TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou turns realtor in Dubai

British reality TV star Yazmin Oukhellou revealed earlier this month that she was training to be a real estate broker after spending Christmas and New Year in the glittering real estate of Dubai.

And according to reports she's now seriously making a go of it, with sources claiming she’s saying goodbye to Essex for good.

Speaking to followers on Instagram from her Dubai home, Yazmin teased her new career as she dressed in smart office-wear, saying, “It's been a bit nerve wrecking for me to be honest. It's a big jump but so far I'm loving it and I'm loving office wear.”

She rose to fame on ITVBe hit show The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE), has made a life-changing decision to switch careers and join the real estate industry in Dubai.

The 28-year-old reality star revealed that she moved to the UAE from UK to begin a new chapter in her journey and find success and solace in a culturally rich and safe environment, following the tragic loss of her boyfriend Jake McLean, who died in a car accident in Bodrum, Turkey, last year.

In an interview, Yazmin expressed her reasons for choosing Dubai as her new home, citing the city’s cultural diversity, privacy and safety as some of the key factors. "Dubai ticks all the right boxes as it allows me to be able to be myself. It provides me with the privacy I need to heal and has a culturally rich environment. I am also fond of being around people who are successful and inspiring, and Dubai fits the bill perfectly."

Yazmin has landed a job with a Dubai-based real estate company and is excited to start her new journey in the dynamic and fast-paced world of real estate.
