Twin brothers Billy Smith and Joe Smith, stars of the British TLC reality show 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', were found dead together in a suspected suicide . They were 32.
The bodies were discovered in woodland in an isolated lane near a farm in Sevenoaks, Kent, according to media reports.
They are believed to have taken their own lives in a joint suicide, The Sun quoted sources as saying.
The siblings featured in the third series of 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', which described them as Romani gypsies, when they were 24 and working as gardeners.
Family, friends and members of travelling community have paid tribute to the siblings on social media.
Billy's partner, Kristina Davey, wrote on social media, "Hardest day of my life. RIP my perfect Bill, you were so pure so lovely. You made me the happiest girl - did everything for me, showed me love I never had. You always see stuff like this but you just never think it'll happen to you," according to The Mirror.
A Kent resident Jane Chippendale told The Mirror that Bill and Joe, the father of a young son and daughter, worked for their uncle's landscaping company and had recently stayed at her house for almost two months because there was no room at a local B&B.
She said she last saw them a month ago when they moved out, telling her they were going to live at an aunt's house, shortly after they returned from a trip to Thailand, the newspaper reported.
