Her son, Ben, posted the announcement on her WitWitWoo Facebook page. He wrote: "I regret to announce that my beautiful mother passed away peacefully in St Thomas' Hospital, London on Monday.

"She was taken ill last Wednesday and, although we thought she was on the mend, she had a stroke in the early hours of Sunday morning.

"Words can't describe the love we have felt from people that knew her, we are so grateful and it is a testament to the character she was.

"My heart is well and truly broken, as is Dexter's and the rest of the family."

"Let's all have a G+T and a toast to my mum, Kate." - Ben wrote on the post

He continued: "She was the one person who always had my back, who would put me first and would do anything for me. I was so proud to have a mum as strong, confident, kind and loving as her and I'm not sure how we are going to cope without her.

"She had so much life to live, but I know that she really enjoyed life over the last few years and loved being able to share her life with her followers.

"Everything I do, I will do to make her proud and support my little brother the best I can.

"We are so gutted, but we know that mum would want us to carry on and continue to be strong, happy and kind as she was.

"Let's all have a G+T and a toast to my mum, Kate."

On her blog page, Ms Sutton wrote that she started WitWitWoo in 2010, after graduating university as a mature student. She wrote: "It gave me an outlet to continue to do what I studied, and what I loved, writing. I’d go as far as to say it changed my life.

"WitWitWoo is about me and, occasionally, my small, but perfectly formed family. No two days are the same in my world, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

"The blog follows my life, so whatever I happen to be doing at that time, I’ll blog about it."

A GoFundMe page was set up to help raise money for funeral costs and has now reached more than £9,000, smashing the target of £3,000.
