Jake McLean's pals torn over 'lies in his memory' as his family fight for truth

Jake McLean's devastated friends are divided after the TOWIE star's tragic death in Turkey on Sunday.

The 33-year-old lost his life after being in a car crash with on-off girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou, 28, when he is thought to have lost control of the vehicle.

It was claimed the former couple had a blazing row at a nightclub, shortly before the car crash as they were working on rebuilding their relationship.

Now pal Georgia Harrison, 27, who said Jake asked her to join him in Turkey recently, wants to set the record straight after she hinted at dark forces at play over his memory.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "At the end of the day a lot of what is being said is lies and those who actually know him and what went on in the lead up, what's going on currently (what's really going on) are hurting.

"I've always been a speaker of truth and I won't be scared to do so in this case throughout.

"The worl'd's full of bulls*****s sticking up for bulls******s and it's time people wake up to reality mate."

She then added: "Me and so many others just wanted the best for Jake. He was cheeky with the ladies and everyone knows it, but he was funny, caring and kind.

"To those 'friends' and 'sources' leaking your bulls**t, let him live in peaceful truth cause the more you lie the more proof's gonna shut you down and it's not a battle you wanna start engaging in - trust me."

A police official at the station told MailOnline: "As per Turkish legal procedures, we will meet with Jake's mother and take a statement from her. We have had a brief conversation with her and as you can imagine, she's devastated.

"We need some details from her about Jake and his state of mind in the days leading up to the crash. We don't want to add to her anguish and understand the difficult time she is going through."

Yazmin's mother Lisa is reportedly also in the country to see her daughter, who remains in hospital.

When contacted, Yaz's representatives said: "Yazmin is stable and recovering in hospital after surgery. Yazmin and her family have requested privacy at this time."

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, and are said to be working on the premise that Jake careened off the road by accident - causing the car to tumble down a steep embankment before landing on its roof.
