A man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the death of Gogglebox star George Gilbey after a fall at work, Essex Police has said.
Gilbey reportedly died following an accident at work on Wednesday.
The force said it was called to an incident in Shoebury in Southend-on-Sea, where a man had died after falling from a height.
An Essex Police statement said: "As part of our ongoing investigation into the death of a man in Campfield Road, Shoebury, we have arrested a man in their 40s from the Witham area on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
"This is a joint investigation with the Health and Safety Executive and our inquiries are ongoing."
Forty-year-old reality star Gilbey was best known for appearing on the Channel 4 series Gogglebox, where participants watch and comment on TV shows from the previous week. He starred alongside his mother, Linda McGarry, and his stepfather, Pete McGarry. Pete McGarry died aged 71 in 2021.
Gilbey also appeared on the 14th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, reaching the final.
A Gogglebox spokesperson previously said: "George was part of the Gogglebox family for eight series alongside his mum Linda and stepdad Pete.
"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Linda and George's family and friends at this very sad time. The family have asked for privacy."
