Essex Police responded to a call in Shoeburyness near Southend-on-Sea on Wednesday following reports of a fall involving a man working at height.

Gilbey, identified as a self-employed electrician, tragically passed away at the scene.

Authorities have taken into custody a man in his 40s under suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, as stated by a spokesperson. They emphasized that this investigation is being conducted jointly with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and inquiries are currently ongoing.

An incident occurred at EGL Homecare, a manufacturing business located on Campfield Road, where a solitary bouquet of flowers was observed next to the entrance gates on Thursday morning.

Gilbey, who was featured in eight series of Channel 4’s Gogglebox alongside his mother and stepfather from 2013 to 2018, also made an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.

The reality star participated in the Channel 5 contest alongside various celebrities, including The Hills star Stephanie Pratt and American actor Gary Busey, who emerged as the winner of the series.

Channel 4’s Gogglebox expressed their condolences through their official account, stating: “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Linda, and George’s family and friends during this sorrowful time.”

According to LinkedIn, Gilbey operated his own enterprise, WindG Ltd, located in Clacton-on-Sea.

Ricci Guarnaccio, a former Geordie Shore cast member who was also on Celebrity Big Brother with Gilbey, mentioned that he had a conversation with his friend just last week. He expressed his feelings by saying, “You will be greatly missed, my friend. You always brought light to the room, showed care for others, and the memories we created together will hold a special place in my heart forever.”

Ian Wyatt, a radio presenter, had numerous interactions with Gilbey at events and conveyed to BBC Essex: “Gilbey was extremely approachable and likable – you could reach out to him on his mobile anytime without hesitation… he didn’t show any sign of being overly protective about such matters.”

A representative from the HSE stated: “We acknowledge the incident and are collaborating with Essex Police in their inquiry.”

Authorities mentioned that the individual under arrest hailed from the Witham region of Essex, promising to share further updates “actively.”

The unexpected passing of this vibrant soul has left a void in the hearts of many. Their wit, humor, and genuine presence on the show captured the hearts of viewers across the nation. As we mourn their untimely departure, let’s also celebrate the joy and laughter they brought into our lives. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, dear star – you will always hold a special place in our memories.
