Popular TV personality, George Gilbey who rose to fame on Gogglebox in 2013, has tragically died. He fell to his death in a horror accident at work in Shoebury, Southend-on-Sea, yesterday morning.

Family members have paid tribute to 'kind and gentle' Gogglebox star George Gilbey following his sudden death on Wednesday morning.

Browning also shared a series of photos, among them an image of Gilbey holding one of the two TV BAFTA Awards won by Gogglebox after being named Best Reality and Constructed Factual show in 2014 and 2022. He wasn't seen on TV again after being convicted of trying to strangle the mother of his child, and a prison sentence for drink driving appeared to seal the end of his Gogglebox career.

They said: 'Nobody deserves this to happen so young - 40 is no age. He had started going to the gym and working very hard to do well for his family.'She is incredibly emotional. George was like her little treasure. Known to his friends as Squeaky George because of his high-pitched voice, Gilbey became popular for his sense of humour and the obvious bond he shared with his parents.

The unlikely womaniser had spent the early part of the series charming Made in Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt, even sharing a kiss with the American and discussing whether they would be each other's 'back-up plan' in case they hadn't met anyone else in five years time. However, even as early as then cracks were beginning to appear, with Gilbey admitting that he had blown most of his CBB earnings by gambling, even losing £12,000 in one night at a casino.

But he remained busy while off screen, returning to his career as an electrician and kindling up a romance with Gemma Conway, who he would go onto have a daughter called Amelie with in 2016.George Gilbey is pictured on Celebrity Big Brother. He made the final in the fourteenth series
