TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou is said to be “stable” in hospital after undergoing surgery following the fatal car crash which claimed the life of her on-off boyfriend Jake McLean.
It is believed that Yazmin was left in a critical condition fighting for her life in intensive care after their vehicle “left the road” and “went off a cliff” in Bodrum, Turkey.
The 33-year-old, who previously dated Dancing On Ice star Lauren Goodger, is said to have lost control of their car – with Yasmin, 28, thought to have been passenger in the vessel too.

Yazmin ditched her Essex life and headed to sunnier climates with Jake as they started life as a fresh couple in Dubai – after she’d split from co-star James Lock.
Jake and TV star Yazmin had briefly dated with the couple confirming their relationship last December – sharing a picture of themselves lapping up a lavish date night together in Dubai.
