Katy Clifton30 December 2019

Paddy Doherty has led tributes to "unbelievable" twin brothers found dead in a suspected joint suicide who have been named as My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding stars.

The 32-year-old siblings have been named locally as Billy and Joe Smith after they were found dead close to a farm in Sevenoaks.

The brothers, who starred in the third series of the TV show, were found in Dibden Lane just before midday on Saturday, just days after Christmas.

Kent Police said the circumstances were not being treated as suspicious.

Doherty, who also starred on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and won Celebrity Big Brother, shared a picture of the twins on Facebook and called them "unbelievable" in a video shared online.

He said: "They were two good looking boys and it is a terrible tragedy. Pray for the boy's family, for his mother and father.

"I'm very sorry for their troubles from the bottom of my heart.

"May god look after them, may god have mercy on them, they are two angels, harmless, they were unbelievable."
