Two stars of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding have been named locally as the twin brothers who were found dead together in a suspected double suicide pact.
The bodies of the 32-year-old siblings, named locally as Bill and Joe Smith , were discovered in a tree in an isolated country lane in Sevenoaks, Kent, just days after Christmas, The Mirror has reported.
Heartbroken family, friends and members of the UK's travelling community have paid tribute to the fathers, with one writing on Facebook: "The love they had for one another. They couldn't live with out one another."
Another wrote: "Depression is rife among our folk."
A third added: "Born together and left the earth together."
Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty described it as a "terrible, terrible" tragedy and asked fans to say a pray for the family left behind.
Paddy Doherty pays tribute:
He said: "There is always worse than yourself. Would you ever pray for the poor family and help them to get strong and to get through this? I am very, very sorry for their troubles. May God look after them and may God have mercy on them.
"Very sorry for all your troubles. Don't forget a prayer for the poor family."
