Did Jake Quickenden’s girlfriend only find out he’d dumped her when he went into the I’m A Celebrity jungle?

Oh god. Oh no. It's Ross and Rachel all over again, except this time with more kangaroo testicles. X Factor reject Jake Quickenden apparently told his girlfriend he wanted to go on a break while he went into the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle... then promptly dumped her.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Jake's ex Victoria Skerrow was completely shocked when the singer told viewers he was a single man, because they hadn't even talked about officially splitting.

A source told the paper: "Jake asked for a break of a couple of weeks. To say she was upset about his behaviour is an understatement. He may want to stay friends but I'm not sure she'll be able to after the way he dumped her so publicly."

Fair. But Jake's rep said the 26-year-old "will put his side of the story across when he leaves the jungle", so we're hoping there's another side to this story and it won't turn into a ten-year sitcom series culminating in an accidental pregnancy, a potential move abroad and a heart-wrenching scene in which one of them does or does not decide to get off a plane. We'll keep you posted either way.

Tune into I'm A Celebrity tonight at 9pm on ITV, after the X Factor results show.
