Jake Quickenden moves fans to tears with 'beautiful' gesture for his late father and brother on his wedding day

Jake Quickenden moved fans to tears with a 'beautiful' gesture as he prepared to marry his fiance Sophie Church. The excited Dancing On Ice 2018 winner and former I'm A Celebrity and The X Factor star looked nervous as he prepared to say his vows.

As the dashing groom gathered himself before saying 'I do' his pal Chris Hughes filmed the special moment, and he zoomed in on a touching gesture. Jake had added a sweet detail to his dapper beige suit - a pin bearing photographs of his late father and brother and words written in tribute to his loved ones.

"Dad and Oliver I know you would be here today if you weren't in heaven so far away," the messaged read. As former Love Island star Chris read them out loud he told Jake: "It's a lovely little touch." And an emotional Jake told him: "You're making me cry. Come on, Let's get married."
