Jake Quickenden signs up for The Jump after prior success in The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity
After being pipped to the post on The X Factor and I'm A Celebrity, Jake is out to win the skiing competition
JAKE Quickenden has been signed up to Channel 4 show The Jump, The Sun Online can reveal.
The veteran reality will be joining Josie Gibson, Lydia Bright, Vogue Williams and former footballer Robbie Fowler on the slopes when the competition starts in the New Year.
Jake is no stranger to reality television – with The Jump being the third show he’s signed up for in two years.
Despite this Jake's up for the challenge and can't wait to get out to Austria.
An insider said: “Jake's a real reality veteran now having been in X Factor and I'm A Celebrity.
“But, with The Jump having such a track record for injuries, he's definitely hoping it'll be third time lucky!
“Jake is in prime physical condition and he loves a challenge.
“He was delighted to be approached and quite literally jumped at the chance of taking part.
“Maybe by the end of the series he will have as many bumps and bruises as his future father-in-law Foggy.”
On Monday fellow contestant Josie Gibson was spotted honing her moves in training.
An insider told The Sun Online: “Josie has been training hard for the show and really throwing herself into it.
“She’s been having ski lessons to try and make sure she doesn’t embarrass herself on the slopes and she’s really taken to it.”
Lydia and Vogue have become firm friends and have shared pictures from their training sessions with their fans.
Earlier this month the pair posed at the foot of a snow-covered mountain, with Towie star Lydia captioning the snap: “Here we go, early morning starts.
“First day of training. Let’s do this boo @voguewilliams @channel4 #TheJump 2017.”
She added: “I [love] skiing & have defos become an adrenaline junkie as Ive got older Bring on the challenge.”
