We spoke to Jake today who exclusively told us what it is about Olly that makes him so inspirational.
He told us: "He's just a legend. He's just a similar lad to me who likes to have a laugh."
"He's doing something that he loves to do and it's got him very, very far. To me he is the ultimate one."
Last night saw Jake make it through to the final 24 contestants, something that the 21-year-old couldn't quite comprehend at the time.
He explained: "It was unbelievable, I never really excepted it because everyone there was so talented, when they read my name out I was buzzing."
However, it wasn't an easy road to Judges houses for Jake.

On day one of Bootcamp, Jake was paired with Adam and Robbie to perform a sing off. As the three started singing, Robbie forgot his words and abruptly walked off, leaving the two boys to finish the song.
When Robbie left the stage, Jake admits that he was more than a little concerned.
He admitted: "I was pretty scared because I knew that I had lyrics coming up- there was a lot going on around me while I also had to remember my lyrics."
"But I also felt a bit sorry for Robbie, I did actually want all three of us to go through. To me it wasn't a competition that bit. To me, I thought we could help each other get through."

Unfortunately for Robbie it was the end of the road but for Adam and Jake, Nicole's house awaited, something Jake was very pleased about.
He said: "Nicole is beautiful and she obviously knows what she's talking about and she's an amazing judge."
"I was happy to get her but I'd have been happy with any judge- I was happy to just be there!"
