TOWIE star, Jake Hall, had a heartfelt conversation with his pal just two days before he died. The dad-of-one, 35, has left fans reeling after his heartbreaking death was announced following a ‘tragic accident’ in Majorca.
The reality star, who was on TOWIE from 2015 to 2016, was found dead at a Spanish holiday villa after suffering from head injuries, after it was claimed he’d been partying and decided to head back to the property he was renting in Majorca.
Jake, who was reportedly found in a pool of blood with head wounds caused by shards of glass after the ‘freak accident’, leaves behind daughter, River, whom he shares with Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Missé Beqiri.

After the tragic news was announced, a host of pals have paid tribute to Jake, including his friend, Dan Bulman. Taking to social media, Dan said he’d spoken to Jake just two days before he died. Revealing that the pair had shared a heartfelt chat and spoken about the TOWIE star’s “biggest strength”, he took to Instagram, posting: “It’s incredibly hard to believe he’s gone in a flash, just like that.
“I’d regularly joke with Jake that he was all over the place, in fact we joked about that on the phone two days ago. We joked about it, because it was his biggest strength too. Jake’s ability to balance all his raw creative power together with how personable he was, as demonstrated by the outpouring of love for him, made him nothing short of incredible.”
According to Dan, Jake had huge plans for his future. He continued: “What really gets to me today is how he’d just begun channelling his energy into a plan to bring it to the world properly, a plan I was proud to help formulate with him as a friend.
“And one I believe would have set him on the way to delivering everything he wanted to, which was only ever to make his daughter proud.
“Jake was a fiercely loving and dedicated dad – his daughter was his entire world and as a father myself, the fact they’ve been separated too early is devastating.”
Dan added: “If there’s a message I think Jake would want to leave behind, it would be this: in a world that constantly tells us we should be in a box, or stay in a lane we didn’t choose, find a place you belong and are accepted for everything you are, even if that’s just within you.”
Announcing that he was going to add the “manifesto” the pair co-wrote for what was supposed to be Jake’s next chapter to Instagram, he continued: “Whilst it was never meant to be seen in this form, it feels fitting for it to sit here now as a tribute to Jake’s greatness.
“Rest in peace, Jake. You don’t understand now, but later, you will.”
Dan then followed up with some poignant quotes that they had both written together, as part of their next project. One read: “You didn’t lose yourself. You built something out of all of it. Something that doesn’t have a simple label, because, like you, it was never meant to.”
Jake died after he smashed into a glass door and suffered an injury to his head, according to reports. The tragic incident happened after he had been out partying with friends.
Police were called to the property in Santa Margalida, in the north of Majorca at 7:30am local time. The investigation, which is being carried out by the Civil Guard, is ongoing.
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.”
