After lashing out at her contestant Jake Quickenden for not following her advice of avoiding any naked pictorial gigs, the X-Factor judge has a change of heart and instead posted a picture of Jake and Jack Walton in her Instagram on Thursday.  The said pic is made visible to the former Spice Girls 7,000 followers in the social media page.

As posted by Reveal.co.uk, the photo comes with the caption, "@jakequickenden14 @jackwaltonofficial, proud of my boys for taking the time to work out because look, it's paying off."

The post has sparked reactions from fans praising the boy's hot body and abs with emojis posted with their comments.

Last week, the Daily Mail noted that the fiery judge has been very angry at Jake after the contestant signed up for a naked pictorial shoot without her knowledge.

"I told you to keep your clothes on for at least one week," the TV personality scolded her contestant while the cameras are rolling.

Further, she said, "I'm making him eat spicy chocolate,' she said. 'It's his punishment!'" she said which afterwards prompted other shots of the uncomfortable Jake literally eating spicy chocolates.

In last week's X-factor, Jake did not get much approval from the judges for his rendition of Patrick Swayze's "She's Like the Wind" with the coaches saying he did not reach the high notes.

"You should have spent more time with your vocal coach and less time at the gym." Louis Walsh said

He also did not get a vote from X-factor head judge Simon Cowell who said, "You're a nice guy and you do look great but you were struggling with some of those high notes. It's unlikely you'll survive another week after that,' he said bluntly. 'You need to get better at singing. I'm disappointed in you."

Amidst the Spice Girl's lashing earlier, still she supported on her contestant saying she is proud of what he has achieved.

Meanwhile, Jake Quickenden remains single-minded with what really made him happy despite the X-Factor judge Mel B's temper.

In an interview, he said, "I know Mel wasn't too happy but I love getting naked. So who really cares what I do?"
