Towie star Jake Hall shared a final optimistic social media post just hours before his tragic death at age 35. The reality television personality, who joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2015 and appeared on the ITV show from seasons 14 to 17, was found dead with head injuries at a villa in Majorca after reportedly crashing through a glass door.
A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office stated: 'We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.' Authorities have deemed it still 'too early' to determine exactly what happened, with an investigation by the Spanish Civil Guard ongoing.
Hall's final Instagram post, shared just yesterday, has been flooded with shocked reactions and heartfelt tributes. The caption celebrated 'good things' and featured a montage of clips from his holiday in Spain, showing him posing in various outfits, dancing with friends, and painting. He wrote: 'Life is b******s sometimes but I'm gonna try remember the good things – looking through things – I'm just making art – in many forms.'
Following the announcement of Hall's death, tributes poured in from friends and fans. Antony Costa commented: 'So sad, what a lovely bloke you were mate R.I.P.' Jamie Corbett wrote: 'Rest In Peace Jake! keep dancing up there!' Roxie Nafousi added: 'Jake, you were such a sweet soul. I always loved our catch ups. I know things weren't always easy for you but you never gave up and you really loved your little girl more than anything in the world. This is so devastating. Keep dancing up in heaven. Rest in peace.'
Hall is survived by his eight-year-old daughter River, who also appeared in his final social media video. Her mother, Misse Beqiri, Hall's ex-wife, issued an emotional statement through her spokesperson: 'At this time, Misse's focus is on supporting and protecting their child as they come to terms with this devastating loss. The family are asking for privacy, compassion, and respect while they grieve privately.'
Real Housewives of Cheshire star Beqiri welcomed River with Hall in November 2017 and they became engaged the following year. Shortly afterward, Hall was handed a restraining order after neighbors overheard an argument at their home, though his representatives insisted there was no violence on his part. He was forbidden from contacting the model directly or indirectly and from attending Park Walk in Chelsea for 28 days. After five years together, they split in 2021.
Hall, who ran a menswear brand called By Jake Hall, also previously dated his co-star Chloe Lewis. Their on-again, off-again romance formed his main storyline on Towie, ultimately ending after he admitted to being unfaithful in explosive scenes during the series 17 finale.
The Towie team honored Hall with a tribute: 'Jake was a part of the Towie family for a number of years, and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today's very sad news.' Hall left the show to focus on his clothing brand, Prevu, which was worn by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Romeo Beckham, but the brand entered administration in 2022.
Undeterred, Hall launched a second label in 2022. Speaking to Drapers in 2023, he said: 'After my previous corporate partnership deal, I no longer hold any ownership in the brand I founded and put my life and soul into. I'm going to come back mainly to show anyone who is going through something similar in any way that we don't give up. When I look back at the beginning, setting the brand up in my garage with no money, I knew it was more than a brand of clothing; it was a brand about life, a brand authentic to me about personality, emotions and real feelings.'
In May 2025, during one of his final interviews, Hall admitted he had been at a 'very low point' when his business collapsed, adding: 'If I'm honest, River is the reason I'm here today. She's amazing, and we've got an incredible relationship. She's very creative, is always dancing, and loves clothes. It was that part that hurt most when I lost Prévu. I lost something that was for her; everything I do is for her and her future.'
No arrests have been made in connection with Hall's death. An autopsy will take place in the Majorcan capital, Palma. Police are currently focusing on the theory that Hall hit his head on a door in a tragic accident. Officers were called to his rented villa at 7:30 am yesterday, where four men and two women were interviewed. The group reportedly went out in the evening and returned to the villa to party into the early hours.
