Jake Quickenden was every inch the proud dad as he dressed son Leo up as Woody from Toy Story.

The X Factor star welcomed his first child with girlfriend Sophie Church at the beginning of the year – with the tot attacked by vile trolls ever since.

He recently revealed online abusers told them to drown the little one, with others commenting on his looks.

Ignoring the grim comments, Jake celebrated Leo’s 10-week birthday in the cutest way, by decking him out in a Pixar costume.

And the 32-year-old couldn’t resist following suit, rocking a Buzz Lightyear outfit for the day. 

Taking to Instagram, he shared an adorable snap of the pair with fans, alongside the message: ‘I will love you to infinity and beyond!! Just me and Woody chilling out!!

‘This kid gets cuter and cuter by the second! He was weighted today and was bang on 10LB and today he is 10 weeks old, so we celebrated by watching Toy Story dressed like toy story. 

‘Everyone has opinions on parenting it’s something I’ve noticed but at the end of the day we all just want the best for our children and we would do anything for them, I don’t judge anyone’s decisions like I say we all do things differently, trust me on this though Leo will always come first no matter what.’

Jake has been open about the vile response he received from online followers, following the little one’s birth.

Trolls told the new dad that his child needed ‘Botox’ and is ‘weird looking’, with the singer recently calling for the laws around social media to change.

Chatting to new! Magazine, he said: ‘It really shocked me. I’m used to people trolling me, but because I don’t respond to them, they saw an opportunity to target Leo instead.

‘It hurt, but you have to ask yourself, “Why are people doing this?” 

‘Sophie received one saying, “Why don’t you drown your baby.” Something must change with the online laws.’
