Jake Hall’s ex-partner, Misse Beqiri, has opened up about the ‘awful shock’ of his death in a new interview published on Saturday.
The Swedish model shares an eight-year-old daughter, River, with the late reality TV personality, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) in 2015 and appeared in the show’s 14th to 18 series.
Hall was reportedly found dead at the age of 35 at a holiday villa in Mallorca, with Spanish authorities investigating claims he may have suffered a fatal head injury after crashing into a glass door.
In an emotional new interview, Missé has told how it ‘didn’t feel real’ that she had to give River the news.
She added that receiving the call about his death was the ‘worst phone call of her life’.
Missé said: ‘Even today, I keep thinking: “Is this really happening?” Getting that call from his family to let me know, I remember that I kept saying: “There’s no way,” and then everything went black. I can’t remember any of it.
She added to The Sun: ‘That was the worst phone call I’ve ever had in my life. The shock was awful. The first person I thought about was River. How can I tell her that her dad is gone? I kept thinking: “I don’t know if I am able to do this.”
Missé said it was ‘the worst thing she’d ever had to do’ and that River was understandably ‘upset’ by the news.
She explained: ‘We’re trying to keep her in her routine, but when I took her back to school, she said: “Do people know I don’t have a dad now?” It’s so much for her little brain to process.’
River is now having therapy to process what has happened.
