Speaking at the Women's Football Awards, Denise told the Daily Mail: 'I’ve worked on the show since it started and with any loss within our TOWIE family it is heartbreaking. But he was so lovely whenever I saw him out and he was so friendly and so talented.

‘I really feel for his family, my thoughts go out to them, and it is just really sad and he was way too young to go. I do wonder what TOWIE will do, I think they’ll do a tribute as they’ve lost a few people recently. I was just really really shocked when I saw it.’
