TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou ‘learning to live’ with boyfriend’s death after horror crash

Reality telly star Yazmin Oukhellou has confessed she’s “learning to live” with the death of Jake McLean after a fatal crash killed her on-again-off-again boyfriend.

The TOWIE star, 28, suffered serious injuries in the crash and has taken to a wellness retreat in Marrakech to begin her healing process.

She’s since been holidaying in Morocco with her mum Lisa and dad Hamid, as she tries to heal two months after the tragic accident in Bodrum, Turkey.

The telly personality has only been there a week and has already praised her life coaches for turning her life around.

She wrote on Instagram : "Honestly cannot thank you both enough for being my rocks since my accident.

"You two are such a blessing and have completely changed my outlook on life this past week.

"I’ve learnt so much about myself and can honestly say for the first time in a long time that I am proud of me.

"I never thought I’d start back my retreats in Marrakech @wellnessretreatworldwide but I cannot wait to share my story and help so many of you as I can.

"For any of you who are struggling right now please just know that nothing lasts.

"You will never forget what you have been through but you will learn to live with it.

"And know that it’s okay to have shit days and then good days. It’s normal.

"Something that has helped me so much is just changing my daily habits. Start small.

"Write down three things you are grateful for this morning. And let me know how you get on. Love Yaz."

Yazmin and Jake were involved in the fatal crash on July 3. Jake was killed when his blue Mercedes E class saloon crashed in Bodrum.

Yazmin was left with serious injuries after she had to break her own arm to escape the wreckage.

The crash took place in the early hours of the morning and investigators have said the car hurtled around 70 feet over a left turn bend and landed in a ravine almost 30 feet below.

Jake was pronounced dead at the scene while Yazmin was rushed to hospital, where she underwent treatment for her injured arm.

After the crash, Yazmin managed to stop a passing motorist for help. She has since said she is still coping with post traumatic stress following her return to the UK.
