Former X Factor star Jake Quickenden revealed he once suffered from an obsessive compulsive disorder following a footballing accident.

The 27-year-old appeared on Loose Women on Friday morning and said: 'I used to wash my hands so much, they used to bleed. I was so freaked out by germs.

'I would pick a mug up, then it would be in the back of my mind that I'd touched that - and mum got me out of it. She said I don't need to be obsessed with germs.'
