Lauren Goodger has spoken out after the funeral of her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean.
The former TOWIE star shared snaps from the farewell ceremony held at St Thomas of Canterbury church in Essex earlier today.
“Today was special,” she penned alongside a picture of Jake’s funeral brochure.
The front of the booklet read “celebrating the life of Jake Robert McLean, always in our hearts,” alongside a picture of Jake in a van.
“His smile and energy would light up anyone’s day, to know Jake was to love him, a true legend, may he rest in peace,” a tribute read on cover.
Lauren then shared an emotional slideshow video made up of old archived pictures of the pair together, all to the song My All by Mariah Carey.
The lyrics “I’d give me all to have just one more night with you” play over several snaps from their Instagram and paper clippings from over the years.
Lauren and James Argent led the grieving stars arriving at Jake’s funeral earlier today following his tragic death aged just 33 in Turkey last month.
She previously dated Jake for four years and put on a brave face as she walked to the service, just weeks after she also lost her second daughter Lorena shortly after giving birth.
As Lauren arrived, her swollen black eye was visible after she was allegedly attacked on the day of Lorena's funeral on August 4.
Her partner Charles Drury, 25, was arrested on suspicion of assault and has since been bailed.
Charles denies the alleged attack as he told The Sun: "There's a completely different side to stuff."
Dressed in white, the TV personality leant on the support of friends, while Arg arrived with fellow TOWIE star Liam Gatsby.
Rained poured down as the funeral procession, which was escorted by supercars and expensive luxury vehicles, made its way to the church.
Floral tributes and a large Lamborghini emblem adorned the hearse carrying Jake's body, with mourners gathering outside the chapel ahead of the service.
Jake was on holiday with his on-off girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou when their Mercedes car overturned after plunging 30ft into a ditch on Sunday, July 3.
Jake tragically died at the scene, while Yazmin, 28, had to break her arm to free herself from the crumpled vehicle and call for help.
She was later taken to hospital where she needed surgery for her injuries.
"It was lay there and bleed to death, or snap my own arm to try to save us," she recalled to The Sun.
"I didn’t want to admit it to myself that he could be dead. So I thought, ‘Right, I can either lay still and bleed to death, or snap my own arm to try to save us — I had no choice."
Yazmin then spotted a man walking his dog who assisted her with her injuries as they returned to the car to try save Jake.
"I climbed back down and tried to check his pulse but I couldn’t feel anything and then the ambulance came," she remembers.
Sadly, Jake was declared dead at the scene as Yazmin was rushed to a nearby hospital.
