Trying to take his mind off the recent accident, James was seen laughing and joking with Amy, Saffron and Pete as the cameras rolled.
Yazmin was said to have screamed 'Help me, help me.

My friend is dead' as she scrambled to safety moments after the car smash that killed her boyfriend Jake. 







Tragedy: On Sunday, Yazmin's on-off boyfriend Jake Mclean lost his life after he drove his car off a cliff in Bodrum, Turkey, while she was left seriously injured and is currently recovering in hospital 

The reality TV star, 28, clambered through thorny bushes up a steep bank and desperately flagged down a passing motorist for help.
An official from Turkish Prosecutors Office in Bodrum, who cannot be named under Turkish law, told MailOnline: 'Yazmin's arm was bleeding and she somehow managed to get to the road.

A passing car stopped, and the driver helped her with her injury and called emergency services.'
'Jake died at the scene despite the attempts of paramedics to save him. Ambulance, police and fire fighters were there very quickly but this was a very bad smash and most of the damage to the car was caused to the driver's side,' the Assistant Prosecutor added.
The official revealed that Jake is estimated to have been driving at 'well over' the 40 miles per hour speed limit although they had yet to establish a specific figure for this.

Laid back: James cut a casual figure for the outing as he sported a white T-shirt and a pair of khaki trousers






Looking good: Amy Childs donned a white midi dress with a green floral print as she filmed alongside James 










Past: Yazmin and James insisted their toxic relationship was over for good last February before the reality bad boy's fling with ITVBe co-star Chloe Brockett, 21






Fling: James spent the night with Yazmin, 27, and filmed now-deleted Instagram stories of him wearing just his boxer shorts from her kitchen






Opinion: In October last year, Amy Childs told Yazmin that she believed James wasn't over her despite the fact he was in a new relationship with Megan

It was claimed that Jake and Yazmin had a blazing row at a nightclub in Turkey shortly before the car crash.
A police official at the station told MailOnline: 'As per Turkish legal procedures, we will meet with Jake's mother and take a statement from her.

We have had a brief conversation with her and as you can imagine, she's devastated.
'We need some details from her about Jake and his state of mind in the days leading up to the crash. We don't want to add to her anguish and understand in istanbul Law Firm the difficult time she is going through.'
Turkish police will surely be interested in the claim that the on-off couple were 'locked in a furious argument' in front of revellers inside a club in the holiday resort city of Bodrum around 3am Sunday.





'Love': Saffron Lempriere added: 'It's a Halloween kind of love, you two' before Yazmin joked: 'It's a dead kind of love






Romance: Yazmin - who rose to fame appearing reality TV show TOWIE - began dating Jake in May last year before revealing their relationship on Instagram in December

However, the couple split just a month later after Jake was seen 'acting single' while on holiday in Dubai and amid suspicion he was hooking up with ex Ellie Jones, who appeared on Love Island.
The couple were still thought to be broken up at the time of the crash in Turkey, and it is unclear exactly why they were there together. 
Yazmin and James insisted their toxic relationship was over for good last February before the reality bad boy's fling with ITVBe co-star Chloe Brockett, 21. 
However, James was spotted leaving Yazmin's Essex home in April after the couple secretly rekindled their romance.





Reunited: James and Yazmin got back together in 2020 with Yazmin saying the year apart 'taught them so much' and them realise 'how much we're supposed to be together'













Saffron Lempriere added: 'It's a Halloween kind of love, you two' before Yazmin joked: 'It's a dead kind of love.'
James and Yazmin first split up in 2019 after two years together over claims he had cheated on her while they were on a romantic holiday together in Turkey, something he denied.
They got back together in 2020 with Yazmin saying the year apart 'taught them so much' and them realise 'how much we're supposed to be together'.
However, it wasn't meant to be as they later split up again with James then going onto date Megan, who he was seen in Spain with at the end of June.
