Made in Chelsea's Jamie Laing shows off dancing skills
Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing has stepped in to guest host Sunday Brunch today (October 21) as Simon Rimmer takes a week off, and it seems Jamie is eyeing up another one of Simon's former roles too.
As the show kicked off this morning, regular Brunch host Tim Lovejoy introduced Jamie as his partner in crime for the day, where Jamie quipped about how weirdly similar the two look.
"I get to hang out with my dad all morning, so I'm very excited," he joked.
Look at our beautiful guests! 😁 We miss you already @simonrim! #SundayBrunch pic.twitter.com/EQdOkLlUl9

And without Simon, the task of recapping last night's Strictly Come Dancing show fell to Jamie – who soon jumped up to his feet to show off his version of the iconic Fresh Prince of Bel Air Carlton dance, in honour of Strictly guest judge Alfonso Ribeiro.
And the dancing didn't end there as later in the show, Jamie and Tim took part in a quick tap dancing lesson with Australian dance group Dein Perry's TAP DOGS – and he seemed to take to that quite well too.
Get ready for an incredible @TapDogsofficial performance today! They are going to teach @timlovejoy and @JamieLaing_UK a thing or two as well 👞👞 #SundayBrunch pic.twitter.com/agludK5bRx

If ever Jamie wanted to try his hand at Strictly Come Dancing, we're sure he'd do a pretty good job and make it to Blackpool, at the very least (sorry, Simon).
Elsewhere on the show, Jamie had a Made in Chelsea reunion with his former co-star and reigning Queen of the Jungle Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, who shared that she hasn't ruled out returning to show for good.
"If something major happens, yeah, I haven't been killed off – I'm still in the area," she joked.
All in all, it proved a pretty successful hosting stint for Jamie, with viewers quick to praise his presenting abilities.

So far Jamie Lang is doing good, out presenting Tim.. not that its a big bar to conquer. But keep up the good work Jamie #sundaybrunch
