Jamie Laing ‘stepping back’ from Made In Chelsea: ‘I love that show but also I’m 32’

Jamie Laing says he is stepping back from Made In Chelsea.

Jamie has been a regular on the E4 series for a decade now but says he will be taking some time out from the show.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant share with the MailOnline: “It was an amazing experience and I loved it and I have a huge amount of respect for everyone that creates that show but for the moment I am stepping back from it.

“It’s a classic statement but I am stepping back 100 per cent. I love that show but also I’m 32.”

Jamie explained his decision, saying: “With a reality show you’ve got to really throw yourself into it and whatever I do I want to do it to my best ability and put my all into it and at the moment I can’t do that and I have other things I need to do.

“I would just be on the side and truthfully I don’t enjoy doing that, I want to be in the thick of things and I can’t do that with Chelsea at the minute so for me there isn’t a reason to do it.”

Jamie said he didn’t have any regrets about his time on the show, adding: “We were so lucky in so many ways.”

Instead of reality telly, Jamie revealed he wanted to focus on his sweet business Candy Kittens.

The latest series of Made In Chelsea kicked off in March on E4.
