The authorities have apparently gathered security camera footage in an attempt to piece together exactly what happened to Jordan.

Authorities are said to have visited his hotel to gather information and review footage from the security cameras.

Before confirming his identity, a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Jordan dated TV personality and former Geordie Shore star Vicky for four months in 2016.

The couple even lived together, although Vicky kept the short-lived romance on the down low.

During an episode of Loose Women, Vicky insisted that she was “single”.

Her fling with Jordan fizzled out soon after. He was spotted out on a date with another woman, cementing his romance with Vicky as being over.

The following year, Jordan appeared in MTV’s Ex On The Beach.

Jordan went on the star in The Only Way Is Essex in 2018. During his time on the ITVBe show, he made a play for Courtney Green.

Jordan was axed from TOWIE by ITV after 17 episodes.

He later returned to his real job as a firefighter in London. More recently, Jordan had been trying to build a career in financial investment.
