Jake Quickenden’s crying baby interrupted Loose Women as he ran onto the set

Former X Factor star Jake Quickenden, who is currently appearing on the Footloose musical tour, has appeared on the ITV show to return to work as a new dad.

Jake Quickenden’s baby has interrupted filming Loose Women in the most beautiful way possible – by running to his dad to cuddle.

The former X Factor star, who is currently appearing on the Footloose musical tour, has appeared on the ITV show to talk about returning to work as a new dad.

Jake, 33, welcomed his son Oliver to fiancé Sophie Church last year and said he had changed his life.

With panelists Ruth Langsford, Jane Moore, Coleen Nolan and Sophie Morgan, he made a comment about his son’s screams behind the stage.

“He’s a bit noisy like his mom, he does not get that from me,” Jake joked before adding, “He changed my life. He’s just the most amazing little boy.”

Opening about his return to the stage, Jake said he felt he had a bit of “Imposter Syndrome” involved in such a great musical.

“It was so nice to be back on stage,” he said. “I feel like it’s a bit of Imposter Syndrome – I was on X Factor and I did not do it well, let’s be real.”

Just as Coleen insisted that he stop sitting down, Leo started crying again and was seen running towards him.

As he pinned his son on his lap, Jake explained that the hardest thing about getting back to work was the fact that he was a new dad.

“As much as I’m very grateful, I’m back on stage and in the show, I miss this little one,” he said. “It’s hard work, but you have to do what you have to do.”

Jake continues to be confronted with the horrible trolls that targeted his son last year.

“I argue and I let it affect my mental health,” he said. “He was born first, the first months were the worst.”

Some cruel social media users have decided to send the couple abusive about how his son looked, with a bully suggesting that the baby needs “Botox” and is “ugly as f ***”.

While another horrible thing Sophie told her to drown her son.

“I can not imagine a human being who means to a baby,” Jake said. “But I do not let it come to me so much now.”
