You know Jake Quickenden off of The X Factor, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Dancing on Ice and Dreamboys fame? Well, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show, he's heading off on tour across the country with Hair The Musical.

A man of many talents, is Quickenden.

Yep - taking a break from posing in his pants on Instagram (we're not complaining πŸ‘€) Jake will join the likes of Marcus Collins and Hollyoaks star Daisy Wood-Davis in the production; and he's set to get fully NAKED.

Chatting about taking on the role of George Berger in the show, Jake said: "That's why I'm posing around in my pants a lot. Those pants have got to come off in the musical, mate; so I'm getting ready for it.

"I go full frontal. Full nude. I'm really nervous. I'm thinking 'I got a hair transplant, I might need something else transplanted. Obviously it's not like Dreamboys; I won't be running around helicoptering it; it's gonna be done really good and nice.

"It's an iconic part of the show. It'll be taken seriously."

Chatting about the show's big milestone, Jake added: "Fifty years, Hair has been going. I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to play such a great character in George Berger.

"He's the heartthrob or the loose cannon of the thing. That's what I am, the loose cannon, so it's all good. Perfect casting."
