Chantel was a talented dancer and performed in musicals including the Paris production of 42nd Street.
She had also featured in the UK tour of The Greatest Showman and worked as an entertainer on cruise ships.
The 34-year-old lived in Widnes, Cheshire, and taught dance and singing in recent years.
Shortly before her trag1c d3@th, Chantel started working in a supermarket and was a teaching assistant.

“Chantel was a talent second to none who was the life and soul of every party.”
Close pal Katy Glover previously paid tribute to her and said: “She was such a whirlwind, the life and soul of the party and such a bundle of life.
“She lived and breathed glamour and showbiz and she was a fantastic tap dancer, she did a number of Britain’s Got Talent which she loved, and she kept telling everyone.
“Chantel said she’d had a brilliant time and treated it as another audition because she was so professional, and she was so determined.
“She also taught Anton Du Beke tap as well because tap was her life, she was the best tapper out there.
“She was incredible, one of a kind, sparkly and loving and loyal.
“She sang and danced but tap was her niche, and she loved all the glitz and glam.
“42nd Street was her favourite musical, and she was delighted to be part of it, and it was one of the highlights of her career. She just lived to perform.”
