Towie’s Yazmin Oukhellou spotted cosying up to new boyfriend as she moves on two years after ex Jake McLean’s death
YAZMIN Oukhellou has been spotted cosying up to her new boyfriend two years after ex Jake McLean’s death.
The former Towie star, 30, and Jake were involved in a car crash in Turkey in 2022.
Tragically Jake lost his life in the accident, which also left Yazmin seriously injured.
Two years on Yazmin has been snapped with her new mystery boyfriend on holiday in Barcelona.
The stunning reality star looked incredible in a black bikini this week while soaking up the sun with the unidentified male.
He and Yazmin appeared close and at one point they were seen going in for a kiss.
The couple later took a break from sunbathing to hit the shops.
Speaking to The Sun after the harrowing accident in Bodrum in 2022, Yazmin revealed she was forced to break her own arm to escape the wreckage of the car.
She said: “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.”
In my head I told myself, ‘OK, he’s just unconscious, I’m alive so he must be alive’.
“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.
“So I somehow snapped my arm through pure adrenaline and panic. I climbed out of the car, and I was kind of holding my arm together with my left hand.”
In January last year we told how Yazmin had quit Towie six years after joining the show.
An insider at the time told us: “Yaz has decided to step away from the next series of Towie and focus on recovering from the trauma of what she has been through over the last year.
“She needed a break after everything to process what’s happened, so she has decided to leave the show and will not be in the next series.”
