The TOWIE star, 28, who appeared on Sunday night’s show in scenes filmed weeks before Jake’s death, has since flown to Morocco for some recuperation time.
Jake was killed instantly when his car plunged into a ravine in a crash that left his lover Yazmin with serious injuries after she broke her arm trying to escape.

In a new image, Yazmin sat by the pool reading a self-help book with the page open to a quote about karma following a horrific few weeks for the reality personality.
Yazmin wore a colorful bikini and a pair of sunglasses as she studied a page, which read: “Each energy produces a force of energy that returns to us in kind… what we sow is what we reap.
“And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruits of our karma are happiness and success.”
She captioned the post: “Healing is NOT an overnight process. It takes time. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re finally getting over something and happy again, and then the wound will reopen when you least expect it.
“Don’t give up, don’t get discouraged. Take each day one step at a time. Just try to be in a better place mentally, emotionally and spiritually than you were yesterday.’

Yazmin went on to discuss the difficult days she’s had since Jake’s sudden death and how she copes by practicing gratitude.
He said: “I’ve come back to my second home after what I’ve been through and I’ve tried to regroup. When those days hit me where I feel like giving up…
“I practice gratitude and thanks for even the smallest things and it really helps. Love Yaz.

Yazmin is still dealing with PTSD as she returned to the UK before flying to Marrakech.
Jake’s mother claims her son was a good driver and must have been distracted at the time of the crash, which happened in the early hours of the morning while he and Yazmin were on their way home from a nightclub in the Bodrum holiday spot.
It was reported that the pair were rowing in the moments before their speeding vehicle hit the crash barrier and overturned, a claim denied by Yazmin.

She moved to Dubai last year to be with Jake after quitting ITVBe show TOWIE.
But the reality star ended their romance in January this year after discovering Jake had been unfaithful with former Love Island contestant Ellie Jones.
Sources close to Yazmin say her relationship with Jake was “toxic at times.”
This year, Yazmin was set to return to TOWIE after filming with the cast in the Dominican Republic.
While they dated for months, Yazmin didn’t confirm her romance with Jake until December 2021.
She took to Instagram to make things official with a photo of her and Jake cuddling up together in Dubai, but covered his face with a heart-eyed emoji.
Yazmin captioned the snap, “We’ve been through more than most. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
The pair briefly dated in 2019, before rekindling their relationship following Yazmin’s split from James.
Yazmin has been called an ‘angel’ by doctors after surviving the crash which saw Jake’s Mercedes plunge 70ft down a mountain in Turkey which has become a ‘notorious spot’ for accidents.

“I’m definitely going to need treatment for a while, and I’m going to try some inpatient treatment as well. I know this will live with me forever, I have to take it slowly.’
