BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Kerri-Anne Donaldson was found dead at home just three days after she was arrested on suspicion of a sexual offence, an inquest heard.

The dancer, 38, reached the semi-final of the ITV show in 2014 as part of the group Kings and Queens.

An inquest heard today that Kerri-Anne was arrested on June 4, 2023, and questioned at a police station about a “sexual” offence, which she denied.

She was discovered dead at home in Farnborough, Hampshire, three days later by her sister Cara Donaldson.

There was a note at the top of the stairs urging her sister not to come inside and photos of her dog and family were also discovered.

The song “You are so Beautiful” was also playing when Kerri-Anne was found, the inquest heard.Moment driver sends teen flying after smashing into him while chatting to pal

The court was told Kerri-Anne’s cause of death was given as hanging.

A post mortem also found she had non-fatal levels of medication in her blood, which were consistent with an overdose.

The inquest heard following her release from custody, Kerri-Anne failed to return home – causing her family to report her as a missing person.

She was later found at a Travelodge hotel in Woking, Surrey, after taking an overdose.

Cara said her sister told an emergency doctor at St Peter’s Hospital in Surrey that she had wanted to kill herself.

Recalling the tragic statement, she continued: “I just wanted to hug her.”

Cara told the inquest when she drove Kerri-Anne home on June 6, the dancer said she had made the decision to take her own life when she left the police station.

She claimed the family had not been given any care plan or advice on how to assist the star when they left the hospital.

Cara also said she asked her sister about the allegation and was told she was not guilty and that it had “all been constructed”.

She said she spent the evening with her sister and was reluctant to leave her alone, saying: “If you do anything, Kerri, that will always be on my shoulders.”

Cara continued: “[Kerri-Anne] joked ‘I am not going to do that’, so I left.

“One of the last messages was ‘Thanks for everything today’ and she gave a heart emoji, I just thought she was OK.”

But when Kerri-Anne did not answer the phone the next morning, Cara went round to her home and discovered her dead.

Describing her sister, she said: “Heart of gold, full of fun, brought happiness to life, especially mine, career-driven, adored her family, adored her friends, fantastic dance teacher, everyone loved her.”

She said Kerri-Anne had been on television a few times and added: “Her main passion was to choreograph dancing.”

The Kings and Queens Latin dance troupe were a big hit with BGT fans, making it all the way to the semi-final of the ITV show.
