Jake Quickenden has been confirmed to be entering the jungle in ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Just four weeks ago, Jake was singing as a finalist in The X Factor before being the fifth act to be eliminated from the competition.
This got us thinking. This must be the quick(enden)est time that an X Factor finalist has found themselves on a different reality TV show so far - but which other acts traded series after attempting to secure a contract with Syco? Here they all are in order of time taken to do so.
1. Jake Quickenden (4 weeks)
Series: 2014
Finished: 12th
After reaching the Judges' Houses in 2012, Quickenden made it to the final 16 this year. He tried desperately to prove that he wasn't just a pretty face with a ripped physique, but it hasn't taken him long to get his kit off for his pre-I'm a Celebrity photoshoot.

Dancing on Ice may be over, but people who are missing their skating fix will be pleased to hear that the show's professionals are going on tour this autumn.
Matt Evers and Vicky Ogden have arranged the tour, which will visit Planet Ice and Silver Blades venues across the country in October and November.
They will be joined by Dancing on Ice stars Brianne Delcourt, Andy Buchanan, Robin Johnstone, Mark Hanretty, Sylvain Longchambon, Maria Filippov, Frankie Poultney, Alexandra Schauman and Lukasz Rozycki, with more skaters expected to be announced in the future.
Meanwhile, the skaters promise that the show will include fire, dangerous moves and popular music - along with some "celebrity guest skaters".

Dancing on Ice star Frankie Poultney has given her opinion on Jorgie Porter and Sylvain Longchambon's exit from the show.
The pro skater - who was eliminated from the All-Stars series with partner and fiancé David Seaman on Sunday (January 12) - said that she was "horrified" when Longchambon and Porter received the lowest number of votes the previous week.
The French professional previously dated Porter's Hollyoaks co-star Jennifer Metcalfe, but later left her for his Dancing on Ice partner Samia Ghadie.
When Porter discovered on last week's (January 5) show that she would be paired with Longchambon for this year's All-Star series, she was visibly uncomfortable and joked: "Does that mean I'm going to be his new girlfriend?" The tension between them was also emphasised in the Vt shown before they took to the ice.

David Seaman and Gary Lucy have become the latest celebrities to leave Dancing on Ice All-Stars.
The pair follow in the footsteps of Jorgie Porter and Joe Pasquale, who exited the ITV competition after last Sunday's (January 5) first show.
Seaman and his partner Frankie Poultney received the lowest number of public votes, meaning they left the competition straight away.
Gary Lucy and partner Katie Stainsby then had to battle it out in the skate-off with Sam Attwater and Vicky Ogden to decide who remained in the show.
Lucy skated to Daughtry's 'What About Now', while Attwater performed a Riverdance for their Save Me Skate.
Three judges voted to save Attwater, meaning that he will be back to skate again.
Head judge Robin Cousins added that he would also have voted to save Attwater.

We're excited about Dancing on Ice returning on Sunday, but it's a little bittersweet given that this will be the final series. Still, the show is definitely going out with a bang with an All-Star cast - including six winners.
We caught up with all the stars at the show's launch this week - with the exception of Joe Pasquale, who genuinely had to rush off to panto - so read on to find out how training is going, what Jorgie really thinks of being paired with Sylvain, and whose secret weapon is... farting?
Suzanne Shaw
Original series and position: Winner in series three (2008)
Professional partner: Matt Evers
"Oh, wouldn't it be lovely to replicate my perfect score? Whether I will or not, I don't know. I've been away in Bristol for quite a while so I haven't seen anyone compete or skate, so I don't know what level I'm at.

The DJ fronts Radio 1′s breakfast show each morning with larger than life Chris Moyles and canvasses for votes on a regular basis.
After repeatedly coming at the bottom of the leaderboard, yet consistently avoiding the skate off, Gardiner thinks it’s time for his fans to stop voting and Comedy Dave to leave.
He told The Sun:
The act’s wearing a bit thin with me. His one joke “I’m Comedy Dave” just isn’t funny any more. He’s a clown, a caricature of himself, and that’s no way to progress. If Chris Moyles didn’t plug him, he’d be out.

Comedy Dave Vitty made his Dancing On Ice debut on tonight’s second show.
The Radio One DJ seemed to be struggling a little in his practice Vt and was obviously worried about performing live this evening. He previously admitted that hypnotherapist Paul Mckenna was trying to help him overcome his nerves.
Dave has been paired with professional skater Frankie Poultney for the series and though we aren’t fond of her grumpy mug, she has done a good job training the star. His routine was smoother than we expected and contained more independent skating than we thought he was capable of. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible and for the minute he’s sitting somewhere in the middle of the pack.

