Jake Quickenden gets TOTALLY NAKED to raise cancer awareness

She may not have coped very well but there’s no doubt Gemma Collins was entertaining during her time in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

After her departure earlier this week, some questioned her replacement when it was announced former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden was joining the show, with one viewer tweeting: “@JakeQuickenden not a celeb. What a joke this is becoming.”

But here’s the proof in picture form he doesn’t even need to open his mouth to keep us entertained.

The hunky singer has stripped off for Cosmopolitan to raise awareness for Cancer Research UK, a charity that is very close to his heart.

He said: ”I’ve lost my dad and brother to cancer – it affects everyone somehow.

“My brother Oliver had Osteosarcoma (a form of bone cancer), once he was told it was terminal he was determined to live a normal life where he could, which is why he proposed to his girlfriend before he passed away at 19.

“He showed me that you have to live every single day as if it’s your last. Follow your dreams and if you’re in love with someone tell them because you don’t know what’s around the corner.”

Jake has never been shy when it comes to taking off his clothes, with his X Factor mentor Mel B telling him to keep his six-pack covered during his time on the show.

But Jake got the jitters when it came to peeling off for this latest shoot, saying: “Posing naked for Cosmo was nerve-wracking but I’d do anything for a charity like this because it’s so close to my heart.

“Cancer Research UK are working so hard trying to find a cure and one day it will happen. In the meantime, men and women should check themselves for lumps and if anything doesn’t feel right you need to get it checked out as quickly as possible.”

Good work, Jake!
