Jake Quickenden marries Sophie Church in lavish Ibiza ceremony

Jake Quickenden has tied the knot with Sophie Church in a stunning wedding ceremony in Ibiza.

The X Factor star Jake, 34, gushed about his upcoming nuptials the day before the big day as he celebrated his birthday on Saturday September 3.

Posting a photo of himself surrounded by his family Jake, who shares son Leo with Sophie, wrote in the caption: "34 years young today and the most blessed I have ever been…. Get to marry my best friend tomorrow, with family and friends surrounding us!!"

Jake paid tribute to his dad and brother, who both tragically died of bone cancer as he said: "Missing a couple of special people but they will be watching down!!"

After exchanging vows in the sizzling Ibiza heat, Jake grinned from ear to ear in a video shared by Marcel Somerville's wife Rebecca, which she shared on her Instagram story.

In the clip, Jake announced: "Just married, just married!"

Groom Jake is wearing a light grey suit with a matching tie and white shirt along with a pink rose in his lapel.

Meanwhile Rebecca, who wed Love Island star Marcel last month, shared snaps and videos from the nuptials to give fans an inside look.

Photos show the couple opted for a neutral colour scheme as a big welcome sign hangs on a gold frame and dons the words: "Welcome to our adventure" on.

Meanwhile giant light up letters spelling out the word 'love' are placed behind a bright blue swimming pool.

And a photo of the dining area shows two long tables dressed in a crisp white table cloth along with a beige runner and plates at each setting along with a menu, cutlery, plates and a napkin.

White and pale pink roses were placed in vases along the table while wooden chairs were placed in front of each setting.

Rebecca's former Blazin' Squad star husband Marcel also shared videos and photos from the special day.

Marcel gave a glimpse of the menu showing guests had three options to choose from for a stater which included a traditional Spanish sharing board, steam aubergine and Peri Peri garlic prawns.

Jake announced his engagement to Sophie on Instagram last year.

He popped the question during a holiday to Rhodes, Greece.

The former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! contestant shared an image of himself and Sophie kissing beside the blue ocean on their break.

Jake penned on Instagram: "She said yes."

He also added: "The love of my life the mother to my beautiful Leo and Freddie, I love you so much… this isn't a drill it's actually happening."

Jake and Sophie began dating in 2018 and announced they were set to welcome their first child together two years later in 2020.

Sophie then welcomed their son Leo in February 2021. Jake is also a stepdad to Sophie's son Freddie from a previous relationship.
