George Gilbey had been working on a roof when he fell to his death through a plastic skylight on 27 March, an inquest heard.

The 40-year-old sustained traumatic injuries to his head and torso and died at the scene in Shoeburyness, Essex, the hearing in Chelmsford was told.

He starred in Gogglebox alongside his mother Linda McGarry and stepfather Pete McGarry, who died aged 71 in 2021.

He was also a finalist in the 14th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.

A man, aged in his 40s and from the Witham area of Essex, was previously arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the incident, but he was later released under investigation.

Coroner Mr Brookes said he had received a written request from Essex Police to suspend inquest proceedings pending the outcome of a criminal investigation, and he granted this request.
