TOWIE fans pray for Yazmin Oukhellou after crash that killed ex Jake McLean

Fans and friends are praying for TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou after she was seriously injured in a horror crash in Turkey that killed her ex Jake McLean.

The reality TV star, 28, is reportedly in intensive care after the smash, with sources saying the car left the road and went on the side of a cliff.

Fans have rushed to wish Yazmin well on her Instagram, with many commenting on her latest post on the social media platform.

The post, which is a paid ad, shows the star wearing a black evening outfit and high heels, as well as a Chanel bag, with the picture being like more than 11,000 times.

A third person penned: "Speedy recovery, get well soon, so sorry about Jake," while fourth wrote: "I hope you get out of this the other side," followed by a heart emoji.

Another user said: "You will pull through this girl xxx"

Many others commented that they were praying for her and sending their love.

Jake, 33, who has also dated TOWIE alumni Lauren Goodger, is understood to have been driving when he lost control of the car in Bodrum.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but they were unable to save Jake. Yazmin was taken to hospital.

The Sun has reported a source said: "Apparently Jake was driving when he lost control of the car and it went off a cliff."

Yazmin has had an on/off relationship with Jake, hooking up with him about a month after she split from TOWIE's James Lock.

She left the UK for Dubai with Jake a year after their relationship began, with them confirming their romance with a series of snaps in December last year, as the enjoyed a loved-up date night.

It soon turned sour though with Yazmin being left "devastated" when Jake was seen leaving a nightclub with another Towie star, Ellie Jones.

Yazmin told her followers on Instagram that they had broken up and it is believed that she had reconciled with James Lock, after they were seen having lunch together at an Essex restaurant.

This comes a month after Yazmin revealed that she had fractured her ankle but it hadn't stopped her partying in Dubai, in May.

She posted a photo of her injured ankle strapped up as she was forced to use crutches to help her get around the United Arab Emirates city.

Despite the injury and her lack of mobility, Yazmin continued to party in the Middle East as she soldiered on while on holiday and provided updates for her 672,000 Instagram followers by uploading photos and videos on her stories.
