WOOD1 JAKE
Bow down, guys, because the ginger prince of Walford is the Weird Crush king
Four years in a row now, Jake – what’s your secret?
I’m not sure. As you can see, I’m just speechless. I don’t think anyone could foresee me winning it four years in a row.
Did you do much campaigning?
I was very low-key this year. Quietly confident. I think I sent one tweet. I wasn’t expecting to win, so once again, I have to pay tribute to my fellow competitors. There are some really strange fellas in there – I’m just proud I’m the most fanciable weird-looking fella out of all of them.
Has your grooming regime changed since winning last year? Facials, plucking, waxing?
Not much. The hair routine is pretty similar – no change there. I’m still in the gym, boxing and keeping fit. I don’t know what it is – I was born with these weird good looks, and I’m very proud of them.
Are you worried that you’re the Ant & Dec of Weird Crush and people will think there’s no point taking part?
Yeah, we’re getting to that point, aren’t we? I have no problem with that. I do think we should rename it the Jake Wood Award, I’d be honoured. Obviously, these guys have their work cut out. I wish them luck for the next year, but they have stiff competition.
Have you even got room for this award?
Well, my wife’s said she doesn’t want any more bits of plastic in the house – a certificate might be good, or a yearly subscription to the No1 entertainment magazine in the UK!
Any final words?
I just want to say again, I’m humbled. I was shocked last year. This year, I’m speechless. Thanks to everyone for voting. This means so much to me. I think I need to go and have a cup of tea.
