Mick Norcross, who starred in the long-running ITV reality series The Only Way Is Essex, has died at the age of 57.
Norcross was reportedly pronounced dead by police, who were called to his house on Thursday. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Norcross featured in the second season of The Only Way Is Essex, affectionately known as Towie, in 2011 and went on to appear in 53 episodes in total. He was an important figure on the Essex scene, having owned nightclub The Sugar Hut. His son, Kirk Norcross, was part of the original Towie cast.
Towie stars paid tribute to Norcross on social media. Gemma Collins said:

Remember when The Only Way is Essex was all about sporting the very best Vajazzle in Brentwood, Amy Child's cousin constantly saying "shuuuuut up", and that impenetrable love triangle between Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger and Lucy Mecklenburgh?
As the glam-tastic reality TV show celebrates its fifth anniversary, here's what happened to the original cast members:
Mark Wright
Muscle-bound Mark Wright was mostly muddled over whether he wanted to go out with childhood sweetheart Lauren Goodger or Essex rival Lucy Mecklenburg in the debut series of Towie.
He swaggered out of the show and into the night in series 3, never to be seen again... Until he was eating buffalo balls in the jungle a month later for his successful stint on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - leaving as runner-up to winner McFly bassist Dougie Poynter.

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off last night and as always, people across the nation were scratching their heads in confusion. Austin Armacost? Farrah Abraham? Nope. But CBB has a grand tradition of sticking in non-celebrities in the house and passing them off as famous faces...
1. Katia Ivanova - Celebrity Big Brother 7
An early example of a housemate famous more for a former romance (Ronnie Wood) than any actual career. Even after Katia's brief fling with fellow housemate Basshunter, she's still not well-known enough for her own Wikipedia page.
2. Bobby Sabel - Celebrity Big Brother 8
Ironically, this model pulled off the street as a last-minute replacement is now well-remembered - every time a new series starts, someone gets dubbed 'the new Bobby Sabel'. His biggest moment was making Darryn Lyons drink his sweat - lovely chap.

She's cried wolf about leaving The Only Way Is Essex before - and, on occasion, cried literally on the show - but Gemma Collins has now confirmed she's quitting Towie for good after four solid years.
Well, we weren't going to let The Gc go without a fitting send-off. Here's our celebration of her best bits - Towie just won't be the same again.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Norcross explains how he broke his hand in three places after punching the wall in frustration, but denies reports that he was suspended from the show.

Cami Li compared Perez Hilton to "'80s porn - bad, but you can't take your eyes off it" following her shock eviction from last night's Celebrity Big Brother (February 2).
The Miami model was nominated alongside Keith Chegwin, Perez Hilton and Katie Price in the show's shock twist which saw her leave the house on Monday night..
Cami Li also criticised former housemate Nadia Sawalha for being "consumed by Perez's energy", and was cynical as to whether the Loose Women panelist had still liked the showbiz blogger towards the end of her time in the house.
Speaking to Digital Spy and others about her sudden exit, she revealed: "It was expected. I thought I was going to be next to go. We all know Perez's arse ain't going."
On whether she was surprised that the public had kept her in for so long, she joked: "Yeah, They're a tortured bunch.

Hooray, Celebrity Big Brother is back!
And bikini-clad model housemates Cami Li and Chloe Goodman are currently chasing a giggling Keith Chegwin around the bathroom as we type.
Last night's instalment saw the celebrity contestants - including Patsy Kensit, Katie Hopkins and Perez Hilton - getting to know each other while supping free-flowing champagne and settling into their humble Elstree abode.
And most didn't hold back on their introductions, flirtations, criticisms and unleashing of too much personal information.
We've picked some of the funniest, most memorable and, in some cases, most frankly disgusting lines from the new housemates below:

"Perez needs to go for a wee. And he's calling it pee pee. Which makes me wonder what he calls his penis. Because it's probably winkie."

Yes, Cami Li seems to be Celebrity Big Brother's 2015 female answer to Bobby Sabel (we'll never let it go).
We don't know who she is or whether she just stumbled into Borehamwood by mistake - but hey, she's in the house now.
And let's hope she ends up less like Bobby and more like last year's Us import Jasmine Waltz - trapped in a steamy and compelling love triangle between Calum Best and Keith Chegwin(!) So here's a (very brief) introduction to Cami Li...

We have our housemates! 14 stupid brave celebrities walked through the doors of the Celebrity Big Brother compound tonight to face a twisted fairytale like no other.
But who are these courageous souls who have shunned spa days and champers for a dirty bath and chickpeas? And do you know any of them? Well, we've got all the details of the gang, so read on for everything you need to know...
Alexander O'Neal
Age: 61
Give me the basics. Alexander is an American R&B singer probably best known for his hit 'Criticise', which reached number four in the UK charts in 1987.
Why is he going in the house? For one thing, he likes "challenges", apparently. Also, he loves us Brits: "Britain pretty much told the rest of the world who Alexander O'Neal was before anybody really knew." (He speaks about himself in the third person quite regularly, it seems.) Also: "It's a test for me,...

Gary Lineker's brother has joined the cast of The Only Way is Essex, Digital Spy can reveal.
Wayne Lineker, who was jailed for two and a half years in 2006 after admitting a £220,000 tax fraud and was also declared bankrupt last year, is scheduled to make his first appearance in the ITV2 show's Marbella special next month.
"He's like the father figure," a show insider said. "If he goes down well on the show, maybe his family could visit."
The 50-year-old owns the Linekers chain of bars in foreign party locations such as Ibiza, Tenerife and Zante, and is opening a venue in Essex that producers hope will become the new Sugar Hut.
Danni Park-Dempsey, Billi Mucklow and Darrell Privett have all left Towie in a further shake-up of the cast.

The reality star was one of the founding members of the cast when the show started in 2010 but he has now said that if he could make the decision again, he would not choose to join the programme or experience the fame that comes with it.
