Jake Hall, who previously featured on ITV reality show The Only Way is Essex, has died in Spain. He was 35.
According to The Sun, Hall sustained head injuries and died after an accident at a villa in Majorca.
A spokesperson for the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office told BBC News: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.” This person was confirmed to reporters to be Hall.
The Spanish Civil Guard told BBC News it was investigating the incident, which it said “appears to be an accidental death.”
Tributes came in on social media for Hall, who was also a model and fashion designer and landed a role on ITV stalwart The Only Way is Essex in 2015. He had previously dated co-star Chloe Lewis.
The Only Way Is Essex said in a statement: “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 is the second The Only Way is Essex star to die this year. In March, Jordan Wright died in Thailand. Local reports said he was found dead in a concrete drainage system on the Thai island of Phuket.
Hall is survived by his daughter, whose mother is Ladies of London and former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé Beqiri.