This year, the skaters will face a number of twists and turns – and not just in their routines. Only 12 places will be available on Dancing on Ice 2011 but we start with 16 star skaters. This means two skaters will leave in each of the first and second shows, before the competition has even got going – and it will be the public who decides who gets to stay! The new look format means the skaters have everything to gain from the moment they set foot on the ice and must give their very best in performance otherwise they may find themselves going home early.
There will also be 11 new pro-skaters joining the sixth series with show favourites; Matt Evers, Daniel Whiston, Frankie Poultney, Maria Filippov and Brianne Delcourt.

Danny Young was voted off 'Dancing On Ice' last night (14.03.10). The former 'Coronation Street' star - who was in the bottom two of the ITV show alongside 'Hollyoaks' actor Kieron Richardson after receiving the fewest public votes - stumbled with his bowler hat at the end of his skate-off routine, costing him a place in the semi-finals. The 23-year-old actor was so disorientated following his slip-up, he still hadn’t finished his routine with his professional dance partner Frankie Poultney when the music had stopped. He said: ''It let us down a little bit, but what will be will be. I've had an amazing ..

Danny Young has become the tenth celebrity to be voted off this series of Dancing On Ice. The actor and his professional partner Frankie Poultney found themselves in the skate-off alongside Kieron Richardson and Brianne Delcourt after the judges' scores and viewers' votes had been added together. Both couples then had to repeat their "prop week" routines to persuade judges Karen Barber, Nicky Slater, Jason Gardiner, Emma Bunton and Robin Cousins to keep them in the competition. During his routine, Young dropped his hat and later said: "What will be will be. I've had an amazing time." (more)...

Ah, as we near the end of this series of Dancing On Ice, we’ve reached “Prop Week”, where the required element is for the skaters to include a prop in their routine – a mic stand, hats, and stuff like that. Torvill and Dean give us an example with a couple of cowboy hats, and worryingly, it’s quite a rough routine – it doesn’t have their usual flow or polish. Uh-oh!
Hollywatch: What’s Holly wearing this week? Well, it’s a pastel pink dress, which would be rather elegant, except for the inclusion of what looks like silver tinsel framing Holly’s boob-area.Pretty, but we take marks off for the tinsel disaster.

There’s a very suave intro routine to Luck Be A Lady, which set the pace beautifully. Torvill and Dean announce the required element, which is a Solo Spin, and they’ve required that each skater must spin twice.

There’s a very suave intro routine to Luck Be A Lady, which set the pace beautifully. Torvill and Dean announce the required element, which is a Solo Spin, and they’ve required that each skater must spin twice.

Hello Dancing On Ice fans! Last week we lost Sharron Davies after she ignored the advice of the verable Messrs Torvill and Dean. We hope her shoulder is recovering Only 7 skating couples remain – and with most of the weaker competition eliminated at this point, will Emily Atack finally fall foul of the public vote.
But first, this week’s Hollywatch – she’s wearing a glamorous frock as usual, but it looks like the dress has slipped down about four inches from where it should be. Not that I’m complaining, ladies and gentlemen, I’m a big supporter of Holly’s cleavage…
The show is opened by a beautiful routine by Torvill and Dean with music provided by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Katherine Jenkins. They’re joined by the professional skaters waving flowing white flags.

Welcome to our live coverage of tonight’s Dancing On Ice show. After an amazing Valentine’s Day episode last week, we’re more than a little bit excited to see what’s on the show this week!
Hayley Tamaddon topped the scoreboard last week, but will Gary Lucy, Daniella Westbrook or Kieron Richardson catch up with her?
And on Hollywatch this week, Ms Willoughby is wearing what looks like a bodice with a dress tacked on. Very sexy. And Torvill and Dean give another effortlessly graceful opening to the show. Tonight’s guest judge – in case you care – is former newsreader Angela Rippon.

Hayley Tamaddon and Daniel Whiston – 26.0 Daniella Westbrook and Matthew Gonzalez – 24.0 Gary Lucy and Maria Filippov – 22.5 Kieron Richardson and Brianne Delcourt – 19.5 Mikey Graham and Melanie Lambert – 18.5 Emily Atack and Fred Palascak – 17.5 Danny Young and Frankie Poultney – 17.0 Sharron Davies and...

Somehow, in a bid to make the Sunday-evening-eating monster that is Dancing On Ice even more unpalatable, ITV have chosen to hire Michael Ball to replace Robin Cousins. The five-person judging team was overloaded anyway – I’d have been happy to have a four-person panel and more of Jason Gardiner’s classic spiteful comments!
Anyway, we’re covering Dancing On Ice live tonight – this post will have judge’s comments, a scoreboard and some of my own commentary on each act. Enjoy! And leave loads of comments!

After the judges' scores and viewers' votes had been added together, the GMTV doctor and his professional partner Alexandra Schauman found themselves in the skate-off alongside Danny Young and Frankie Poultney.
