Jake Hall, TOWIE Cast Member, Has Died Aged 35

Reality star Jake Hall, best known for his stint as a cast member on The Only Way Is Essex, has died at the age of 35.

On Thursday morning, The Sun reported that Jake had been found dead at a villa in Majorca, where he’d been on holiday with friends, by the police.

A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) told the tabloid: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Long-time TOWIE fans will best remember Jake for his time spent in the cast of the long-running ITV reality show, beginning in 2015 and lasting three seasons before he stepped down.

During his tenure on TOWIE, his storylines largely revolved around his romance with former co-star Chloe Lewis, as well as his friendships with the likes of Tommy Mallet, James Lock and James “Arg” Argent.

Since bowing out of The Only Way Is Essex in 2016, Jake had pursued numerous creative ventures, including heading up the fashion brands Prevu and By Jake Hall.

He was also an aspiring artist and musician, and had been creating music as part of the group Yours Collective prior to his death.

Jake is survived by his daughter, River, who was born in November 2017.

In The Sun’s piece, it was noted that Jake and River’s mother, the Albanian model Misse Beqiri, had been in an on-off relationship for many years.

The former couple had previously announced their engagement in 2018, but things ended acrimoniously, resulting in Misse taking out a restraining order against Jake in 2019.
