Details of the star’s estate have been revealed following his death.
Tragic ITV star Jordan Wright was almost penniless at the time of his death in March this year. Although the 33-year-old reality star had not made a will, his probate documents were issued by the High Court of Justice on Wednesday (October 7). The TOWIE star, who was the ex-boyfriend of Strictly Come Dancing 2025 contestant Vicky Pattison, left an estate of just £10,760. It was originally valued ar £31,247 but ended up less than £11,000 following deductions.
His father Neville Wright was named as the administrator of the estate. This final figure was well below previous estimations of his wealth, which put it at between £50,000 and £150,000.
Jordan died in a drainage canal near Bang Tao Beach in Phuket, Thailand. His body was found in stagnant water, reportedly lying face down at around 12.30pm on Saturday, March 14, by a passerby who contacted the police.
Ahead of his death, CCTV captured him running around “looking restless” outside of a nearby hotel. The Crime Asia Facebook page shared details that he was identified as a 33-year-old British national.
It is understood that he was discovered lying face down in the canal in a grey shirt and black trousers without any shoes on. A keycard for the Coco Phuket Bangtao Hotel was found in his pocket with his iPhone 17 nearby on the canal bank.
Investigators said there were no signs of physical assault or a struggle. His body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy.

Police searched his hotel and found nothing suspicious. Police chief Sutthirak Chuthong said in a statement: “The guest was identified as Mr Jordan Wright, a British national, whom the hotel had been unable to contact.
“A search of the room revealed no signs of forced entry or other irregularities.” The chief added: “Hotel records showed that he had checked in alone and was due to check out on March 13, but staff reported that he never checked out.
“CCTV footage showed that he appeared restless and was moving back and forth in front of the hotel before leaving the area. His movements eventually led to the location where his body was later discovered.”
His final social media post, dated March 6, showed an image of the reality star enjoying a glass of wine in an infinity pool in Thailand, alongside snaps from boat trips, scuba diving, and motorbike riding.
Before finding TV fame, Jordan had joined the fire brigade at 19 years old and worked in the service for six years before resigning to pursue reality show stardom.
After his stints on Ex on the Beach and TOWIE, he openly admitted to feeling “hugely unfulfilled, stagnant, and lost” by the reality TV lifestyle.
Following the tragedy, his former manager, Alex Shafiq, told the Daily Mail: “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.”
