The former Hollyoaks actor admitted he is in “total shock” after it was revealed that the Celebrity Big Brother star – real name Colin Newell – died this week aged 43 or 47 depending on the source.
He tweeted:
‘My good friend nooooo! I am in total shock…… this is too much to actually take in right now.
‘Love you brother. Sleep well with the angels… You will never be forgotten you absolute gorgeous man #RIPHeavyD #Booom (sic)’.
Before landing a place in the ‘CBB’ house in 2016, Heavy D first found TV fame on Storage Hunters, and dubbed himself ‘The Boominator’ due to his celebratory “boom” catchphrase when he landed a good storage unit.
A number of his Celebrity Big Brother housemates have taken to social media to pay their respects.
Stephen Bear shared a picture of them both together on the show, alongside a praying hands and heart emoji.
Meanwhile, Chloe Khan tweeted:
‘I can’t believe what I have just read. I feel really saddened and weird.
‘I got his twitter updates often and he seemed so full of life. Rest peacefully @HeavyHeavyd.
‘I don’t even know what to write I just feel weird… life is a strange path. SendingLove to his family (sic)’.

Following his appearance on ‘Big Brother’ – on which he featured alongside the likes of Katie Waissel, Samantha Fox and Lewis Bloor – Heavy worked as a boxing pundit but made an appearance on ITV’s Judge Rinder in 2018 over a dispute about his London flat.
His ex Bryony Anne Harris – who fell pregnant with their baby during a whirlwind romance in 2017 – also wrote:
‘I loved this man we argued we hated each other but we had love at one point and a beautiful daughter.
‘Rest in peace you silly thing! Now time to myself please guys no messages.(sic)’.
Heavy’s friend Nick Nevern posted the tragic news on Wednesday (25.11.20).
He tweeted:
‘I’m very shocked & saddened to hear of the passing of my friend @HeavyHeavyd ‘u lived ur life the way u wanted to & f**k anyone who didn’t like it! U always brought a smile to my face bro & lifted any room you where in. (sic)’.
