Jake Hall's Life and Legacy
Hall came to fame after starring on the ITV2 reality show in 2015, alongside Jess Wright, Dan Osborne, Ferne McCann and many more. Following his exit, he started dating Misse Beqiri and they went on to welcome daughter River together in 2017, before going their separate ways. His former partner posted on Instagram on Saturday: "I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable. There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter's." She added: "You lit up every room you walked into - your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air. The way you loved music, how deeply you felt every sound, your creativity, your mind, your spirit. You were so deeply loved by so many people, and seeing the love everyone has for you is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once."
Beqiri continued: "Your constant mission to stop me from taking naps still makes me smile. I loved you from the very first moment I saw you, and there was never a chance you were going to let me go. Together we created the most beautiful girl, the one you loved more than anything in this world, beyond words. Your love for her was so strong it almost scared me, because I knew you would go to the ends of the earth for her. She adored you - her favourite person, her daddy. You will be missed. I promise to keep River safe, loved, and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly. You are at peace now."
