I sleep with mum every night because of nightmares about car crash that killed Jake, says Towie star Yazmin Oukhellou

DEVASTATED Towie star Yazmin Oukhellou says she sleeps in bed with her mum every night due to nightmares over the car crash that killed her boyfriend Jake McLean.

The 28-year-old told The Sun she had to break her arm to escape the wreckage of their Mercedes after the smash in Bodrum, Turkey, just over two weeks ago.

Yazmin is now recovering at home in Essex, but said she is struggling with flashbacks since the accident.

Jake, 33, died at the scene.

In an exclusive interview from her home, Yazmin said: “I have nightmares every single night since the accident.

“I have not stopped waking up in the night about it. Mum stays in bed with me every night.”

Yazmin is waiting on news from doctors about her injured arm, which she has been told is likely to need surgery.

On Saturday, The Sun told how the reality star snapped the bone herself to escape the wreckage of the couple’s Mercedes, which fell 70 foot from a cliff.

Yazmin explained: “They said I might not ever get full movement of my arm ever again.

“I am just hoping for the best and do you know what? I could have been like Jake and not survived, so I am just very grateful that if that is the worst case scenario I will deal with it as best I can. At least I am still alive.”

Yazmin also told how she had been upset by messages posted online by 2017 Love Island contestant Georgia Harrison, 27 — who revealed a text conversation in the days leading up to the crash which showed Jake inviting her to Turkey to visit him.

The pair had previously dated on and off.

Yazmin said: “I think Jake and Georgia have had a sexual relationship on and off. I don’t think they have ever been together. But it was an upsetting thing to read.

“I wish she hadn’t posted them and I’m not sure why she did.

“I guess grief can really hit people though. I don’t want to get into a slanging match at all with anyone else — it’s hard enough coming to terms with it all.”

Yazmin went on to speak of her upset at what she says are false claims about the state of her and Jake’s relationship prior to the crash.

She added: “There are stories that we were arguing. It’s like, ‘How can you say that?’

“There were two people in the car. Unfortunately my partner did not make it, so the only person that people can listen to now is me because I was the only other person there.

“I just don’t want people to think we were arguing.

"We may not have had the picture perfect relationship, but those last moments we had with each other will be the moments I will cherish for the rest of my life. They were the best moments we ever had.”
