TOWIE star Jake Hall dies aged 35 after 'horrific accident at holiday villa'

TOWIE star Jake Hall has been found dead with fatal head injuries at a Spanish holiday villa.

The 35-year-old former reality star - who has a daughter with model Misse Beqiri - was found in Santa Margalida, Majorca on Wednesday morning after a night out partying.

The designer, who was previously “stabbed” at a nightclub, is thought to have smashed his head through a glass door.

A source told The Sun: “Witnesses told investigators he had been out partying all night and decided to carry on the party back at the place he was renting.”

Four men and two women staying at the house are thought to have been questioned.

They reportedly told officers they had been out in the evening and continued partying after returning to the villa in the early hours.

Officers were called to the villa in the north of the holiday island at around 7.30am on Wednesday morning.

A police source said: “We are focusing on the theory the victim died in a tragic accident after hitting his head against the glass door but it is still too early to say definitely what happened.”

No arrests are thought to have been been made as inquiries continue. An autopsy is due to take place in the Majorcan capital Palma.

An ongoing investigation is being led by the Spanish Civil Guard. The Standard has contacted Hall’s representative for comment.

A slew of celebrities paid tribute to Hall on social media.

Blue singer Anthony Costa wrote, “So sad. What a lovely bloke you were mate R.I.P,” and US stylist Kyle De Volle commented with a series of broken heart emojis.

Model and influencer Roxie Nafousi penned: “Jake :( you were such a sweet soul, I always loved our catch ups. I know things weren’t always easy for you but you never gave up and you really loved your little girl more than anything in the world. This is so devastating. Keep dancing up in heaven. Rest in peace.”

Hall - who shared eight-year-old daughter River with his on-off partner Beqiri - had a second home in Mallorca that he often used as a base for work and leisure.

An FCDO spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities”

Hours before he died, he shared an Instagram video of himself painting, strolling around the Spanish streets and hanging out with River.

He set the clip to the Rolling Stones song Beast of Burden and captioned it: “Life is b******s sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things – ️ looking through things – I’m just making art – in many forms.”

Hall’s death comes a decade after he was reportedly stabbed at a nightclub.

He was believed to have been attacked during a night out with friends at the Aqwa Mist club in Puerto Banus in the south of Spain.

During the fight, witnesses claimed they saw men grabbing for broken glass from champagne bottles and the shisha pipes they had been smoking on.

The TV personality, then 24, was taken to hospital by his friends. He was stabbed in his right side and his kidney was affected, according to reports.

He shared a photo of himself lying in hospital after the incident and told fans: "Thank you so much for everyone's amazing support and getting me through this.

“I'm getting better thank to everyone. Can't get rid of me that easily."

Hall also posted a video of himself taking his first steps in hospital after the incident, writing: “Today was best feeling in world being able to have a little walk.”

His ex-girlfriend, TOWIE star Chloe Lewis shared her support at the time, writing: “I will always care for you even if we aren't together... & even if we are far away from each other.”

Hall and Beqiri got engaged in 2018 but he was hit with a restraining order later that year.

Beqiri, who was formerly on The Real Housewives of Chesire, reportedly split with Hall after a series of tense arguments.

Hall shot to fame on TOWIE in 2015, where he dated Lewis on and off. He quit the ITV reality show in 2024.

His clothing brand Prevu went into liquidation and he later launched the new clothing venture, By Jake Hall.
