George Gilbey's family EXCEED fundraising target after receiving a sudden rush of donations for Gogglebox star's funeral


Generous members of the public hurried to donate for his funeral, which is yet to be confirmed, after the GoFundMe page struggled to reach its £5,000 target.

Browning also shared a series of photos, among them an image of Gilbey holding one of the two TV BAFTA Awards won by Gogglebox after being named Best Reality and Constructed Factual show in 2014 and 2022. Meanwhile fellow TV personality Ricci Guarnaccio, who entered the Big Brother house the same year, wrote: 'Breaks my heart but George Gilbey you are well and truly going to be missed my friend.
