Chloe Lewis leads mourners at Jake Hall’s funeral after Towie star’s death aged 35

Chloe Lewis led mourners paying their respects to former The Only Way Is Essex star Jake Hall on Friday, weeks after his tragic death in Majorca aged 35.

A funeral service celebrating Hall’s life was held at St Mary the Virgin church in Wanstead, east London, where family, friends and former co-stars gathered to say goodbye.

Lewis, who dated Hall for almost a decade before their split in 2016, arrived alongside influencer Georgie Fisher and her sister Abbie Morgan.

Several familiar faces from the Towie cast were also in attendance, including Lydia Bright, James ‘Arg’ Argent, Liam Blackwell, Demi Sims, Tommy Mallet, and Georgia Kousoulou.

The cortege was led by a Rolls-Royce adorned with floral tributes reading ‘Dad’ and ‘Brother’ in honour of Hall, who leaves behind his eight-year-old daughter River and his family.

Other mourners included boxer Derek Chisora, motivational speaker Roxie Nafousi, DJ Fat Tony, singer Tom Grennan and members of the Beckham family, including David Beckham’s mother Sandra and sister Joanne.

The emotional service came after Lewis shared a heartbreaking tribute to Hall following his death earlier this month.

Reflecting on their relationship, which began when they were teenagers, Lewis recalled meeting Hall when she was 16 and said he looked as though he had ‘stepped straight out of a Ralph Lauren catalogue’.

She described how they became inseparable after their first meeting and remained best friends throughout much of their youth.

‘From that day on, we were inseparable, and you became my best friend,’ she wrote.

Lewis admitted that starring together on Towie placed immense pressure on their relationship, explaining that life in the public eye became difficult for both of them.

‘Being in the public eye wasn’t really what we wanted, but it all just happened so quickly and it took over our relationship,’ she said.

Despite eventually separating after around a decade together, Lewis said Hall remained one of the most important people in her life.

She praised him as a devoted father and talented entrepreneur, describing him as the ‘most talented and creative’ person she knew.
