Denise Van Outen has expressed her profound sorrow following the tragic death of her TOWIE co-star Jake Hall at the age of 35. Hall passed away after a freak accident at a holiday villa in Majorca, where he smashed into a glass door. Police were called to the property and are investigating the incident.
Tributes from the TOWIE Family
Van Outen, who has narrated TOWIE since its inception in 2010, described Hall as "so lovely" and "so friendly and so talented." She said, "I've worked on the show since it started and with any loss within our TOWIE family it is heartbreaking. But he was so lovely whenever I saw him out." She added, "I really feel for his family, my thoughts go out to them, and it is just really sad and he was way too young to go."
Many of Hall's former castmates have paid tribute on social media, including Georgia Harrison and Tommy Mallet. TOWIE bosses released a statement saying, "Jake was a part of the TOWIE family for a number of years and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today's very sad news."
Details of the Accident
Reports indicate that Hall was found in a pool of blood after smashing into a glass door following a night of partying with friends. Officers were called to an address in Santa Margalida at 7:30am local time. Six people have been questioned as part of the ongoing investigation.
Hall joined the TOWIE cast in 2015 and was known for his relationship with Chloe Lewis. He later dated Misse Beqiri, with whom he had a daughter, River, in 2017. After their split, he focused on his fashion labels.
Emotional Tributes from Co-Stars
Vas Morgan posted a heartfelt Instagram message, writing, "35 years old is far too young. Jake had so much more life to live. This is an incredible loss and my heart is breaking for his baby girl River, his parents, his brother Sonny and the rest of the family." He added, "The friendship most of you saw between Jake and I on TOWIE was just a snippet of what we had been through together. He was so talented. I truly don't think the world had even seen half of what his mind was capable of."
Tommy Mallett said, "The only thing weirder than us was our relationship & that's what made it special. You inspired me to start my first brand & give me inspiration to start all over again when I see you do it… See you on the other side too buff."
Hall's former partner, Misse Beqiri, stated through her representatives, "At this time, Misse's focus is on supporting and protecting their child as they come to terms with this devastating loss. The family are asking for privacy, compassion and respect while they grieve privately."
