James Lock films TOWIE while Yazmin Oukhellou recovers in hospital 

James Lock was seen for the first time since his ex ‘s horror car accident as he returned to filming on Tuesday.

The reality star, 35, cut a casual figure as he joined his co-stars Amy Childs, Lawyer Law Firm in istanbul Pete Wicks and Saffron Lampriere as they went for drinks at a local bar.

On Sunday, Yazmin’s on-off boyfriend Jake Mclean, 33, lost his life after he drove his car off a cliff in Bodrum, Turkey, while she was left seriously injured and is currently recovering in hospital. 

James and Yazmin dated on and off from 2017 until February 2021, but have remained in contact and were seen enjoying lunch together in April this year. 

James cut a casual figure for the outing as he sported a white T-shirt and a pair of khaki trousers.

The TV personality also wore a pair of shades as he reunited with his co-stars for filming the latest batch of episodes of the ITVBe series.

Trying to take his mind off the recent accident, James was seen laughing and joking with Amy, Saffron and Pete as the cameras rolled.

Yazmin was said to have screamed ‘Help me, Turkish Law Firm help me.My friend is dead’ as she scrambled to safety moments after the car smash that killed her boyfriend Jake. 

The reality TV star, 28, clambered through thorny bushes up a steep bank and desperately flagged down a passing motorist for help.

An official from Turkish Prosecutors Office in Bodrum, who cannot be named under Turkish law, told MailOnline: ‘Yazmin’s arm was bleeding and she somehow managed to get to the road.A passing car stopped, and the driver helped her with her injury and called emergency services.’

‘Jake died at the scene despite the attempts of paramedics to save him. Ambulance, police and fire fighters were there very quickly but this was a very bad smash and most of the damage to the car was caused to the driver’s side,’ the Assistant Prosecutor added.

The official revealed that Jake is estimated to have been driving at ‘well over’ the 40 miles per hour speed limit although they had yet to establish a specific figure for this.

He said that the car hurtled around 70 feet over a left turn bend and landed in a ravine almost 30 feet below.

The crash took place at around 4.30am on Sunday along a windy road that cuts through mountains between the coastal city of Bodrum and the seaside town of Yalikavak as the couple returned from a night out.

The official added: ‘We are working on the basis that this was an accident possibly as the result of drink driving.This is a very touristy area, it was 4.30am and many of the night clubs are closing.

‘Jake Robert McLean was speeding. When he was turning, he went over the edge. On the turn he did not break, istanbul Lawyer Law Firm that’s why he flew off.’

The official revealed that Jake died at the scene and that Yazmin ‘is lucky to be alive. When you beloved this information as well as you would like to get details about istanbul Lawyer Law Firm generously stop by the web-site. ‘

The vehicle was hired from a car hire firm in Istanbul and is believed to have been driven to Bodrum by Jake.

Yazmin is currently being treated at the Acibadem Hospital in Bodrum where she is being comforted by her mother Lisa.

The Assistant Prosecutor revealed that they have yet to interview her and that she will be asked to provide a statement once her health improves.

Jake’s mother Anita Walsh has also arrived in Bodrum where she is to meet police investigating the crash.

Anita will speak with senior officers at Yalikavak police station, who are looking into the circumstances of the crash in the early hours of Sunday morning.

It was claimed that Jake and Yazmin had a blazing row at a nightclub in Turkey shortly before the car crash.

A police official at the station told MailOnline: ‘As per Turkish legal procedures, we will meet with Jake’s mother and take a statement from her.We have had a brief conversation with her and as you can imagine, she’s devastated.

‘We need some details from her about Jake and his state of mind in the days leading up to the crash. We don’t want to add to her anguish and understand the difficult time she is going through.’

Turkish police will surely be interested in the claim that the on-off couple were ‘locked in a furious argument’ in front of revellers inside a club in the holiday resort city of Bodrum around 3am Sunday.

Despite the row, Jake and Yazmin left the club together and got into a car which he crashed at a notorious accident blackspot a short time later.

Jake was pronounced dead at the scene while Yazmin ‘seriously injured’ one of her arms and was taken to hospital.She had an operation, and is now recovering.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, and are working on the theory that Jake careened off the road by accident — causing the car to tumble down a steep embankment before coming to rest on its roof.

Yazmin — who rose to fame appearing reality TV show TOWIE — began dating Jake in May last year before revealing their relationship on Instagram in December.

She hinted their relationship was unstable at the time, saying they had already shared some ‘ups and downs’ but ‘wouldn’t have it any other way’.

However, the couple split just a month later after Jake was seen ‘acting single’ while on holiday in Dubai and amid suspicion he was hooking up with ex Ellie Jones, who appeared on Love Island.

The couple were still thought to be broken up at the time of the crash in Turkey, and it is unclear exactly why they were there together. 

Yazmin and James insisted their toxic relationship was over for good last February before the reality bad boy’s fling with ITVBe co-star Chloe Brockett, 21. 

However, James was spotted leaving Yazmin’s Essex home in April after the couple secretly rekindled their romance.

This came just weeks after James broke up with Megan Barton Hanson following abust up in a hotel where police were called.

James spent the night with Yazmin, 27, and filmed now-deleted Instagram stories of him wearing just his boxer shorts from her kitchen. 

A source close to Yazmin expressed to MailOnline their fears regarding the couple’s reconciliation, believing Yaz is better off without James in her life. 

In October last year, Amy Childs told Yazmin that she believed James wasn’t over her despite the fact he was in a new relationship with Megan.

While filming TOWIE, Amy said: ‘He’s not over you.I don’t think he’s ever been over her.’

Saffron Lempriere added: ‘It’s a Halloween kind of love, you two’ before Yazmin joked: ‘It’s a dead kind of love.’

James and Yazmin first split up in 2019 after two years together over claims he had cheated on her while they were on a romantic holiday together in Turkey, something he denied.

They got back together in 2020 with Yazmin saying the year apart ‘taught them so much’ and them realise ‘how much we’re supposed to be together’.

However, it wasn’t meant to be as they later split up again with James then going onto date Megan, who he was seen in Spain with at the end of June.
