A FORMER Towie star has landed a huge job just months after quitting the show and leaving the UK.
Yazmin Oukhellou left Towie and relocated to Dubai earlier this year – but fans won't have to wait long to see her back on screens.
The Sun can exclusively reveal Yazmin, 29, has signed up for Celeb Ex on the Beach.
Her latest career move comes after Yazmin was involved in a horrific car crash that killed her boyfriend Jake McLean.
A TV insider said: "Yazmin has had a hellish year – she lost her ex boyfriend Jake McLean in a car crash that also saw her having to undergo surgery while grieving his death.
"She also recently lost her friend Dean in a motorcycle accident and has been dealing with all of that devastation.

"When the offer for Celebrity Ex On The Beach came along, she felt like she needed to turn the page and do something that was just going to be fun and let her forget all her troubles.
"There’s sure to be drama but after everything Yaz has been through, it’s just the distraction she needs."
The Sun has contacted a rep for Ex on the Beach for comment.
Last year Yazmin survived the horror car smash that killed Jake McLean, 33, but was forced to break her own arm to escape the car.
