Yazmin Oukhellou ‘learning to live’ as she poses with wellness coaches at Marrakesh retreat

Yazmin Oukhellou has admitted she’s ‘learning to live’ after suffering a fatal crash that killed her boyfriend Jake McLean two months ago.

The TOWIE star, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a beaming snap with her two wellness coaches, after jetting off to the £1,500-per-week Wellness Retreat Worldwide in Marrakesh to put her trauma behind her.

Putting on a leggy display in a white double-breasted minidress, she added inches to her height with nude heels and clutched a miniature brown handbag while posing with her mentors at the spectacular Nouba Restaurant.

Grateful: In her caption, she wrote: ‘Honestly cannot thank you both enough for being my rocks since my accident. You two are such a blessing’

In her caption, she wrote: ‘Honestly cannot thank you both enough for being my rocks since my accident. You two are such a blessing and have completely changed my outlook on life this past week.

‘I’ve learnt so much about myself and can honestly say for the first time in a long time that I am proud of me.

‘I never thought I’d start back my retreats in Marrakech @wellnessretreatworldwide but I cannot wait to share my story and help so many of you as I can.

‘For any of you who are struggling right now please just know that nothing lasts. You will never forget what you have been through but you will learn to live with it.

‘And know that it’s okay to have shit days and then good days. It’s normal. Something that has helped me so much is just changing my daily habits. Start small.

‘Write down three things you are grateful for this morning. And let me know how you get on. Love Yaz. [white heart emoji].’

Yazmin shared an update from her Marrakesh holiday to Instagram on Sunday as she gushed over her parents – who she’s enjoying the trip with.

Posing for a gorgeous bikini snap at Nikki Beach, the reality star took to the caption to pen a heartfelt message to her mum, Lisa, and dad, Hamid.

Yazmin jetted to Marrakech following Jake’s funeral on August 16 for a ‘healing holiday’ with her parents after she was left with serious injuries in the horror car crash.

And taking to social media, she donned a colourful striped swimsuit from brand Missoni for the beach club day, smiling for a picture as she lazed back on a beach bed.

The beauty had her dark locks flowing freely in a soft wave, as she added a glamorous palette of makeup with a red lip.

She also shared videos of her parents in the post as they enjoyed Nikki Beach, even stepping up for a boogie on the dancefloor.

And taking to the caption, Yazmin put her love for them into words as she described herself as ‘forever grateful’.

Explaining that the sun-soaked day was one she’d ‘never forget’, the star penned: ‘Yesterday was a day I’ll never forget. With the two people I love the most. I truly have put my mum and dad through hell with worry.

‘As much as I went through such an awful trauma it has made closer than ever to them. Some days for me can be such a struggle where I just want to stay in bed and hide away from the world behind the glossy pics I post but I know that with the support of my mum and dad I’ll be okay. For that I am forever grateful. Love Yaz.’

Gorgeous: Her mum, Lisa, donned a black swimsuit for the poolside day 

Lisa and Hamid, who have been married for 26 years, appeared in high spirits for the day with their daughter as they let their hair down.

Describing them as ‘couple goals’, Yazmin shared a slew of snaps to her Stories – telling her 740K followers ‘I just love them so much’. 

The family headed out to dinner later that evening to fusion restaurant Nouba – with Yazmin stopping for a snap with her dad, who runs a garage, before they left.

The trio dined on sushi and Chinese food during the outing, with live acrobats and entertainment at the upmarket eatery.

Yazmin took to her Stories the following day to explain how her dad keeps her so positive, sharing that he starts his day off with a bout of positivity.

With a speech playing in the background of the video, she explained: This is how my dad starts the day off every single morning. 

‘He plays positive speeches through the speakers and I can’t recommend it enough. It just starts your day off positively instead of looking at your phone and going on Instagram.’

Lisa and Hamid also share Yazmin’s younger brother Adam, 27, who appeared to stay back home from the trip.

Jake was killed on July 3 when his blue Mercedes E class saloon crashed in Bodrum, while Yazmin was left with serious injuries after she had to break her own arm to escape the wreckage as Jake was in the driving seat unconscious. 

The crash took place at around 4.30am and investigators have established that the car hurtled around 70 feet over a left turn bend and landed in a ravine almost 30 feet below.

Jake was pronounced dead at the scene while Yazmin was rushed to hospital, where she underwent treatment for her injured arm.

After the crash, she clambered through thick, thorny bushes to stop a passing motorist for help.

She has told of how she is still coping with post traumatic stress following her return to the UK.

It has been claimed the couple had a blazing row at a nightclub shortly before the crash, something which Jake’s mum Anita Walsh told Turkish authorities she believed could have played a role in her son’s death.

This led to a bitter fallout between Yazmin and Anita, who banned the reality star from Jake’s funeral in Essex last month.
