Jake Quickenden

Jake Quickenden hails from Scunthorpe. Music and Sport have always been his life. He played for Scunthorpe under 16’s until a broken leg put paid to those plans for a while. By that time, Jake had started writing his own songs, and the music was edging to the forefront.
With management on board, they secured Jake a TV opportunity as a presenter for Chart Show Dance, and Chart Show TV. It was an exciting week when he was the anchor man for Chart Show Dance TV from Ibiza.
This led to Jake co-hosting The Chart Show TV on a regular basis, including presenting from Wireless Music Festival backstage.
I’m A Celebrity TV producers saw the same entertaining flair in Jake as his management did. After contracts were signed, it was a rush to fly him out to Australia which culminated with him reaching the exciting final.
He became a regular guest on ITV Lorraine & Loose Women also a regular panellist on Big Brothers Bit on The Side. Fitness has always been very important to Jake which led him to being an ambassador for Holland and Barrett.
Alongside other TV work, Channel 4’s ‘The Jump’, asked Jake to fly out to the mountains ready to step in if needed. He really enjoyed all the training, learning to ski. 2018 started an amazing year, as after an intense final showdown against Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent and Sportsman Max Evans, Jake won ITV’s very popular series ‘Dancing on Ice’ 2018. This followed with a Superb Nationwide ‘Dancing On Ice Tour’, and many TV presenting slots on ITV Lorraine continued.
At the start of 2020 Jake was presenter and host on ‘‘Dance to The Music’ national theatre tour.
Owing to these unprecedented times Jake released a track called ‘Quarantine song’ to raise money for the NHS. The song is about life in quarantine and lyrics tell people what they need to do to stay safe for the world to get through this. It reached number 9 in The Official UK Top 40 UK Singles Chart. A super result towards NHS donated monies. This arose hot on the heels of Jake’s TV appearances with The Full Monty (On Ice) with ITV, where alongside skating he sang ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas ‘ live, which brought the house down. 2021 commenced with Jake and his partner Sophie featuring in the Super MTV series ‘Celebrity Bumps’. Jake featured in the amazing channel 4 show, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
