The 28-year-old had reportedly been in intensive care since the tragic crash, with sources saying that the car left the road and went over the side of cliff.

Jake, 33, who has also dated Towie star Lauren Goodger, is understood to have been driving when he lost control of the car in Bodrum.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but they were unable to save Jake while Yazmin was rushed to hospital.
