George Gilbey - known for his appearances on Channel 4's Gogglebox - sadly died at age 40 after falling from a height at his workplace earlier this week
TV star George Gilbey was reportedly "not very steady on his feet" before he fell 80 feet through a skylight and died on Wednesday, 27 March. A man was later arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter but has now been released.
Friends later said 40-year-old George scaled the roof at the Essex warehouse without a harness, as those nearby pleaded with him to come down. He then tumbled 80 feet through a skylight onto the floor below. Essex Police later released a statement on the status of their case, which read: “As part of our ongoing investigation into the death of a man in Campfield Road, Shoebury, on Wednesday 27 March, a man aged in his 40s from the Witham area was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
George rose to fame on Channel 4's Gogglebox from 2013 until 2014, appearing on the show alongside his mum Linda and stepdad Pete McGarry. He then went onto compete on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Gary Busey, Leslie Jordan, Stephanie Pratt and James Jordan. He came in fourth place, before returning to Gogglebox for two years in 2016.
