Yazmin Oukhellou haunted by nightmares and sleeps in same bed as mum after horror crash

Yazmin Oukhellou has revealed that she now sleeps in bed with her mum every night following the horror crash which tragically killed her boyfriend, Jake McLean.

The TOWIE star, 28, has been haunted with traumatising nightmares following the tragic crash.

The traumatised reality TV star recently revealed that she was forced to break her arm to escape the horror crash which saw their Mercedes flip over while the pair were on holiday together in Bodrum, Turkey.

Yazmin is now recovering at home in Essex surrounded by her loving and supportive family, however, she is still struggling with horrific flashbacks since the life-changing accident which killed Jake, 33, at the scene.

Speaking to The Sun, the brave star revealed: "I have nightmares every single night since the accident.

“I have not stopped waking up in the night about it. Mum stays in bed with me every night.”

It comes after Yazmin admitted that she thought Jake was 'just unconscious' following the car crash.

She had fallen asleep in the car as she returned from partying with her friends in Turkey.

She told The Sun : "We were just tumbling for what seemed like forever. It felt like I was going round in a washing machine — just round and round. Then eventually it stopped and my right arm was jammed.

"The car was upside down. It had an open sunroof and my right arm was just stuck behind my back and under the folded back of the car roof.

"I tried to honk the horn with my foot and I couldn’t do."

Yazmin said she could feel her arm covered in blood due to the crash opening an artery and thought that she had to break her arm or she could bleed to death.

But at the same time she was trying to wake Jake up due to thinking he must just be unconscious due to surviving the traumatic crash herself.

The star said she didn't want to admit that her boyfriend could be dead.

Yazmin described that she ran up the bank from where they crashed and tried to find someone who could help.

She saw a flashlight from a passerby who was walking their dog who then ran over to their aid.

The man took his top off for Yazmin to wrap around her arm but she just wanted them to help Jake.

Yazmin climbed back into the car to check Jake's pulse but she couldn't find one and then the ambulance arrived.

She was told Jake needed to be taken to a different hospital to her but the 33-year-old was declared dead while she was taken to hospital.
