TOWIE star Chloe Lewis led mourners at the funeral of her ex-boyfriend and fellow reality star, Jake Hall, in Wanstead, Essex, on Friday.
Friends and family of the artist attended the Grade-I church, St Mary the Virgin, to pay their respects to the TV star who tragically died on Wednesday, 7 May, after sustaining fatal head wounds, believed to have been caused by shards of glass after falling through a glass door at a property in Santa Margalida, Majorca, Spain.

Shortly after his death, Missi penned an emotional statement. "I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable. There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter's.
"You lit up every room you walked into - your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air. The way you loved music, how deeply you felt every sound, your creativity, your mind, your spirit. You were so deeply loved by so many people, and seeing the love everyone has for you is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once. Your constant mission to stop me from taking naps still makes me smile."
She continued: "I loved you from the very first moment I saw you, and there was never a chance you were going to let me go. Together, we created the most beautiful girl, the one you loved more than anything in this world, beyond words.
"Your love for her was so strong it almost scared me, because I knew you would go to the ends of the earth for her. She adored you – her favourite person, her daddy. You will be missed. I promise to keep River safe, loved, and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly. You are at peace now."
