Dancing On Ice winner Jake Quickenden shocked fans last month when it was revealed he'd split from his fiancée Danielle Fogarty.

Now, whilst promoting his upcoming appearance in The Dreamboys, Jake has opened up and updated fans about the pair's relationship.

Appearing on Lorraine this morning (Wednesday 2nd May), Jake revealed the pair are having time apart to focus on being busy. He told Lorraine Kelly, "We're having a bit of time apart, kind of dealing with ourselves, and work, and being busy. I've got so much respect for Dan and her family and everything they've done. For me it's just about taking some time out and seeing what happens really."

He then added, "But like I said, there's not a bad word. I was with her on Monday, we still talk and I still love her to bits, but sometimes you've got to go away to come back."

Reports first started about their split back in mid-April after they returned from a holiday to Rome. According to a source, an insider revealed that the pair were having 'rows' over Jake's new partying lifestyle with fellow Dancing On Ice star Kem Cetinay.

Despite the couple taking time out from their relationship, the pair will be hoping that they can sort things out after Jake popped the question last year.

Jake first met Danielle when he struck up a friendship with her dad Carl Fogarty when they appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here back in 2014. After leaving the jungle in second place behind Carl, Jake started a relationship with Danielle and later asked her to marry him in September last year.

Popping the question on his 29th birthday, Jake admitted he was lost for words when he got down on one knee, due to the fact that he was so overcome with emotion.

Danielle then showed her support for Jake when he appeared on Dancing On Ice in January this year. Attending the live shows every week, Danielle watched on as the former X Factor star stunned the judges to win the competition with his dance partner Vanessa Bauer.
