‘Doctors have told Yazmin that she is very, very lucky to have walked away from this,’ a source said. 

‘But Yaz is unable to feel any sense of relief because her heart has been ripped in two over Jake’s death.

‘She still can’t come to terms with what has happened.’

Pals say Yazmin is ‘desperate’ to return home and may be able to do so very soon.

‘Doctors won’t discharge Yaz until they are happy she’s in a fit state to fly home. Understandably Yaz is desperate to get back home as soon as possible so she can be among family and friends.

‘It’s possible that could happen very soon but for Yaz it just can’t come soon enough.’

Yazmin suffered serious arm injuries when their car flipped over in the holiday resort of Bodrum.

McLean, 33, – who has previously dated former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger – was driving at the time of the crash.

Meanwhile MailOnline understands that Yazmin could face a police quiz in upcoming days amid reports about the moments leading up to the crash .

According to reports yesterday she was arguing with Jake as their car crashed.

The claims were made by his mum, Anita Walsh, who raised her concerns with prosecutors investigating the crash that killed her son in Bodrum, Turkey.

She told them her son was a skilled driver and would not have lost control of their Mercedes.

A source in the Bodrum prosecutor’s office said: ‘She has told us he may have been arguing with Yazmin, which caused the car to crash.’

History: Jake (right) rose to fame while dating Lauren (left) as she appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother. The on-off couple got together for the first time in 2012 but split for good in 2016 (pictured in 2013)

The Mercedes careered off a mountain road before overturning in a ditch.

Jake died at the scene.

Yazmin suffered serious arm injuries but pulled herself from the wreckage to get help.

Prosecutors are investigating whether Jake was drink-driving. The on-off couple argued outside a club at 3am, shortly before Sunday’s crash.

Jake and Yazmin are thought to have got together in May last year before she revealed their relationship on Instagram in December in a clip that showed the pair kissing.

But she split from him just a month later after he was reportedly caught ‘acting single’ while on a holiday in Dubai and leaving a club alone with Love Island ex Ellie Jones.

The pair were still thought to be split up when the crash happened on Sunday. Friends say they are unsure what the pair were doing together in Turkey, but may have been there to sign some kind of business deal. 

A source told MailOnline: ‘It’s a complete tragedy and a total loss of life. Everyone is in shock and hoping Yazmin makes a full recovery.’

Pals close to Lauren told MailOnline the pregnant mother-of-one has been left ‘devastated’ by Jake’s untimely passing. 

Speaking to The Sun another source added: ‘Apparently Jake was driving when he lost control of the car and it went off a cliff.’

MailOnline has contacted TOWIE and Yazmin’s representatives for further comment.
