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.

George Gilbey fell to his death just three years after losing his stepfatherA man has been arrested in connection with the death of Gogglebox star George Gilbey, who fell to his death at a warehouse where he was working yesterday.

Police confirmed that George fell and sustained an injury at around 10am on Wednesday. Despite ambulance crews and air ambulances rushing to the scene, the Gogglebox star did not survive. George's sudden death comes less than three years after his step-father Pete McGarry died from bowel cancer aged 71.

'My heart is in absolute pieces,' she wrote on Thursday. 'You will be missed so much, no words can explain the kind and gentle heart you showed to all you loved and cared for, thank you for everything, rest in eternal paradise brother.' 'Always lit up the room, cared for others & the memories we made I'll cherish for ever brother. From CBB to speaking to you last week, I'm going to hugely miss you ma boiii! Love you GG.'

On his LinkedIn, the former star said that he worked for his electrical firm WindG, where he conducted electrical testing for commissioning, maintenance and fault finding. He included in his LinkedIn entry: ‘I recognise the importance of the Health, Safety and Environmental matters which play a vital role in delivering projects successfully.’

Speaking to The Sun, they said the loss of the father-of-one would hit his family hard, especially his mother Linda given it is so close to the passing of her husband. Known to his friends as Squeaky George because of his high-pitched voice, the Essex native charmed viewers with his jocular attitude and his loving relationship with his mother Linda McGarry and step-father Pete.

Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook wrote: 'Gone too soon. Good night, my darling friend George. I'm absolutely gutted xxx.' Five years after appearing on CBB, George was jailed for three years for drink driving. He was arrested after petrol station staff smelled alcohol on him.
