LEOMIE Anderson is one of the UK’s leading models and she will be appearing on the thrilling show Celebrity Bear Hunt which lands on February 5, 2025.
The star made headlines in 2018 when her ex-boyfriend Harry Uzoka was fatally stabbed by a fellow model.
Game-changing model
Harry was from Dagenham, East London and was raised by his mother, who had emigrated from Nigeria to the UK.
He served a temporary sentence in juvenile detention for robbing a cash delivery van but reportedly did well in school and was well liked in his community.
In 2010, he met with Patrick Egbon-Marshall, an agent known for matching models with fashion houses including Burberry and Alexander McQueen.
Patrick recalled that Harry was “really shy” when they met, but Harry’s modelling quickly took off.
By the age of 21, he had been named one of England’s hottest models by Paper Magazine and was walking in London Fashion Week.
He also dated Leomie Anderson, one of the UK’s leading models who regularly worked with top designer brands.
Harry’s tragic murder
By 2018, he had risen to the top of the modelling industry.
However, on January 13 that year, Harry was stabbed to death by a fellow model named George Koh.
Koh had been arrested in his youth for drug possession and for assaulting two police officers but had eventually become a model.
Harry and Koh regularly crossed paths at shoots and were often in competition for the same roles.
A group, composed of Harry and several other black models, formed to support each other and to create better opportunities for themselves.
They named themselves Justanorm.
However, as Harry’s star continued to rise, Koh became increasingly jealous.
He claimed to have slept with Harry’s then-girlfriend Ruby Campbell which led to the pair agreeing to meet in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, for a fight.
Harry arrived with a set of barbells but was stabbed three times by Koh.
Koh was arrested, alongside his two accomplices, and was handed a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years behind bars.
Leomie took to Instagram to express her sadness at her ex-boyfriend’s death.
She said: “I’m not even ready for this and I still don’t accept it.
“He wasn’t just my ex-boyfriend, he was one of my oldest and dearest friends.
“He didn’t deserve this and I’m heartbroken.”
She added: “You are love and light and I just can’t believe this.”

Leomie will be appearing on Holly Willoughby’s Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt.
She will join 11 other celebrities, including Danny Cipriani and Shirley Ballas, as they try to escape SAS veteran Bear Grylls.
