TOWIE's Gemma Collins said "my heart will never be the same" as the show's stars paid tribute to Harry Derbidge's ex-boyfriend Rhys Alan Smith.
Rhys was found dead in Tenerife, where he lived, last week.
Gemma, who forged a close relationship with Rhys over the years, paid tribute to him on Instagram, the Mirror reports.
She commented on the last picture he had posted: "My heart will never be the same I won’t ever be the same love you Reece"
Gemma's ex James 'Arg' Argent added his own tribute on his Instagram stories, sharing a photo and writing: "RIP Rhys. A lovely human being & the most beautiful person inside and out."
Rhys was recently been the subject of a storyline between Harry and Bobby Norris on the ITVBe reality show.
The couple were together in 2013 before the make-up artist started dating Bobby.
Harry - now engaged to Dean Rowland - later admitted he had cheated on Bobby at the beginning of their romance with Rhys.
Recently, they came face to face on screen once more, with Bobby demanding answers about what happened back then.
Bobby announced he was quitting the reality programme following the showdown.
