In the blog, they said: "We discussed the loss of her friend Nell, which she was unaware of up to this morning. Needless to say, these details and thoughts are Freya's and it is for her to decide in the future what, if anything, she shares with others.

"Freya's response to all of this information has been incredible, beyond any words. Her strength is phenomenal and inspiring."
