's ex Missé Beqiri has heartbreakingly said that telling their daughter that he had died was the 'worst thing she's ever had to do' – as she reflected on the 'awful shock' of his death in a new interview on Saturday.

The star, 39, shares eight-year-old daughter River with the star, who died last month aged 35.

He sustained fatal injuries from smashing his head through a glass door at a villa in Santa Margalida, Mallorca.

In an emotional new interview, Missé has told how it 'didn't feel real' that she had to give River the news.

She added that receiving the call about his death was the 'worst phone call of her life'.

Missé said: 'Even today, I keep thinking: "Is this really happening?" Getting that call from his family to let me know, I remember that I kept saying: "There's no way," and then everything went black. I can't remember any of it.

She added to The Sun: 'That was the worst phone call I've ever had in my life. The shock was awful. The first person I thought about was River. How can I tell her that her dad is gone? I kept thinking: "I don't know if I am able to do this."

Missé said it was 'the worst thing she'd ever had to do' and that River was understandably 'upset' by the news.

She explained: 'We're trying to keep her in her routine, but when I took her back to school, she said: "Do people know I don't have a dad now?" It's so much for her little brain to process.'

River is now having therapy to process what has happened.

It is especially heartbreaking for Missé who also lost her brother seven years ago.

Flamur Beqiri, who was known as Alex, died aged 36 on Eve in 2019 when he was fatally shot by hired assassin Anis Hemissi in front of his wife Debora Krasniqi and one of their two children.

She told The Sun: 'How is this happening to me again?' as she explained how she was trying to process her grief.

Last week Missé paid heartbreaking tribute to her tragic late ex Jake and her brother on Father's Day.

In her sweet tribute to her tragic loved-ones, she shared a snap of the duo together alongside an impassioned caption about her gratitude and their laughs.

She wrote: 'Two men, dads, sons, brothers. Today it's Father's Day and I'm honouring these two fathers, my brother Alex and Jake...

Last week Missé paid heartbreaking tribute to her tragic late ex Jake and her brother on Father's Day

'Life is very short, and sometimes we forget to look around us and say thank you, so Thank you. If it's one thing you can do today is that I've learned that my family; children, friends and kids are everything...

'I am beyond grateful for them, for this community and each one of you who has thought of our family in this difficult times. So much respect. So much love and gratitude. Til we meet again.'

As well as the image of Jake and Alex, she also shared a sweet video in which she performed a dance routine with River and Jake.

Jake and Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Missé were previously engaged in May 2018, but later that year Jake was given a restraining order at Westminster Magistrates' Court following a shock row between the then-couple.

There were no details given as to what sparked the order, but Jake's barrister told the court no physical violence had taken place while adding that Jake agreed that a 'cooling off period' may be a good idea to 'keep the peace'.

Despite the unrest in their relationship, the couple later went on to happily co-parent.

Jake shot to fame on TOWIE in 2015 as a friend of Vas J Morgan and the ex-boyfriend of Chloe Lewis. He was a regular on the reality TV series from series 14 to series 17.

Father's Day fell just over a week after Jake's 'unconventional' funeral.

The unique event saw his family and friends gather at an immersive celebration of Jake's life and work, featuring a large-scale exhibition of his paintings, a tribute to his fashion career and performances from close friends and collaborators.

Jake's family vowed to 'continue his mission' to display his passions for art and fashion, as they celebrated his life with the immersive exhibition.

Jake's family are launching The Choose Everything Foundation, in his memory, with all proceeds directed towards its formation and his daughter River.

Speaking on behalf of his family, Jake's brother Sonny, who performed a DJ set at the funeral, said: 'We wanted to give Jake a send-off that matched who he was – not a quiet room, not a conventional goodbye. He lived out loud...

'He built things. He made people feel something. Last night was our way of saying: we saw you. We're proud of you. And we're not done yet...

'The art, the foundation, everything we're building in his name – that's the mission continuing. Choose everything.'

The memorial took place hours after Jake's friends and family came together to say their goodbyes at his funeral.

Many appeared to be in disbelief following Jake's shocking death aged just 35 after he ran through a glass door in a holiday villa he was renting on the Spanish island of Majorca – where Jake had lived with his family during his childhood.

Sonny's voice choked up with emotion as he spoke movingly of their lives together in a message he had pre-recorded.

He promised that he would help care for Jake's daughter River and told how his brother had done more in 35 years than most people would in several lifetimes.

Sonny tearfully concluded saying: 'I love you so much – I miss you so much.'
