Reports have been posted on social media of the death of celebrity, nightclub owner, property developer and businessman Mick Norcross.

Police and emergency services have been at his Bulphan home in Thurrock.

Earlier today Mr Norcross posted on his Twitter account: "At the end remind yourself that you did the best you could. And that is good enough."

The Essex businessman became nationally known in the early series of the TV fly-on-the-wall docu-soap The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) which also featured his son Kirk. He has another son Daniel.

Mr Norcross grew up in the Woodside area of Grays. He attended St Thomas Primary and then St Cedd's in South Ockendon.

He worked in his family firm before branching out with a number of business enterprises, which included the Sugar Hut Nightclub in Brentwood.
