Jake Quickenden has revealed he never thought about kissing Nadia Forde in the I’m A Celeb jungle – because she smelt too bad.
The X Factor star became close with the Dublin model during the ITV series and considers her a “good friend” but says he would have turned down any advances from her.
Asked if he wanted to snog her, the 26-year-old said: “No. We smelled like campfire and BO!” He added: “She’s a good friend and obviously pretty, but I’m not looking for love.”
No thanks: Jake had no interest in getting it on with Nadia
And even with all his flirting with Nadia, Jake admits he had no sex drive in the jungle whatsoever.
He laughed: “There was no movement down there at all! [Points to his groin.] I thought he’d died.
“I got worried at one point. I don’t know if it was lack of food, but…nothing.”
Cosy: Jake and Nadia flirted in the jungle
But while Jake may be happy being single for the moment, the former X Factor star told Heat he would date fellow jungle star Edwina Currie.
He said: “I’d go on a date with Edwina. She’s so nice and she exchanged emails with my mum and said ‘If Jake ever needs any advice, let me know.’ She’s a legend.”
He also thinks the 68-year-old politician fancied him, adding: “She had a bit of a perv over my body when I was working out”.
