The Only Way Is Essex star James Lock has been spotted for the first time since his ex-girlfriend, fellow TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou, had been seriously injured in a car accident while travelling in Turkey. The 35 year old star was pictured today in Essex as filming got underway for the latest series of TOWIE. Dressed casually for his return to the set, James opted for a white short sleeved T-shirt and stone coloured chinos as he met up with his fellow cast mates to shoot some scenes over a drink for the popular ITV reality series.
James was seen talking with his fellow co-stars Amy Childs, Pete Wicks, Saffron Lempriere, Jordan Brook and Elma Pazar. It comes two days after Yaz's horror car crash which sadly claimed the life of her on-off boyfriend and friend, Jake McLean. Yazmin herself was critically injured in the crash and required immediate treatment in intensive care, but an update released on Monday revealed she is now in a stable condition having undergone surgery to treat her injuries.
According to reports, 28 year old Yazmin was travelling in the vehicle with Jake when it left the road and fell over the cliff side. Jake, 33, was understood to have been driving at the time when he lost control of the car in Bodrum, south-west Turkey. Despite being injured herself, Yazmin was reportedly able to free herself from the wreckage, before climbing through "thorny bushes" and up a steep bank where the car had landed.
It was here, that an official told MailOnline, she had been able to flag down another driver who called the emergency services. Police, ambulance and fire crews rushed to the scene to assist the injured pair, according to reports, but were sadly unable to save Jake. Yazmin meanwhile, was severely injured
