Jake’s close friend Dan Bulman shared a heartfelt message on social media following the tragic news.

“It’s incredibly hard to believe he’s gone in a flash, just like that.
“I’d regularly joke with Jake that he was all over the place, in fact we joked about that on the phone two days ago.
“We joked about it, because it was his biggest strength too.
“Jake’s ability to balance all his raw creative power together with how personable he was, as demonstrated by the outpouring of love for him, made him nothing short of incredible.”
Dan shared that he had been working with Jake to bring one of his projects to life – saying it would have been his biggest yet.
He continued: “What really gets to me today is how he’d just begun channeling his energy into a plan to bring it to the world properly, a plan I was proud to help formulate with him as a friend.
“And one I believe would have set him on the way to delivering everything he wanted to, which was only ever to make his daughter proud.
“Jake was a fiercely loving and dedicated dad – his daughter was his entire world and as a father myself, the fact they’ve been separated too early is devastating.”
He added: “If there’s a message I think Jake would want to leave behind, it would be this: in a world that constantly tells us we should be in a box, or stay in a lane we didn’t choose, find a place you belong and are accepted for everything you are, even if that’s just within you.
“In the comments I’m going to put the manifesto we co-wrote for what was to be Jake’s next chapter.
“Whilst it was never meant to be seen in this form, it feels fitting for it to sit here now as a tribute to Jake’s greatness.
Rest in peace, Jake. You don’t understand now, but later, you will.”
Dan then followed it up with some meaningful quotes that they had both written together, as part of their next project.
One read: “You didn’t lose yourself. You built something out of all of it.
“Something that doesn’t have a simple label, because, like you, it was never meant to.”
Dan also included this one: “So you learned to edit. To lead with one part of you, and quietly carry the rest.
“To walk into rooms and leave whole versions of yourself outside. But you never let go. Not really.”
It comes after Jake battled a number of personal and professional struggles in recent years, from to being by ex-girlfriend , the mother of his daughter River, seven.
But Jake was hoping to turn it all around and shared a post saying that he .
He uploaded a quote in October about where he wants to be by the time he is in his 40s and what he wanted to achieve.
It read: “You can be: lost at 22, broke at 28, unsure at 31, start over at 35, glow and rise at 38, find your purpose at 42, become truly unstoppable at 47.
“Trust the process. You’re not behind. You’re still becoming. Greatness is never rushed.”
Jake shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2015 and had an explosive on-off relationship with Chloe Lewis, with millions of viewers following every moment of their doomed romance.
He left the show in 2016 and later revealed he had not kept in touch with any of his co-stars.
“I was very young,” he said.
“And it was an experience. I’m in a very different place in life now and want different things. There has been a lot of good and bad.”
Jake shared his daughter with Misse Beqiri, star of The Real Housewives of Cheshire. The pair welcomed River in 2017 but split in 2021.
Cops found Jake with fatal head wounds at a rented villa in Majorca in the early hours of Wednesday.
The star had smashed his head against a glass door during a booze-fuelled rampage, police sources claim.
Neighbours reported hearing “loud noises” that were strong enough to make walls vibrate just hours before arrived at the property.
An investigation has been launched by the Spanish Civil Guard.
Police have quizzed four men and two women staying at the house.
They reportedly told officers that they had been out in the evening and continued partying after returning to the property in the early hours.
Authorities have not released the nationalities of the others who were at the property.
