JAKE McLean had a "secret girlfriend" when he was killed in a horror car crash which Yazmin Oukhellou critically injured.
Former TOWIE star Yazmin was forced to break her own arm to escape the wreckage when Jake's Mercedes crashed in Turkey.
The luxury motor plummeted 30ft off a ravine in Bodrum – killing Jake instantly.
The on-off couple were thought to be holidaying together, but it has now been revealed that Jake had a "serious relationship" at home.
Chloe Hennessey, a 27-year-old beauty salon owner from Essex, was allegedly seeing Jake at the time of the horror smash.
"Chloe was his girlfriend and they loved each other," a source told MailOnline.
They added: "She has a close relationship with his family and together they're helping each other get through this terribly sad time."
She attended the funeral and penned a touching tribute to her beau, posting: "What a beautiful day for a beautiful soul.
"So happy everyone important that should've been there showed up."
"So many laughs, cries, and happy memories with all his closest loved ones. Hope you can fully rest in peace now fly high Jakey. Love you forever always in our hearts."
She added: "This has taught me that life is so short and we must cherish our loved ones.
"I have been taking some time away from social media to fully focus on my mental and physical recovery. I needed this time away to work on healing and processing everything as best I can.
"I am so grateful for our memories and the special time that Jake and I shared. I've not stopped thinking about him and I'll miss him always. He will forever hold a special place in my heart."
She is the owner Chloe's Beauty Boutique in Essex where offers aesthetics and cosmetic treatments including filler, Botox, and Brazilian bum lifts.
