Misse Beqiri, mother of Jake Hall's child, releases statement as TOWIE star dies aged 35

The former partner of Jake Hall, and mother of his child, Misse Beqiri, has spoken out amid reports that the TOWIE star has died in an accident in Spain.

Reports broke earlier today, 7 May, stating that Hall had died aged 35 after an accident.

Beqiri has confirmed the TOWIE star's 'devastating loss', with reports stating that he was found at a holiday villa in Santa Margalida, Mallorca.

Hall and Beqiri share a child, River, who is eight years old.

A spokesperson for Beqiri, a model and fellow reality star, released the following statement to Tyla after reports broke of Hall's death: "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.”

Beqiri and Hall were engaged in 2018 after River was born in November of 2017, announcing the engagement in a post on Instagram of the pair on holiday with the caption: "I do. Rest of my life with you." They split up not long after, unfollowing each other on social media.

The model, and star of The Real Housewives of Cheshire, served Hall with a restraining order later that year for 28 days, however he was not arrested or charged with any criminal offences.

The final video posted by Hall before his death on Instagram showed him dancing with their daughter and painting in Mallorca.

Hall's caption said: "Life is b*llocks sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things - looking through things - I’m just making art - in many forms."

Blue musician Antony Costa commented: "sad 😞 what a lovely bloke you were mate R.I.P."

An FCDO spokesperson told LADbible Group: "We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities."

Hall's death is set to be investigated by the Spanish Civil Guard, with a police source telling The Daily Star that they are investigating a 'theory' that Hall had died after hitting his head against a glass door, but added: "It is still too early to say definitely what happened."

His autopsy is set to be conducted in Mallorca.

ITV, who air TOWIE, said in a statement to LADbible: "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."
