Jake has also entered the world of showbusiness and is the lead singer of indie band Push Baby, formerly Rixton, best known for their No. 1 hit, Me and My Broken Heart. In 2022, Jake and his co-star, Charley Bagnall, confirmed the band was on hiatus as they pursued other interests.
The 31-year-old is also an accomplished actor having appeared in shows like Emmerdale, Scott & Bailey, Finding Neverland, and he even portrayed Paul McCartney in an episode of Little Crackers.
Jake is currently believed to be single, however, the star has dated a major star in the past: Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson. Jake even proposed to the singer in 2015, however, in 2016 the pair confirmed they had split up. Although the pair haven't officially confirmed why they split, it's rumoured they clashed over Jesy's desire to start a family.
Ciara

Back in January, Coleen revealed on Loose Women that her daughter and her boyfriend had decided to travel the globe without a set return date. "They've worked really hard and saved up and I'm so proud of them both and her, but honestly, I just can't stop crying," she told her fellow panellists. "But I'm trying not to do it in front of her because I'm thrilled and I'm proud because what an amazing thing to do. But it's like losing my best friend."
Coleen's partner Michael

Coleen met Michael on Tinder in 2021 with the pair hitting it off, however the pair called time on their relationship in April 2022, but said they would "remain close". Rumours of the pair getting back together started in August 2023 when Michael was seen supporting the mum-of-three during her appearance in the touring show, The Full Monty.

Opening up about their previous split, Coleen explained: "It was my fault we kept splitting up. I think because he was very different to my ex-husbands and people I've been out with. He was very attentive and romantic, and at first, I just didn't know what to do with it. It kind of freaked me out a bit. I thought, I don't know why he loves me as much – it was just me."
The singer continued: "Then every time I kind of finished it, I'd miss him so much, then eventually I thought I just need to sort my head out and accept that I deserve to be and can be loved like that. So we got back together, and it's been brilliant and I'm in a much better place."
