A traumatized Yazmin told how she struggled to understand how she survived the crash and Jake didn’t, with doctors telling her he’s an “angel” as people don’t tend to survive the “infamous” crash site.
“I cut an artery and a nerve, that’s why I was bleeding so much,” he said. “Now I’m wondering how the hell my partner died while I survived? It made me see life completely differently.’
As well as treatment, Yazmin may also need plastic surgery as she has been left with “permanent scarring”, with UK doctors warning she may never use her right arm again.

The TV personality deliberately broke her trapped arm to escape the crash and rush to help – while Jake lay unconscious.
As she continues to recover from the terrifying experience, Yazmin said her emotions are “very up and down” as she processes the grief of losing Jake.
She described how she had lost relatives before, including her beloved Nan last year, but no one who loved her in an “intimate way”, admitting it was “very difficult”.
Amidst her recovery, Yazmin is staying off “social settings” and won’t log into social media, and has also changed her phone number.

Yazmin said she convinced herself Jake was still alive as she ran to the top of the lowered bank and screamed for help.
Luckily, a man walking his dog found her immediately and ran to the car to help, but unfortunately it was too late as Yazmin said she couldn’t feel Jake’s pulse.
Yazmin said the grief and shock left her in need of treatment and has not left her mother Lisa’s side since the accident.

Meanwhile, MailOnline understands Yazmin could face a police quiz in the coming days amid reports of the moments leading up to the crash.
According to reports yesterday, she was arguing with Jake as their car crashed.
The claims were made by his mum, Anita Walsh, who raised her concerns with prosecutors investigating the crash that killed her son in Bodrum, Turkey.
Anita told prosecutors that Jake would not have lost control of the car as it flew off a bend on a mountain road because of his driving experience.

An assistant public prosecutor who cannot be named under Turkish law told MailOnline on July 6: ‘We spoke to Jake’s mother and she told us there was something going on in the car that was distracting him.
“He does not believe this accident was caused by his bad driving. He said he is a very competent and experienced driver and would not have lost control of the car like that.’
Prosecutors are investigating whether Jake was driving under the influence. The pair had been fighting outside a club at 3am shortly before the crash.

Jake and Yazmin are believed to have met in May last year before she revealed their relationship on Instagram in December in a clip which showed the pair kissing.
But she broke up with him just a month later after he was reportedly caught ‘single’ while on holiday in Dubai and left a club alone with Love Island ex Ellie Jones.
The couple were still believed to be separated when the accident happened on Sunday. Friends say they are not sure what the couple were doing together in Turkey, but they may have been there to sign some kind of business deal.
A source told MailOnline: ‘It is a complete tragedy and a total loss of life. Everyone is in shock and hoping that Yazmin will make a full recovery.
