His stint in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle last year gave us several eyefuls of his super-ripped body, but Jake Quickenden has finally returned to show us more of his naked torso. THANK THE LORD.

The X Factor contestant stripped down for July’s aTeen magazine, and spoke about the importance of checking for cancer – especially as both his dad and brother died from the disease.

“I have to go for constant check-ups,” he revealed.

“Only last year I had a bit of a scare when I found a lump in my leg. Health is a massively important thing for me and I try and live my life to the full every day.”

He went on: “Losing my dad and brother was a rollercoaster of emotions and I was extremely angry.

“These bastard illnesses need to be overpowered.”

Jake added that it was the love of his mum that helped him slowly return to normality after the double tragedy, but that he had to grow up faster because of it.

“I am so proud of what charities like Cancer Research have achieved and we as society will stand up and beat it. I like to think that I can use whatever airtime I get to spread the message that we can create change.”

Meanwhile, Jake is launching his first EP and says girlfriend Danielle Fogarty – daughter of his jungle buddy Carl Fogarty – has been brill at giving him feedback on his new songs.
