Jake Hall‘s former girlfriends Chloe Lewis and Misse Beqiri led mourners paying tribute to The Only Way Is Essex reality star at his funeral today after he died aged 35.
TOWIE cast member Hall was found dead with head injuries in Majorca after running through a single-glazed glass door at a holiday villa five weeks ago on May 6.
A service in remembrance of Hall’s life was held this afternoon at St Mary the Virgin, a Grade I-listed 18th century Church of England church in Wanstead, east London
Lewis arrived for the service with her influencer friend Georgie Fisher and sister Abbie Morgan, while other TOWIE stars in attendance included Lydia Bright, James ‘Arg’ Argent, Liam Blackwell, Demi Sims, Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou.
The cortege was led by a Rolls-Royce and further attendees included boxer Derek Chisora, DJ Fat Tony and David Beckham‘s mother Sandra and sister Joanne.
Hall, who was renting a property in Santa Margalida at the time of his death, joined the cast of TOWIE in 2015 and dated co-star Lewis before quitting in 2024.
He also ran a menswear brand called ‘By Jake Hall’, and dated Real Housewives of Cheshire star Beqiri, with whom he had eight-year-old daughter River. Hall and Beqiri split in 2021, but she paid tribute to him today by posting a photo of him kissing her.
Hall is believed to have arrived in Majorca on May 5 before going on a night out in Palma, then returning to the villa with two other men and three women.

They partied and played music into the morning but the accident happened at about 7.15am when neighbours heard a loud crash, followed by glass shattering.
The Guardia Civil confirmed there was no ‘criminal activity’ that took place at the scene, while legal sources confirmed the death appeared to be entirely accidental.
An autopsy took place in Palma but the results of the tests will not be made public.
Following his death, Beqiri said: ‘I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable. There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter’s.
‘You lit up every room you walked into – your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air. The way you loved music, how deeply you felt every sound, your creativity, your mind, your spirit.
‘You were so deeply loved by so many people, and seeing the love everyone has for you is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.’
Other tributes poured in for Hall, including from Fat Tony who said on Instagram: ‘Devastating news we love you @jakehall such an awful loss to the world you beautiful man x.’

TOWIE also issued a statement which read: ‘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’s final post on Instagram showed him painting on the island.
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.’
The comments on the post were later flooded with tributes from fans and fellow celebrities alike, including fellow TOWIE star Georgia Harrison.
Harrison, who is also known for appearing on ITV’s Love Island, wrote: ‘RIP Jake my heart’s breaking for everyone close to you today and your amazing family.’
Antony Costa, known for his role in boyband Blue, said: ‘So sad. What a lovely bloke you were mate R.I.P.’
