Jake Quickenden has invited his ‘Dancing on Ice’ co-stars to his wedding.
The 29-year-old hunk is set to tie the knot to Danielle Fogarty – the daughter of former motorcycle racer Carl Fogarty – later this year, and says the list for his forthcoming nuptials is extending after becoming close to his celebrity competitors, which include Kem Cetinay and Brooke Vincent, on the ITV show.
The former ‘X Factor’ contestant – who is partnered with professional ice skater Vanessa Bauer on the programme – told the Daily Mirror newspaper; "I’ve already started inviting everyone. It’ll be at the end of the year.
"Danielle’s looking for dresses. She’s doing most of the organising as she’s the boss."
Jake says he hopes people vote him in for his skating talent, not just his good looks.
Asked if he likes the raunchy outfits he has to wear, he said: "Who doesn’t want to dress up and wear sparkly stuff? But it’s pretty freezing on that ice so hot pants are a no. I’ve done the topless thing in the jungle. I want people to vote because of my skating, not because I’m flashing the flesh."
Meanwhile, Jake previously spent hours on treatment to get the hair follicles from the back of his head moved to the front to improve his mop because he wants to look good on his wedding day, before he was engaged to Danielle.
He said: "Even now, getting ready can take me an hour trying to make sure it’s covered up.
"If I was going out and I didn’t have my spray on me I’d get really paranoid that someone was going to say, ‘God, you’re going bald’. This had to be done — I want to get married with hair."
Jake admitted Danielle – who he met after appearing on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ with her father – said she thinks her boyfriend was "mad" to undergo the treatment when his hair looks "absolutely fine".
