Jake Hall: The Only Way Is Essex star dies in Spain aged 35

Jake Hall, known for his appearances on the reality TV series The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), has died in Majorca, Spain, at the age of 35. According to reports, Hall suffered fatal head injuries at a villa in Santa Margarita. The Spanish Civil Guard is currently investigating the incident, describing it as “an accidental death” and awaiting the autopsy results. A spokesperson from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office confirmed that they are assisting Hall’s family and liaising with local authorities.

Hall’s rise to fame began after joining the cast of TOWIE in 2015 as a friend of fellow cast member Vas J Morgan. During his time on the show, he was also known for his relationship with co-star Chloe Lewis. The reality series paid tribute to Hall, expressing their condolences to his loved ones in a formal statement. Various personalities from the entertainment industry, including Georgia Harrison, Roxie Nafousi, Anthony Costa, and DJ Fat Tony, also shared heartfelt messages memorializing him.

Originally hailing from east London, Jake Hall’s family relocated to Majorca when he was a child, a place he fondly referred to as the site of happy childhood memories. Before his television career, Hall had ventured into the fashion world, launching his first label, Prévu, from his garage in 2012. The brand gained recognition and was worn by celebrities like Stormzy and Bella Hadid. Though sold to JD Sports in 2021 and later acquired by Frasers Group in 2022, Prévu went into administration in 2023. Reflecting on the loss of his business, Hall shared the emotional impact it had on him.

Following the closure of Prévu, Hall created a new fashion label named By Jake Hall, drawing inspiration from the colors and vibe of Majorca. This venture, however, faced difficulties and eventually went into liquidation the previous year. During this challenging time, Hall discovered solace in art, encouraged by his young daughter River, whom he shared with Missé Beqiri, a former reality TV star. Hall described how drawing helped him cope with dark periods in his life. Aside from fashion and television, Hall also played non-league football, featuring for clubs including Boston United, Grays Athletic, Bromley, and Billericay.
