Sitting in an outdoor area abroad in Marrakech, Yazmin posed for the camera and captioned her post: “This break is just what I needed! 🙏Finally starting to feel a little bit normal ☀️👙💦Thanks so much to @marrkech.concierge for the best concierge service in Marrakech!

"Don’t give up, don’t get discouraged. Take each day 1 step at a time. Just try to be in a better place mentally, emotionally and spiritually than you were yesterday.
"I’ve come back to my second home after what I’ve been through and tried to centre myself. When those days hit me where I feel like giving up, I practice gratitude and give thanks to even the smallest of things and it really does help. Love Yaz."
A source told The Sun: "Yaz has gone away with a best friend for a few days to try and take her mind off everything that’s happened."
In the immediate aftermath of the horror crash, Yaz desperately tried to wake 33-year-old Jake while attempting to honk the horn for attention.
She broke her own arm to escape the car and scrambled to get help.
