Jake Quickenden has claimed he was turned away from the Petersham Nurseries restaurant in Covent Garden and described the treatment he received as 'disgusting'.
The former X Factor star, 30, took to his Instagram stories to tell followers he went to the popular venue after running in the London Landmarks Half Marathon and was turned away at the door.
He said: 'Just tried to go to the Petersham Nurseries for some food [in] Covent Garden and they turned us away.

'They looked me up and down and went, "no, we're full". There was tables everywhere. There [were] tables outside.'
Jake then went on to describe the women at the front of the restaurant as 'posh' and 'rich' and advised his followers not to eat there.
He said: 'The two ladies on the front, typical posh, rich, looked down their noses at us. Please never ever go to the Petersham Nurseries. Disgusting.'
MailOnline has contacted a representative for the Petersham Nurseries for comment and a representative for Jake for further comment.
