Meet Jamie Laing

Made in Chelsea's Jamie is ready to soak up Strictly all over again.

He was moments away from making his Strictly debut last year, but due to an injury in a group dance Jamie tapped out of the competition before he even got to week one. Here’s to hoping he makes it into the Ballroom without a hitch this year!

“I can't wait to wear sequins and sparkles and spandex and glitter and fake tan and everything!”

We all know him best from his Made In Chelsea days, joining the reality show back in its second series in 2011. His on-screen presence was an instant hit, leading him to appear on a whole host of shows, including Celebrity Hunted, The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer and Celebrity Juice.

Outside of our tellies, Jamie’s a food entrepreneur (much like his great grandad, the creator of the original digestive biscuit!) bringing his own gourmet sweet brand Candy Kittens to life in 2012.

He’s also the host of popular podcasts 6 Degrees from Jamie and Spencer and Private Parts, taking the latter on tour across the UK in 2018.

Now Jamie has a second chance to prove he’s got the moves to add Strictly success to his list of achievements, and he’s ready to get stuck in. “I can't wait to wear sequins and sparkles and spandex and glitter and fake tan and everything,” he said. “Honestly, that is what I do in my spare time, let alone doing it in front of millions of people!”

Don’t worry Jamie, the spray-tans and sequins are yours for the taking.
