I’M A Celebrity star Jake Quickenden has enjoyed a family day out at the fair with his kids following his shock split from his “soulmate” wife Sophie Church.
Sources confirmed to The Sun last week that Jake and Sophie, who share two children together, have formerly separated.
The pair married in 2022 but called it quits earlier this month, telling their friends and family.
The source told us they “remain incredibly amicable” and their “main priority is the kids.”
Jake has been spotted in dad mode this bank holiday weekend as he took his sons Leo, 5, 16-month-old Kit and Freddie, 10 – Sophie’s son from a previous relationship – on a fun day out.
The family were spotted grinning from ear-to-ear as they posed in front of a handful of stalls at the fair.

In one snap, Jake was seen sitting on a carousel clutching his youngest son as they soaked up the weekend vibes.
The kids enjoyed playing games at the fair and even came away from the trip with a few teddy bears to their name.
Toddler Kit looked over-the-moon in another picture as he played with the ducks in the hook-a-duck pond.
Elsewhere, Jake, 36, was seen taking a dip with his kids in a splash pool – the family certainly had a jam-packed day.
Underneath his Instagram post, one fan wrote: “It looks like you had a lovely day with your boys @jakequickenden making memories.“
Another fan penned: “You’re a great dad Jake, so glad you all had fun x”
Former X Factor star Jake and his ex Sophie are fully committed to being the best parents possible during this tough time.
They called time on their romance after growing apart.
A source said: “Over time, they started to grow apart and Jake and Sophie have had some long and honest conversations about this.
“While they might not be together any more, they are still on great terms and are looking to the future, co-parenting together. Maintaining a happy and supportive family unit together is their focus now.”
Singer Jake recently broke his silence on the split after he replied to a fan who said: “Whatever is happening the kids have the best parents ever…dad and mum who love them so much!
“I hope things work out for the best! Positively you way!”
Jake replied: “Appreciate that, they are all that matter.”
Influencer Sophie and Jake first began dating in 2018 and proposed three years later in Rhodes, Greece.
