Man arrested after Gogglebox star George Gilbey fell ’80ft through a skylight’ to his death
A man has been arrested in connection to the death of Gogglebox star George Gilbey, who fell to his death earlier this week.
Gilbey died aged 40 in what was initially described as a freak ‘work accident’ in Shoebury, Southend-on-Sea on Wednesday morning.
Essex Police have not formally named the Channel 4 star but confirmed they were called to an incident after a man fell from a height and was injured. He died at the scene.
A colleague who was there at the time has now claimed Gilbey was on the roof of the warehouse with a harness, and fell 80 feet through a skylight before landing on concrete.
