Tributes have already been paid to Harry on social media.
One person posted: “What a sad day. RIP Harry Savage. One of the most beautiful souls on this earth. Rest well sweet angel.”
Another person posted: “I am lost for words. Such a beautiful soul… one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the privilege to know.”
Harry previously appeared on Channel 4‘s show The Hunted in 2019.
Harry was aged 20 at the time and was a drama student.
Earlier this year, a reality TV star won in a bitter court fight against his millionaire life coach uncle over a £1m family farm and campsite.
Frank Savage, 28, the last contestant to survive in the 2019 Channel 4 reality adventure series ‘Hunted’, has been locked in the inheritance row.
Frank’s mother had died weeks before the show was recorded, while his father had died years before.
Backed by his brother and other siblings, Frank has been fighting his millionaire uncle over the family inheritance – Pleasant Rise Farm, in Sussex.
Ownership of the farm is now shared between Frank, his three siblings, and their 76-year-old uncle Ray Savage.
The farm has been in the Savage family for three generations and is home to a popular campsite.
Ray – a former police detective and life coach – wanted the prime 76-acre site close to the Sussex coast sold to the highest bidder in the wake of his split from wife Vanessa in 2015.
But Frank sued him, adamant that the farm should stay in the family.
Now Frank has won victory in London’s Court of Appeal after a top judge ruled that a previous decision to hand control of the farm to Ray was wrong.
Frank was a star contestant in the 2019 finale of Hunted – in which 14 ordinary people have to go on the run for nearly a month while eluding a team of expert sleuths and trackers.
