Jake McLean’s girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou was banned from his funeral as Lauren Goodger and James Argent among mourners
DEVASTATED ex-Towie star Yazmin Oukhellou was banned from boyfriend Jake McLean’s funeral after an argument with his family.
Jake, 33, died in a car crash in Bodrum, Turkey, last month and his mum Anita Walsh told authorities she believed a row between the pair could have played a part.
Yazmin, 28, who badly injured her arm in the smash, stayed away as mourners including his ex Lauren Goodger and former Towie co-stars James Argent and Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell attended the Essex service.
Lauren was in a relationship with Jake for four years until 2020.
Mourners at the funeral dressed in a mix of black and white clothing.
The hearse was decorated with floral tributes to Jake, including one of a Lamborghini badge.

The source added: "Yaz will pay her own tribute to Jake privately.”

Jake died instantly at the scene of the crash which happened after the pair had been on a night out with friends.
His mum Anita flew to Turkey immediately after learning of his death and told prosecutors he was a “skilled driver” who would not have lost control of the vehicle.
Speaking in the weeks following the accident, Yazmin told The Sun she had to deliberately break her own arm to free herself from the overturned vehicle and get help for him.
