Jake Quickenden “never washed” during his appearance on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The 35-year-old pop star took part in ITV’s jungle show in 2014, appearing alongside stars such as Melanie Sykes, Edwina Currie and Craig Charles. Jake admitted he had no worries about hygiene during his stay in the camp, not even running out of his basic supply of shampoo and soap.

He told OK! magazine: “You get a soap, a packet of shampoo and a deodorant that smell of nothing, and a toothbrush and toothpaste that taste of nothing. I never ran out of anything because I never washed!”

Jake also didn’t bother washing his clothes, preferring to go without underpants for most of his time on the TV show. He added: “I only packed two (pairs) of underwear. I wore half of them without underwear. I didn’t wash my clothes often, it was too much for me. They smelled of smoke and that smell wouldn’t wash out.”

However, Jake admitted that he may have smelled particularly bad because it was his job to empty the outside toilet every day.

He explained: “It was my job the whole time. It had to be lifted up and emptied and I was the biggest and strongest. If you weren’t careful, it would spill around and you would be covered in sperm.”

Jake previously admitted that he tried to talk to crew members during filming, but they were ordered not to interact with the celebrities. However, Jake remained persistent and even tried to get them to tell him the football scores.

He told Betway: “I remember one of them had Tic Tacs and I was like, ‘Can I have a Tic Tac please? (But) he wasn’t allowed to talk to me and he wasn’t allowed to give me one’… I used to ask them about the football scores but they never spoke to you. You see people all day but it’s like you’re invisible.”
