TOWIE star Jake Hall was stabbed at a Spanish nightclub years before his death aged 35.
The former reality star was found dead with fatal head injuries at a holiday villa in Majorca on Wednesday morning after a night of partying.
Police are believed to think the designer - who had an eight-year-old daughter with model Misse Beqiri - smashed his head through a glass wall at the rented accommodation.
Ten years before his tragic death, the TV star nearly “lost a kidney” when he was reportedly stabbed with a glass bottle at Aqwa Mist club in Puerto Banus in the south of Spain.
Hall, then 24, was with a group of friends when he allegedly got caught up in a brawl at the beach club in 2016.
During the fight, witnesses claimed they saw men grabbing for broken glass from champagne bottles and the shisha pipes they had been smoking on.
He was stabbed in the right side and his kidney was affected, a court in Marbella was told in a report.
The TV personality was taken to intensive care by his friends. Hall was “fairly unco-operative” with police and no arrests were made.
He shared a photo of himself lying in hospital after the incident and told fans: "Thank you so much for everyone's amazing support and getting me through this.
“I'm getting better thank to everyone. Can't get rid of me that easily."
He also posted a video of himself taking his first steps in hospital after the incident, writing: “Today was best feeling in world being able to have a little walk.”
His ex-girlfriend, TOWIE star Chloe Lewis shared her support at the time, writing: “I will always care for you even if we aren't together... & even if we are far away from each other.”
Police reportedly spoke to three men at the time after being called to a beach club by someone who claimed they were involved.
Hall’s death was reported on Wednesday. He was found dead in Santa Margalida, Majorca, on Wednesday morning after a night out partying.
A source told : “Witnesses told investigators he had been out partying all night and decided to carry on the party back at the place he was renting.”

Four men and two women staying at the house are thought to have been questioned.
They reportedly told officers they had been out in the evening and continued partying after returning to the villa in the early hours.
A police source said: “We are focusing on the theory the victim died in a tragic accident after hitting his head against the glass door but it is still too early to say definitely what happened.”
No arrests are thought to have been been made as inquiries continue. An autopsy is due to take place in the Majorcan capital Palma.
An ongoing investigation is being led by the Spanish Civil Guard. Evening Standard has contacted Hall’s representative for comment.
A slew of celebrities paid tribute to Hall on social media.
Blue singer Anthony Costa wrote: “So sad. What a lovely bloke you were mate R.I.P,” and US stylist Kyle De Volle commented with a series of broken heart emojis.
Model and influencer Roxie Nafousi penned: “Jake :( you were such a sweet soul, I always loved our catch ups. I know things weren’t always easy for you but you never gave up and you really loved your little girl more than anything in the world. This is so devastating. Keep dancing up in heaven. Rest in peace.”
Hall - who shared daughter River with his on-off partner Beqiri - had a second home in Mallorca that he often used as a base for work and leisure.
An FCDO spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities”
Hours before he died, he shared an Instagram video of himself painting, strolling around the Spanish streets and hanging out with River.
He set the clip to the Rolling Stones song Beast of Burden and captioned it: “Life is b******s sometimes but I’m gonna try remember the good things – ️ looking through things – I’m just making art – in many forms.”
Hall and Beqiri got engaged in 2018 but he was hit with a restraining order later that year.
Beqiri, who was formerly on The Real Housewives of Chesire, reportedly split with Hall after a series of tense arguments.
Hall shot to fame on TOWIE in 2015, where he dated Lewis on and off. He quit the ITV reality show in 2024.
