My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding twins in ‘double suicide’
TWINS who starred in My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding have been found dead in woodland in a suspected double suicide.
Police were called to a remote country lane after a walker discovered the bodies of Billy and Joe Smith, 32.
Last night Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty led tributes to the landscape gardeners who first appeared on the Channel 4 reality show in 2013.
He said: “RIP please pray for these two dear souls. May God look after them, may God have mercy on them, they are two angels, harmless.”
The twins’ family had expressed concern over their health.
Billy’s heartbroken partner Kristina Davey said: “Hardest day of my life. RIP my perfect Bill, you were so pure so lovely.
“You made me the happiest girl – did everything for me, showed me love I never had. I’m gonna make you so proud my Bill, my life, my angel.”
At a wedding earlier this month the brothers recorded a video as they sang and danced to Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You.
In one episode of Gypsy Wedding Billy and Joe were filmed working near their home in Kent.
They discussed their traveller lifestyle before getting married. The show even followed them on a trip to the holiday isle of Tenerife.
Facebook was full of tributes to the twins. One said: “Two young boys came in to the world together and left the world to heaven together sleep tight angels.
“Male depression really is as strong as any other and it should be made as aware as any other.
“They should feel like they can speak up like any other person.”
Police were called to a country lane just outside Sevenoaks, Kent, on Saturday morning.
A Kent Police spokesman said enquiries are ongoing but the deaths are not currently being treated as suspicious.
The mens’ next of kin are being kept updated.
You made me the happiest girl. I’ll make you so proud, my Bill, my life, my angel
