Jordan Wright, 33, from Basildon, appeared on The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) in 2018 and on Ex on the Beach in 2017.

Fellow Towie personality Chloe Brockett posted "rest in peace Jordan" on Instagram, a message also repeated by ex-Love Island contestant Chloe Crowhurst.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities."

In the weeks before his death, Wright had shared videos on Instagram which showed him scuba diving and riding motorbikes in Phuket.

Other reality television personalities shared their tributes to him in the comments section of his latest post.

Liam "Gatsby" Blackwell, once of Towie, wrote "miss you already brother," while Ex on the Beach's Brandon Myers said: "Lost for words bro. Amazing memories with you mate."

The BBC has contacted police in Thailand for more information about Wright's death.
