Chloe Lewis and boxer Derek Chisora were among the mourners attending Jake Hall’s funeral on Friday following the former TOWIE star’s death in Spain last month.
Friends, family and familiar faces from the reality TV world gathered at Grade I-listed St Mary the Virgin church in Wanstead, east London, for the service.
Members of the Beckham family also attended.
Celebrity guests at Jake Hall’s funeral
After leaving The Only Way Is Essex, Jake, who has a young daughter, moved into fashion and worked dressing David Beckham.
David Beckham’s mum Sandra and sister Joanne were seen arriving at the church. Fellow TOWIE stars James Argent and Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell also attended.
Jake Hall rose to wider public attention on The Only Way Is Essex in 2015, where his relationship with Chloe Lewis became part of the show’s storyline.
After stepping back from reality TV, he moved into fashion and styling work. He was known to have worked dressing David Beckham, which helps explain the Beckham family’s connection to him.
In later years, Jake also shared creative work on social media, including art and fashion-related posts. He died in Spain in May 2026, aged 35.
Chloe Lewis, who was in a relationship with Jake for 10 years after they got together when she was 16, had previously shared a series of photos from their time together on Instagram.
Her tribute prompted emotional responses from celebrity friends including Michelle Keegan and Ferne McCann.
Chloe has previously said that neither of them wanted life in the spotlight and that the pressures of fame put strain on their relationship during their early years on TOWIE.
Other mourners included Georgia Kousoulou, Tommy Mallet, Lydia Bright and DJ Fat Tony.
Floral tributes at the service included arrangements reading “brother” and “dad”.
How Jake Hall died
Investigators believe Jake, 35, crashed into a glass door at a property in Santa Margalida after finding him in a pool of blood on May 6.
He died at the holiday villa in Santa Margalida, in the north of Majorca, after suffering head injuries following a night out.
Officers were called to the rented property at about 7.30am.
Police reportedly questioned four men and two women who had been staying at the house. Authorities have not released the nationalities of the other people at the property.
A Civil Guard spokesman said last month: “There is nothing pointing to it being the result of a crime at this stage.”

Hours before his death, Jake shared a final Instagram post in which he said he was trying to “remember the good things”.
