He has been engrossed in rehearsals and even donned sequins for the spectacular launch on Monday night ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing debut, but it seems reality star Jamie Laing is no stranger to learning a few moves. The Made in Chelsea star recently spoke about his previous dancing experience while studying at university and we can't help but think we would have loved to have witnessed this…
After recent speculation on whether his dance lessons would give him an advantage, Jamie clarified his experience. Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, the Leeds University graduate said: "I did something called 'summertime' which was interpretive dance where all the girls were the petals and I was the bulb and I came up and had a bit and I had to say 'summertime!' and it was great." On whether this interpretive dance would help him on his Strictly journey, Jamie joked: "I think it will. I think if it wasn't for that I'd be in real (expletive)!" You never know, Jamie! Re-enactment at Blackpool perhaps?
