Jake Hall's ex Misse Beqiri had heartbreaking realisation about his death when she found out the news
Misse Beqiri has revealed how she found out the devastating news that her former partner and father of her child, Jake Hall, had passed away.
The model and mother-of-one, 39, opened up about the devastating loss that shook the showbiz world last month and said she feels like she is trapped in 'a bad dream'.
She has now explained that she unexpectedly found herself on the Spanish island of Mallorca on the same evening that tragedy struck - and desperately wishes that Hall had got in touch with her.
The Only Way Is Essex star Hall, 35, was tragically found dead at a villa in the holiday hotspot on 6 May.

His body was repatriated to the UK, but a post-mortem examination was unable to determine his cause of death. Hall was laid to rest in Wanstead, London, on 12 June.
Tributes poured in from his former TOWIE cast members, his famous pals, and fans after news of his untimely passing broke. Now, his former girlfriend Beqiri has opened up about her grief.
Beqiri sat down with Paul C Brunson to discuss her turmoil on the We Need To Talk podcast after Hall, who she shares eight-year-old daughter River with, passed away suddenly several weeks ago.
The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star welcomed a little girl with Hall back in November 2017, before they went on to get engaged a year later.
The pair then parted ways shortly after, but maintained a good relationship to co-parent River.
Beqiri explained that prior to the reality TV star's passing, she had been in Ibiza to shoot a magazine cover while her daughter was in the care of Hall's parents.
After wrapping up the photoshoot, the mum realised she had misplaced her passport and was therefore unable to travel back to the UK.
The Swedish-Albanian model told Brunson that officials informed her she would need to head to the Swedish Embassy in Mallorca to get permission to fly.
She told Brunson: "The police in Ibiza said, 'You have to fly to Mallorca to go to the Swedish Embassy'. Otherwise, I couldn't fly into England.
"So, I flew into Mallorca. Then I woke up in the morning, I think it was like 8am, and I had like ten missed calls. So I'm thinking something's happened to River - my heart dropped."
Beqiri explained she had a number of missed calls from Hall's father Greg, who then delivered the tragic news.
She went on: "He was like, 'It's not River, it's Jake'. He was like, 'He's dead'. I went into total panic mode. The first thing I did was, I blamed everything on myself."
Beqiri explained she was left stunned to discover they had been on the same island by pure coincidence - and wishes she could have somehow done something to help Hall.
"I didn't even realise that he was in Mallorca and I was in Mallorca," she continued. "I wasn't supposed to be in Mallorca, but I kind of ended up in Mallorca. So the night he died, I was there.
"Like I was there and I was like...it's just, I don't know. It's just a lot. I was there. I didn't know...like I wish he called me, or I wish he just gave me call like, 'I need you, come help me'.
"I just wish he just called me. I just wish he did something.But he didn't know I was there either."
