One of the victims of the tragic Leicester City helicopter crash which killed five people was Nusara Suknamai, a former Miss Thailand Universe competitor.

Originally from Bangkok, Suknamai, 33, was on board the aircraft with Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Also in the helicopter were pilot Eric Swaffer who was with girlfriend Izabela Roza Lechowicz, also a pilot.

Kaveporn Punpare, who is a member of Srivaddhanaprabha's staff along with Suknamai, also passed away in the tragedy.

Suknamai's Instagram page includes snaps with several Leicester players including England internationals Harry Maguire and Jamie Vardy.

She also has a picture with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and England boss Gareth Southgate.

On Friday, Suknamai posted pictures of herself posing on Chelsea's famous Kings Road.

Suknamai was a contestant in the 2005 Miss Thailand Universe competition, finishing as runner-up. She was crowned Miss Intercontinental Thailand.

She was on board the helicopter when it collected Srivaddhanaprabha and the other passengers as normal following Leicester's Premier League game against West Ham .

But the aircraft encountered problems shortly after take-off having reached a height of around 200 feet.

It crashed into the tarmac close to the stadium and was quickly engulfed in flames, tragically killing all five people on board.
