroner last week ruled death by misadventure. Mrs Collins revealed how Speight, a former pupil of Tettenhall College and Regis School who grew up in Tettenhall, had lived with her in Palmers Green, North London, since the tragedy.

She said: “Mark came round the night she died. He was broken. He could barely stand and said: ‘Do you mind if I stay tonight?’ He’s been with me ever since. He can’t ever go back to the flat.”

She said Speight, who was cleared of any involvement in the tragedy, was shattered by the death of his “soulmate”.

“Sometimes at night I hear him crying,” she said. “I just feel so awful for him. He even cries in his sleep.”
