Jake Quickenden splits from fiancée Danielle Fogarty seven months after proposing
DANCING on Ice hunk Jake Quickenden has split from fiancée Danielle Fogarty seven months after popping the question.
I can reveal the pair called time on their three-year romance during a break in Rome on Tuesday.
The split comes after a series of explosive rows over Jake’s partying with newly single Love Island hunk and Dancing On Ice co-star Kem Cetinay. Danielle, daughter of superbike legend Carl, who Jake befriended during their time together in the I’m A Celeb jungle in 2014, is distraught.
A source said: “Jake and Danielle have been joined at the hip since her dad introduced them. But winning Dancing On Ice has meant Jake’s had other priorities. He’s been touring the country with Kem on the show’s tour and getting a lot of female attention, which hasn’t been easy for Danielle.
“Things aren’t going to get any easier on that front either, with Jake set to join The Dreamboys strip group. It’s caused a lot of friction and they’ve both decided to take a breather.
“They are now in the UK and are spending time with their families. The wedding is very much off for now.”
In awkward timing for the pair, they were due to pose for a glossy mag feature yesterday but sent photographers packing. Jake and Danielle have looked every inch the perfect couple since they fell for each other in 2015, when Jake was taken into the Fogarty fold.
Jake and Foggy hit it off in the jungle when Jake came second to the motorcycle ace. But Jake, who proposed in September, hinted at issues in his relationship during his stint on ITV’s Dancing On Ice in January. He was crowned winner with skate partner Vanessa Bauer but admitted his five-hour daily rehearsals had left him too tired to make love.
He said at the time: “At the minute I’m quite knackered. My groin is injured and I’m in pain, so it’s on hold at the minute. I’m trying to protect my groin.”
He’d best keep away from Danielle for the time being then.

Naughty Boy has teamed up with rising star Ray Blk and Wyclef Jean for new track All Or Nothing.
The catchy tune, from the superstar producer’s second album, was inspired by a bitter text message from an ex.
Cheeky Katy
Katy Perry’s naked paddle-boarding boyfriend Orlando Bloom isn’t the only one in their relationship in need of some digital censorship.
American Idol telly bosses were forced to slap the show’s logo over her bottom, above, after she split her silver jumpsuit trousers on Monday’s show.
Her face dropped, below, as she announced: “I just split my pants.”
Co-judge Lionel Richie jumped in to cover up the superstar, top, singer before producers helped to repair the rip with tape. That won’t have harmed the viewing figures
Ed tops the Bill
Ed Sheeran is set to clean up at America’s Billboard Music Awards next month after being nominated in a massive 15 categories.
Hip-hop king Kendrick Lamar has matched him on 15, after winning the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his album Damn this week.

The bash will air on NBC and broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 20, with performers and presenters yet to be revealed.
Vegas isn’t a bad place to raise a few glasses after.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle better start practising scaling their palace walls – as Ninja Warrior host Rochelle Humes wants a royal special of the ITV show.

Liam has another iDENtity
HIS attempts to become pop’s bad boy have turned out to be a bit comic so far.
So it was fitting that Liam Payne dressed as Beano nuisance Dennis the Menace while out in London yesterday.
All he’s missing is Gnasher.
Simply the best
I SENT Bizarre’s theatre critic Benjy Potter to watch the huge new Tina Turner musical, which was unveiled in London last night.
Here he gives the show at the Aldwych Theatre a first review...
Tina Turner’s stratospheric rise to fame is captured with sheer perfection in this rip-roaring high-octane rock concert which hardly takes a minute to come up for air.Broadway’s Adrienne Warren slips into Tina’s iconic fringed flapper dresses with ease belting out every note like the star herself is in the room.And she was last night.
Tina beamed as she saw her life story portrayed on stage by Adrienne and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith as ex-husband Ike Turner in an emotional rollercoaster at this world premiere. Hits including River Deep Mountain High, Proud Mary and Private Dancer were all present and correct.Even if at times her lesser known songs felt somewhat shoe horned into the piece.
It’s a story with light and shade covering the horrific domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of husband Ike and now, more than ever, Tina’s triump against him feels relevant in light of the MeToo movement.
Beg, borrow or steal a tickets...it’s Simply The Best.

bra-no

insta karma
Love Island’s Olivia Buckland has said she’s sorry for making a homophobic slur after writing “homos” under a topless Instagram snap of her fiancé Alex Bowen and his best mate Brad. She told New: “Knowing I’d upset people made me cry and feel so guilty. I’m not homophobic.”

Victoria Beckham is more Sporty Spice than Posh since becoming a mum. Of her daily two-hour exercise regime, the former Spice Girl told Grazia: “I do half my workout, take the kids to school, then go back and finish my workout before I go to work. We’re quite a sporty family.”
belfie boost
SELFIE-obsessed Lauren Goodger has shared how to emulate her “perfect” belfies. In her Now column, she said: “I tend to hold the camera around the back, legs together but one very slightly in front of the other. Make sure there’s a slight arch to the back and lightly tense your bum cheeks.”
