Sad news from Thailand as former TOWIE star Jordan Wright, 33, has tragically passed away. Jordan, who rose to fame on the reality TV show, was found dead in a drainage canal near Bang Tao Beach in Phuket. He had moved to Thailand just months earlier for a fresh start.
CCTV captured him looking unsettled outside a hotel in Phuket on March 14, the same day he was discovered. Passers-by alerted local authorities, who found a keycard for Coco Phuket Bangtao Hotel and his phone nearby. The police have found no signs of foul play, and an autopsy will determine the cause of death.
Jordan was known for his charm and fun-loving nature, having appeared in eight episodes of TOWIE before being axed in 2018. He had recently shared snippets of his new life in Thailand on Instagram, with his last post being on March 6.
Heartfelt tributes have been pouring in from friends and fans on social media. Messages express disbelief and sadness, with many reminiscing about good times and fond memories. One friend shared: “Can’t believe what I’m hearing. Rest easy, Jord.”

Rest in peace, Jordan. You will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved you. 🕊️❤️
