Gogglebox stars have paid tribute to George Gilbey following the tragic news that the former cast member had passed away aged 40.<\/p>\n

Gilbey appeared on the show alongside his mum Linda and late stepfather Pete McGarry between 2013 and 2014, and then again from 2016 until 2018, while he also starred in the fourteenth series of\u00a0Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.<\/p>\n

His sudden death was announced yesterday (Wednesday 27th March), following a workplace accident.<\/p>\n

The official Gogglebox social media account was quick to pay tribute to Gilbey, writing on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter): \u201cGeorge was part of the Gogglebox family for eight series alongside his mum Linda and stepdad Pete.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts and deepest condolences are with Linda and George\u2019s family and friends at this very sad time. The family have asked for privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
