Towie’s Jake Hall set to miss upcoming series following Marbella stabbing?
The 25-year-old is currently unable to fly home and is focusing on his recovery
IT looks like Towie's Jake Hall won’t be back on our screens anytime soon following his recent stabbing in a Marbella night club.
As the rest of the cast get ready to reunite for series 18 of the ITVBe show, producers have confirmed to The Sun Online that Jake, 25, isn’t a part of preparations.
A spokesperson for the reality soap opera tells us: “We are letting Jake focus on his recovery before discussing a return to the series.”
The news comes after we reported how Jake, who is currently recovering from the attack in Marbella, is unable to fly home following doctors orders.
His co-star, Michaell Hassini, tells us: “They’re discussing getting him back to England in the next couple of days but that’s only if he’s able to fly.” With James ‘Arg’ Argent adding: “Jake's still in hospital and he's got to stay there for a month and he's contemplating how to get home."

Amid cast fears following the attack, a show insider revealed to us how producers are increasing security ahead of the new series.
“There’s always security present on site during filming where multiple cast are present,” our source tells us. “But this will be increased during overseas filming for Series 18 and Series 19. A psychologist is always on hand for the cast to speak to, both during filming and non-filming periods too.”
