Jess Megan, who starred on Channel 4<\/a>‘s Bring Back The Bush in 2020, has revealed her boyfriend has died in a heartbreaking post.<\/p>\n

The model took to social media after a four-year hiatus and shared a video featuring 12 clips of her over the year her boyfriend Ollie died.<\/p>\n

Jess said Ollie died of ‘sudden adult death’ and that he went to bed and didn’t wake up. His flatmate called Jess and told her what happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She struggled for months following Ollie’s passing and even slept on his grave shortly after his death in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her post, she wrote: ‘I was walking to the shop bare-footed in a bathrobe and telling anyone who would listen that my boyfriend was dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Then I would drink a box of wine and smoke thirty cigarettes until I couldn\u2019t keep my eyes open. Grief made me feral.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I didn\u2019t sleep, because sleep was the only place I got to see him, experience sweet relief, only to wake up and find out he was gone all over again.’<\/p>\n

Jess appeared on the\u00a0Distraction Pieces podcast<\/a> weeks before on February 4 where she first revealed Ollie had died.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I adored him,’ she said, adding they were ‘deeply in love’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her Instagram video, the March clip shows Jess with a bloodied nose as she revealed she slept on Ollie’s grave.<\/p>\n

In the June clip, she shared a clip of herself crying and wrote: ‘It’s summer and I don’t leave the house for months’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By July, she said she couldn’t stop drinking and was no longer speaking to anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

in August, she was ‘out of her mind’ and was smoking 40 cigarettes a day by September. In October, Jess said she was hospitalised after suffering a heart attack.<\/p>\n

In her caption, Jess added: ‘I took pictures of myself throughout all of this, to remember, I suppose. To remember how deeply and irrevocably f****d I was, and that if I managed to survive this then I could survive anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That If the sun ever came out again, I would take full advantage. I didn\u2019t know it then, but that idea was hope.<\/p>\n

‘But the sun didn\u2019t come out for a really, really long time. Grief costs a lot. Good health, good judgement, happiness, friends, confidence, self-discipline, hygiene, sleep and time. The list is long.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added: ‘What I want people to know, is that there is a way out. Whatever your situation is. However you\u2019ve been hurt (Grief isn\u2019t exclusive to death).<\/p>\n

‘But that way out is not linear. It\u2019s a gruelling obstacle course while everyone else seems to be on a low-level hike. Not everyone who loves you will understand it, some might even leave you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The usual safety precautions and relationships we\u2019ve come to rely on in the past give way and you end up looking like your life like hot Jeff Goldblum looking at that massive pile of s**t.<\/p>\n

‘But here\u2019s what I want you to know: you\u2019re actually capable of anything. I know it\u2019s dismaying to hear it, when more than anything you just want it to be over. But you are.<\/p>\n

‘You\u2019ll do it wrong, you\u2019ll make huge, irresponsible mistakes, you\u2019ll think this is it. Life can\u2019t be good again. But it can be and it will. Just take every day in minutes. I love you, nugget. It\u2019ll be alright.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
