Jake Hall’s Former Partners Join TOWIE Stars, Derek Chisora And Beckham Family At Emotional Funeral
Jake Hall’s former partners joined members of the Beckham family and a host of famous friends as mourners gathered in London to say a final farewell to the late The Only Way Is Essex star.
Family and loved ones attended an emotional service at the Grade I-listed St Mary the Virgin church in Wanstead following Jake’s tragic death at the age of 35.
Misse Beqiri, the mother of Jake’s daughter River, was among those seen arriving at the church. His former girlfriend Chloe Lewis, with whom he shared a decade-long relationship, also attended to pay her respects.
The two women joined Jake’s parents, Greg and Jaqueline Hall, as the family prepared to lay their beloved son to rest.
Jake’s coffin was carried into the church by a group that included PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.
Boxer Derek Chisora was also among the mourners, alongside several of Jake’s former TOWIE co-stars.
James Argent, Liam “Gatsby” Blackwell, Georgia Kousoulou, Lydia Bright and Tommy Mallet were all seen arriving for the service.
Carol and Mark Wright, who became familiar faces through the ITV reality series, were also present as friends from across Jake’s television and fashion careers gathered to remember him.
Members of the Beckham family attended because of Jake’s close professional connection to David Beckham.
After leaving reality television, Jake built a career in fashion and reportedly worked as a designer and stylist for the former England captain.
David’s mother Sandra Beckham and his sister Joanne were seen arriving together in black funeral attire.
Their presence reflected the wide circle of people Jake had worked with and befriended during a life that took him from Essex reality television to the international fashion industry.
Jake was found dead at a rented property in Santa Margalida, in northern Majorca, following a night out with friends.
Spanish authorities questioned several people who had been staying at the property as part of their investigation.
The Guardia Civil later said there was no indication of criminal activity surrounding his death.
News of Jake’s passing prompted an outpouring of grief from his family, friends and former colleagues.
Misse, who shared daughter River with Jake, posted an emotional tribute after his death.
She wrote that her heart — and that of their daughter — had been shattered, while remembering Jake as someone whose smile, charm and energy could light up any room.
The pair began an on-off relationship in 2016 and welcomed River in November 2017.
Chloe, who began dating Jake when she was 16, also shared a collection of photographs celebrating their years together.
The couple became well known to viewers after appearing on TOWIE, although Chloe later admitted that sudden fame had placed enormous pressure on their relationship.
She said neither of them had set out to live their private lives in the public eye and suggested that the intense attention surrounding the programme contributed to their eventual separation.
Chloe arrived at the funeral with friend Georgie Fisher and her sister Abbie Morgan.
Only hours before his death, Jake had shared what would become his final Instagram post.
The video offered glimpses of his interests in art, Spanish scenery and fashion, accompanied by The Rolling Stones’ classic song Beast of Burden.
In the accompanying message, Jake acknowledged that life could sometimes be difficult but said he would try to remember the good things.
The poignant final post has since taken on added significance for those mourning him.
Jake first found fame when he joined The Only Way Is Essex in 2015.
His relationship with Chloe became one of the show’s prominent storylines, but he later moved away from reality television and established himself within fashion.
Friends remembered him as a creative and charismatic man whose energy left a lasting impression on those around him.
DJ Fat Tony described Jake’s death as heartbreaking and called him a wonderful person, while Blue singer Antony Costa remembered him as a lovely man.
Former Love Island contestant Jack Fincham also expressed his disbelief and sent condolences to Jake’s family.
At the church, the familiar faces from television and sport were joined by relatives and childhood friends whose grief remained largely private.
Despite the celebrity presence, the focus of the service was firmly on Jake’s family — particularly his parents and young daughter.
The gathering brought together people from very different chapters of his life, including former partners who had each shared important years with him.
There appeared to be no room for old rivalries or public drama as mourners united to support Jake’s family and celebrate his life.
For those closest to him, the funeral marked a deeply painful final goodbye to a father, son, friend and creative talent whose life ended far too soon.
