Strictly Come Dancing's Jamie Laing 'Answers The Internet'
Jamie Laing on his wedding plans with Habbs, Strictly & being compared to Boris Johnson
After picking up a nasty foot injury in 2019, Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing was forced to drop out of Strictly Come Dancing, with his replacement Kelvin Fletcher actually going on to win the series with processional dancer Oti Mabuse.
But luckily for Jamie, bosses invited the reality star to return for the 2020 series, pairing him alongside the lovely Karen Hauer. And despite finding himself in the bottom two once, Jamie is getting on just fine on Strictly, impressing both the judges and viewers at home with his moves.
Following his impressive Samba to 'Bamboleo', Jamie caught up with our friends over at Heatworld, where he answered the Internet's biggest questions about the show, his plans with girlfriend Sophie Habboo, and being compared to... BORIS JOHNSON!
When a fan compared him to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Jamie said, "It's probably the hair and being a little bit of a buffoon, maybe that's what it is. I'm hoping it's not my dancing ability, but I can see the resemblance for sure."
And after Jamie previously said in an interview that he would propose to his girlfriend and MIC co-star Habbs if he gets crowned the winner of Strictly, the 32-year-old was quick to reveal she got very 'cross' about that, but he did confirm to a fan that the wedding would be bigger than the Royal wedding. 🤣
Check out all of the Made In Chelsea couples you completely forgot were ever together:
1. Jamie Laing and Louise Thompson
Remember when Jamie and Louise dated (much to Spencer's dismay) in 2012. Louise then left Jamie for Spencer, causing a very traumatic love triangle indeed. Poor Jamie.
2. Binky Felstead and Jamie Laing
Binks may be loving life now with her three kids, but remember when she dated Jamie Laing?!? Yes, we forgot too. After years of friendship, the two found it difficult to transition to an actual relationship, so decided to call it a day.
3. Lucy Watson and Jamie Laing
Jamie and Lucy were together for a bit, and would even delight us with scenes of them walking their dogs together. Not one for holding back, Lucy Watson has called the show 'incestuous' and she 'no longer wants to waste time with people like Jamie and Proudlock'. BURN.
4. Lucy Watson and Proudlock
Ah yes, Lucy and Proudlock. They were the most swoon-worthy couple in SW3... Oh, until Lucy found out that Proudlock was dating other women.
5. Ollie Locke and Chloe Green
Topshop Heiress Chloe Green joined the MIC lot in 2011 to date Ollie Locke. As we're sure you remember, Ollie had previously dated Gabby, who he broke up with to explore his feelings for men, only to then end up with another woman. Fair to say it did not go down well...
6. Rosie Fortescue and Hugo Taylor
When Hugo was dating Millie Mackintosh in the show, he hooked up with her best friend Rosie. Millie then infamously outed the pair, as she raised her glass to a party full of guests and said 'cheers to friendship'. As we now know, Millie and Hugo reunited - now married with kids!
7. Spencer Matthews and Lucy Watson
Remember when Spenny took Lucy to Paris in 2013? And we almost believed he had given up his womanising ways. Well, we were wrong, and he admitted to cheating on Lucy with several women. Sigh.
8. Spencer Matthews and Louise Thompson
Louise joined the show in season one as Spencer's (very despairing) girlfriend. Spencer being Spencer, couldn't stay faithful and resulted in a fair few teary scenes between the pair - including THAT infamous breakup scene by Putney Bridge.
9. Alex Mytton and Binky Felstead
Binky and Alex were love's young dream (kinda) for two years, with fans over the moon the show-favourite had found her match - until his constant cheating became unforgivable and the pair split.
You can watch Jamie continue his Strictly Come Dancing journey every Saturday night on BBC One.
