Jake Quickenden sparks Strictly Come Dancing speculation with 'blatantly obvious' tweet

Jake Quickenden has sent his fans into meltdown by sparking rumours he's set to join the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 line-up.

The 33-year-old star - who has already appeared on I'm A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice - got tongues wagging after he took to Twitter on Wednesday to ask a blatant question about Strictly.

The TV star, who first shot to fame on The X Factor, sent his fans into a frenzy when he tweeted: "Has anyone who’s done dancing on ice ever done @bbcstrictly just wondering."

In response to his cheeky tweet, former Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman replied as he confirmed that he had appeared on both shows.

Actor John replied back: "Yes I did dancing on ice 1st series and strictly xmas special."

And John's response excited Jake's fans even further as they flocked to Twitter to gush over how 'fantastic' Jake would be if he were given the opportunity to strut his stuff on the Strictly dancefloor.

"Omg that would be fantastic, have you ever been asked?" one fan replied.

"Jake would be bloody amazing on Strictly," another gushed.

Meanwhile, a third chimed: "I can totally see you on Strictly next year. Here's hoping."

If Jake were to bag a spot on the Strictly 2022 line-up, he would be joining the likes of Jason Donovan, Denise Van Outen, Rachel Stevens, and Brendan Cole, who all appeared on Dancing On Ice as well as Strictly Come Dancing.

After doing the rounds of the reality TV circuit - X Factor and I'm A Celebrity - Jake signed up to Dancing On Ice in 2018 and went all the way to the final.

His triumph came after the show returned to our screens after a five year hiatus.

Jake went on big things following his win after landing a part in Hair The Musical and securing a number of presenting jobs.

He also used his expertise to lead the male stars on The Real Full Monty on Ice last year to raise money for a cause close to his heart.

While his career took off after the skating show, Jake's personal life took a hit when he split with fiancée of seven months Danielle Fogarty weeks after the final having spent three years together.

At the time it was reported that the pair had been locked in a series of explosive rows over Jake's partying with his Dancing On Ice co-star Kem Cetinay leaving Danielle distraught.

He later moved on with now fiancée Sophie Church, with the pair welcoming son Leo in 2021.
