TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou feeling 'a bit normal' on holiday after horror car crash

The Only Way Is Essex star Yazmin Oukhellou has said she is "starting to feel a little bit normal" after relaxing on a luxury holiday in Marrakech.

The 28-year-old has been soaking up the sun in Morocco at the five-star Sofitel Marrakech Lounge and Spa hotel this week. She has recently opened up about the terrible flashbacks she has been suffering since the horror crash in July, which killed her on-off boyfriend Jake McLean.

Yazmin suffered serious injuries in the crash and has said she has begun her healing process after the tragic accident in Turkey last month. She posted a positive update on her Instagram account to her 738,000 followers on Friday, which read: "This break is just what I needed! Finally starting to feel a little bit normal."

Good friend Junaid Ahmed, who joined her on the trip and on the hit ITV2 reality show, replied: "Thank you for the best time. You have been through so much & deserve all the happiness in the world. You’ve got this girl."

In the Instagram post, Yazmin looked classy in a black and white Dior print swimsuit and matching handbag as she posed for the camera with a drink in her hand with a silver teapot and biscuit on the table in front of her. She later took to her Instagram Stories where her and Junaid enjoyed the the food, drink and entertainment at the Epicurien restaurant.

Yazmin also thanked her fans for their support as she continues to deal with the tragic events from last month. She wrote: "Thank you to each and every one of you for your kind messages. So many of you happy to see me getting back to normal life and that really means so much.

"This trip has definitely been an escape from my reality and I feel so lucky to have been able to take this time away.

"Healing never stops and those you in similar situations will know that some days you'll feel normal and some days you'll fell like the pain is fresh and that's okay.

"Take your time and do whatever feels right for you. Love Yaz."

Earlier in the week, Yazmin had been pictured baring the scar on her arm for the first time after she was forced to snap it to flee the horror car crash which killed Jake. She was spotted without her right arm in a cast while by the pool on Thursday.
