Misse Beqiri reacts as Ryan Thomas pays tribute to late TOWIE star Jake Hall
Jake Hall’s close pal Ryan Thomas has shared the heartfelt final messages the star sent him, just days before his tragic death at the age of 35.
Hall was reportedly found dead at the age of 35 at a holiday villa in Mallorca on Thursday, with Spanish authorities investigating claims he may have suffered a fatal head injury after crashing into a glass door.
On Friday, sources close to the ongoing probe said the worst injury Jake suffered was a chest wound caused by a shard of glass from the door he crashed into at the property in Santa Margalida in the north of the island early on Wednesday morning.
Ryan shared a lengthy post on Instagram paying tribute to Jake, where he said he was ‘in awe’ of him when they first met.
Ryan, whose fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh is close friends with Jake’s ex Chloe Lewis, shared a video of himself and the star dressed in matching white suits as they partied together.
He wrote: ‘The moment I met Jake, I was in awe of him. I found myself gravitating towards him.
‘He was always the coolest guy in the room, he had class, charisma, this magic about him that nobody else had. Anyone who met him, even once, remembered him forever.
‘I used to ring him nearly every day reminding him how special he was and how much happiness he brought people through his music, fashion and art. Everything he touched felt effortless, but really it was genius.
‘As I write this now I can hear him laughing saying, Shut up you silly c**t.
‘For all the people that admired his talent, what mattered most to him was always his family. He idolised his dad, adored his mum, and loved his little brother more than words could ever explain. You just felt it every time he spoke about them.
‘His next chapter is written in the stars now and it’s all about River. I promise she’ll grow up surrounded by love and stories about how inspiring & powerful her daddy is.
‘You wrote this in a message to me just last week so I’m sending the same one back. I love you mate. More than you’ll ever know.’
Jake Hall’s ex-partner Misse Beqiri also reacted to the emotional post.
The Swedish model shares daughter River, eight, with the late TV personality, who shot to fame on the reality show TOWIE in 2015 and appeared in series 14 to 18.
Simon Cowell is looking back at one of Britain’s Got Talent’s most unforgettable moments with serious regret.
Appearing on the debut episode of Celebrity Trenches on May 6, the music mogul admitted he and his fellow judges were “awful” in the way they reacted to Susan Boyle before her now-iconic 2009 audition.
“I look back and I just think, ‘my God we look so awful, horrible,’” Cowell, 66, said. “I actually don’t think we look bad enough. I think we were even worse than that and they went, ‘you look awful.’”
Cowell was referring to the visible skepticism shared between himself, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan before Boyle stunned the audience with her powerful rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables.
“It was a bit of a wake up call. You can’t judge a book by its cover,” admitted Cowell. “We do look disgusting…”
The audition remains one of reality television’s most talked-about moments, catapulting Boyle to global fame almost overnight.
Boyle herself has previously spoken about the painful experience, admitting she felt deeply judged when she first stepped onto the stage. “It felt quite suffocating, almost as though I was an act in a freak show, and that hurt,” she told the Irish Mirror.
Despite the difficult start, Boyle had the last word. She finished as runner-up that season and went on to become an international sensation, with a career that has reportedly earned her an estimated £30 million.
In her latest book, “The Martha Way: Essential Principles for Mastering Home and Living – Your Guide to Cooking, Entertaining, and Stylish Home Organizing” (published by Harvest), Martha Stewart shares her classic methods for cooking – the building blocks essential to every home chef.
She offers “Sunday Morning” viewers her tips on a basic egg dish.

Making an omelet
A classic egg dish, an omelet can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, even dinner. These steps ensure the fluffiest results:
- Begin with fresh eggs and remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you begin.
- Use 3 large eggs per omelet, whisking them with a balloon whisk in a bowl with a pinch of kosher salt and some freshly ground pepper.
- Heat an 8-inch pan over medium-high heat for 30 seconds, then coat with a tablespoon of butter.
- Once the foam subsides, pour the eggs into the center and swirl to coat evenly while running a silicone spatula or a fork in a figure-eight motion until the eggs are set around the edges, about 30 seconds.

- The omelet will still be wet in the middle but will continue to cook off heat.
- Run the spatula around the edge of the omelet to loosen.
- Tilt the pan toward a serving plate and, with the spatula, fold one-third of the omelet over the center.

- Then roll the omelet onto a plate.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs, such as chopped scallions, if desired.

- Of course, an omelet is a canvas for diverse fillings – grated hard cheese; wilted spinach or other greens; sauteed mushrooms, onions, or other vegetables; and fresh or oven-roasted tomatoes.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs may be giving their romance another shot.
The pair — who split three months after welcoming their first child together in November 2025 — were spotted getting affectionate at a Mother’s Day event, adding fresh fuel to reconciliation rumours.
According to clips circulating on social media, the Grammy-winning rapper and NFL star looked cosy during the Diggs Deep Foundation Mother’s Day wellness event, with Diggs kissing Cardi on the cheek and wrapping his arm tightly around her waist as they mingled with attendees.
Other videos showed Cardi linking her arm with Diggs as they walked through the venue. She even spent time bonding with Diggs’ mother Stephanie as the women celebrated motherhood.
Their latest outing has only intensified speculation that they’ve quietly rekindled things after first sparking reunion rumours in April. That month, Diggs attended Cardi’s Little Miss Drama Tour stop in Washington, DC, before later joining her at the afterparty.
The two reportedly called it quits shortly after Super Bowl 2026 in February. They also unfollowed each other on Instagram, with an insider telling People magazine that Cardi “couldn’t trust” him.
Still, their latest appearance suggests the former couple may be finding their way back to each other.
Cardi and Diggs went public with their relationship in May 2025 and welcomed a baby boy later that year. The Bodack Yellow hitmaker also shares three children with estranged husband Offset, whom she filed to divorce from for the second time in 2024.
