X Factor gave me my career, I’m a Celeb gave me a fiancee... maybe I’ll have a reality TV wedding too

Robbie Fowler mentioned it to.”

And from X Factor? He’s more vague here but mentions Ben Haenow, who won the 2014 show, as a good friend. It’s easy to see why Jake has so many real-life friends from his reality career. He’s a very sweet bloke.

“It’s nice I’ve kept in touch with people. You do these things together and it’s like a bit of a journey,” he says, without irony.

He laughs when I suggest the guest list is a Who’s Who of reality TV and says: “It I’ve is like a reality show. I might see if ITV wants to come and film the night do because it is a bit of a reality mix-up. It would be fun, wouldn’t it? “Danielle is so easy-going she’d be like, ‘Jake, you do what you want’. It’s worth mentioning. It can only get turned down – like the horse.” Arriving on a horse was one of Jake’s bright wedding ideas. But it was rejected by Danielle and her dad Carl. Jake says: “Carl said the horse wasn’t a great idea. It’d be sitting outside the place, which is true.” Before his passion for singing and song-writing led him to X Factor, Jake played football in the youth team at Scunthorpe United and then in Australia for two years.

His first attempt at X Factor ended at Judge’s Houses but in 2014 he got as far as week three under Mel B’s mentorship.

Then he went into the jungle and came second to soon-to-be dad-in-law Foggy.

Now he’s on a mission to be a winner in his latest reality outing. And I find myself genuinely, really, really wishing him well. Although I can’t help myself asking: “What reality show next?” “Masterchef,” he giggles.

Dancing On Ice, ITV, 6pm, tomorrow.
