The Only Way Is Essex star Jordan Wright left just £10,760 when he was found dead in a drainage ditch in Thailand.

The TV favourite, 33, had not made a will, it has been revealed.

Wright, ex-boyfriend of fellow reality TV star Vicky Pattison, was found dead on the party isle of Phuket, Thailand seven months ago.

His probate documents were issued by the High Court of Justice last Wednesday before being made public today.

The value of Wright’s estate was £31,247 but £10,760 after deductions.

His estimated wealth had previously been reported as being between £50,000 and £150,000.

Neville Wright was named as the administrator, while documents also confirmed that Jordan died without making a valid will.

Wright died on March 14, eight days after posting online, ‘I’m Home’ and a Thai flag, adding: ‘Featuring the best bath I’ve ever taken.’

Wright, from Basildon in Essex, was on TOWIE in 2018, having appeared the previous year on Ex On The Beach.

The TV star dated Pattison – who hit fame on Geordie Shore – in 2016.

Wright had only just moved to Thailand when he died.

Tributes were led by his TOWIE co-stars after his tragedy, with Ferne McCann saying: ‘Rip Jordan really sad news.

‘You and your family will be in my prayers.’

Chloe Brockett said: ‘Rest in peace Jordan.’

Former firefighter Wright was not related to fellow former Towie stars Mark, Jessica and Carol despite sharing the same surname.

Police said in March this year the body of a British man had been discovered in stagnant water by a Burmese worker close to Bang Tao Beach, Phuket.

CCTV captured him running around erratically before his death. He was said to have been found lying face down in a water ditch, wearing a grey shirt and black trousers, but was barefoot.

Officials said the body appeared to have been there for some time, but there did not seem to be any sign of physical assault.

His new iPhone 17 was thought to have been found on a nearby bank, while his pocket contained a hotel key card for Hotel COCO Phuket Bangtao, about a 20-minute walk away from where he was found.

Detectives said there were no signs of forced entry or disturbance at the hotel.

On Wright’s LinkedIn profile he was listed as the director of London-based company Hampton Gate Wealth, a ’boutique introducer focusing on alternative fixed income strategies for qualified investors’.

He appears to have spent several weeks in Thailand prior to his death, with social media referring to his ‘new life’ in the country amid videos showing him riding motorbikes, enjoying time on the beach and engaging in martial arts training.

A final post, dated March 6, showed a photograph of Jordan relaxing with a glass of wine in an infinity pool, alongside videos of him on boat trips, posing with a motorbike, scuba diving and eating local cuisine against the scenic landscape.

His former manager Alex Shafiq told the Daily Mail after the death that Jordan was a ‘fun lad’ who ‘lit up any room with his smile’.

He said: ‘I’m a good judge of character and I knew Jordan was a great person from the moment I met him.

‘He was a very good looking lad, with a great, wide smile. He tried TV for a bit but DJing was his real passion, that’s what he wanted to focus on.’

Close friend and DJ Stuart Hart said: ‘Jordan was a really lovely boy, always happy and fun to be around, always supportive, whether it was coming to my gigs or DJing at my parties, he was always up for a good time. [He was] one of the good ones.’
