A BRIDE-to-be has tragically died after she used the wrong spoon to stir her tea, just days after she got engaged. Jess Prinsloo, 24, is believed to have died as a result of her acute dairy allergy while on a romantic holiday in South Africa with her partner Craig McKinnon, also 24.

The marketing executive from Salisbury, Wiltshire, said yes and the pair celebrated for a number of days before they travelled to her mum’s house in Johannesburg on December 30. She came into contact with diary and went into anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction where the throat closes up and Jess sadly died the following day in hospital. Craig wrote a heartbreaking post on social media: “It’s difficult to find clarity in today, the worst day of my life. “But a point I have never been clearer on, the 3+ years I got with my Jess are irreplaceable, and I wouldn’t trade them for 60 years with any other person on earth. “I am devastated, and feeling pain like I’ve never felt before, but anyone that spent time in her company knows what I mean when I say I have been blessed to call her my fiancée [for] the greatest three days of my life.” The couple met in 2019 while they were at university and moved in together in 2021. While Jess had many members of her family in South Africa she had not been back for six year and Craig said he knew there was no better place to propose. He told the Mirror: “The look on her face… it meant everything.”
