The Only Way Is Essex star Liam Gatsby has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his late pal Jake McLean following his tragic death.
The reality TV star, 33, is reported to have been driving when he 'lost control' of the car, which left the road and went over a cliff while his ex-girlfriend, Yazmin Oukhellou was in the passenger seat.
Yazmin, 28, had been receiving treatment in intensive care at a hospital in Turkey as she was seriously injured in the horror crash in Bodrum.
Thankfully, Yazmin's representatives confirmed on Monday that the reality TV star is in a 'stable condition' after undergoing surgery following the tragic crash.
Following the news of Jake's tragic death, his former TOWIE co-star Liam Gatsy has taken to Instagram to pay tribute to his beloved friend.
Liam shared a number of throwback snaps on his Instagram stories from years gone by with his late friend, Jake.
The reality TV star penned: "RIP my brother. You was one of the most realest and genuine.
"You're gonna be missed by a lot of people you handsome fella.
"Poolhouse turnouts were the one. Love ya bro. Man like Jake McLean."
The heartfelt tribute comes as Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey has reportedly been left “completely shaken” following the death of her ex-boyfriend Jake.
The boyfriend of TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou, 33, is said to have been driving near Bohrum in Türkiye, when he 'lost control' of a vehicle the couple were in and was sadly unable to be saved by emergency services.
Actress Chelsee, 33, dated Jake in 2020 but remained friends after they struggled to make a long-distance relationship work.
A source told the Sun: “The news has understandably left Chelsee completely shaken.
“She knew Jake for a long time before they started seeing each other and things only ended because they lived too far apart.
“It’s obviously tragic news and Chelsee sends her condolences to all his family and friends.”
Jake previously dated co-star Lauren Goodger on and off from 2012 until around 2016. She is currently pregnant with her second child.
On Monday, Lauren released a statement following Jake's tragic death as she admitted that she 'had no words' to describe her shock and sadness as she sent love to Jake's devastated family.
