Jake McLean’s overturned car pictured in Turkey as Lauren Goodger seen for first time since he died

Dramatic photos have emerged of rescue crews at the scene of a fatal Turkey car crash that killed TOWIE star Lauren Goodger’s ex-boyfriend Jake McLean and left his on-off partner Yazmin Oukhellou seriously hurt.

Photos and video shows the car he is believed to have been driving near the tourist city of Bodrum, on the Aegean Sea, laying on its roof in darkness on Sunday night amidst knee-high grass. 

The front and rear doors of the car are open and one of its front headlights is on, with the left-turn indicator flashing. Emergency crews are standing nearby using torches to peer inside.

Jake, 33, rose to fame while dating Lauren, 35, from 2012 until 2016 as she appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother.

The mother-of-one, who is currently expecting her second child with partner Charles Drury, looked emotional as she was spotted for the first time since Jake’s death – with friends said she is ‘devastated’. 

Meanwhile Jake’s mother, Sheila McLean, tearfully paid tribute to her son from her home in east London today – telling MailOnline: ‘Jake was a lovely boy… We’re all so upset.’

Yazmin, 28, also famous for her appearances on TOWIE, is believed to be recovering in hospital after suffering injuries to one of her arms.

Jake and Yazmin are thought to have got together in May last year before she revealed their relationship on Instagram in December in a clip that showed the pair kissing.

But she split from him just a month later after he was reportedly caught ‘acting single’ while on a holiday in Dubai and leaving a club alone with Love Island ex Ellie Jones.

The pair were still thought to be split up when the crash happened on Sunday. Friends say they are unsure what the pair were doing together in Turkey, but may have been there to sign some kind of business deal. 

A source told MailOnline: ‘It’s a complete tragedy and a total loss of life. Everyone is in shock and hoping Yazmin makes a full recovery.’

Pals close to Lauren told MailOnline the pregnant mother-of-one has been left ‘devastated’ by Jake’s untimely passing. 

Speaking to The Sun another source added: ‘Apparently Jake was driving when he lost control of the car and it went off a cliff.’

MailOnline has contacted TOWIE and Yazmin’s representatives for further comment.

The Sun reported that Jake was in Turkey for a business deal, and Yazmin had joined him in the tourist resort of Bodrum in recent days. 

Sources have told the publication that Yazmin has suffered ‘extremely serious’ damage to her arm in the crash. 

A show source said: ‘We’re crossing our fingers and praying she makes a full recovery quickly. It’s beyond shocking, just devastating for everyone connected to the show.

‘Jake and Yaz are both very well known in our circles, and while he wasn’t a saint this is just unbelievably tragic. Everyone is stunned.’

Another cast member said: ‘Nobody is quite sure what they were doing out there, we thought they’d split up, but apparently he was involved in some sort of business deal.

‘But whatever’s gone on this is just heart-breaking. It sounds very, very serious, perhaps life-changing.’

Jake was jailed for three-and-a-half years in 2008 after conning his way into a mother’s house and overpowering her before a masked gang ran in and raided the family home. 

He reportedly tricked his way into the property pretending to be an estate agent.

Jake, who was 18 at the time, was part of a gang of six. The other five members ran into the home carrying imitation pistols and threatened to kill their victims if they screamed for help.

It is believed he only served half of his sentence and had been in prison for other convictions since. In 2018 he shared Instagram posts showing himself wearing a leg tag.

In 2013, Lauren, who met her former lover via Twitter, admitted she was aware of Jake’s criminal convictions but was willing to oversee his wrongdoings.

She said: ‘Jake told me about his past. I could see how much he regretted his actions. I try to take people as I find them.’

Lauren is due to give birth any day now, as she awaits the arrival of her second child with partner Charles Drury.

Yazmin and Jake have been dating on and off since May 2021, after the TOWIE star called quits on her long-term relationship with TOWIE co-star James Lock, 35.

Yazmin, 26, moved to Dubai last year to be with Jake after leaving ITV show TOWIE.

But the reality favourite ended her romance with Jake in January after discovering he had been unfaithful with former Love Island contestant Ellie Jones.

Sources close to Yazmin say her relationship with Jake was ‘pretty toxic at times’.

It is unknown when the pair reconciled and the reason for them being in Turkey, with Yazmin last sharing a photo of herself in London on Tuesday.

This year, Yazmin was set to make her return to TOWIE after filming with the cast in the Dominican Republic.

She had shared photos alongside co-star Harry Derbidge, 28, from the Caribbean in June.

According to her Instagram, Yazmin finished filming for TOWIE in the Dominican Republic, and headed on holiday to Ibiza, where she posed in her bikini at O Beach.

While they had been dating for a year, Yazmin didn’t confirm her romance with Jake until December 2021.

She took to Instagram to make things official with a photo of her and Jake cuddling together in Dubai, but covering his face with a heart eyed emoji.

Yazmin captioned the snap: ‘We’ve been through more than most. Had our ups & downs but I wouldn’t have us any other way.’

The pair previously dated briefly in 2019, before rekindling their relationship after Yazmin split from James Lock.
