Reality favourite Jake Quickenden has showed off the impressive results of a six-week health kick on his Instagram page.
The former singer and Dancing On Ice star is known for his shredded torso but shared a pic with his followers from a few weeks ago, showing him looking a little rounder in the middle. In the next photo he was back to his toned best, explaining that his new fitness regime was having a positive impact on his mental health, too.
'So 6 weeks ago I was like this, felt horrible but worst was mentally I was down in myself,” he wrote. My anxiety was terrible and just felt unmotivated and lazy, so I started eating better and working out hard.
'Yes my body has changed and look better.... but the main thing is mentally I feel better, I’m optimistic about what’s next excited to try new things.' [sic]
The mental shift will come at a great time, as Jake has reportedly landed a role in a major soap.
A telly source told The Sun that Jake had landed the role of a builder on Hollyoaks and would appear in a few major episodes later on in the year.
He first rose to fame on the X Factor in 2012, and has since gone on to appear on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!and then winning Dancing on Ice last year.
But perhaps his most notable job was appearing alongside the Dreamboys for part of their UK tour, telling Closer last year, “The women in the crowd at Dreamboys get very lairy – until you meet them at the end and they go really quiet and shy.”
“I’ve really enjoyed Dreamboys, but I don’t think I’m good enough at dancing to do Magic Mike! I’m alright, but I’m no Channing Tatum."
