Jamie Laing is a British television personality, entrepreneur, and speaker known for his energetic presence, engaging storytelling, and humorous honesty. Rising to prominence through the hit reality show Made in Chelsea, Jamie quickly became a familiar face on British screens. As a speaker, he brings a refreshingly candid voice to discussions around fame, mental health, entrepreneurship, and personal development. His speaking style is charismatic and approachable, offering audiences both entertainment and genuine insight drawn from his varied career and personal challenges.
Jamie’s early career was shaped by his appearance on Made in Chelsea, joining the cast in 2011. Coming from a family with links to the McVitie’s biscuit empire, he initially attracted public attention for his posh background and playful personality. However, he soon distinguished himself as more than just a reality TV star. In 2012, he founded Candy Kittens, a gourmet sweet brand focused on vegan and vegetarian products. His business acumen and media savvy turned it into a nationally recognised brand, laying the foundation for his broader work in media and public speaking.
In recent years, Jamie has expanded his influence beyond television. He reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, showcasing resilience and determination after a previous injury forced him to withdraw. He co-hosts several successful podcasts, including Private Parts and NewlyWeds, which have cultivated a strong following thanks to his openness and humour. In 2025, he completed an ultramarathon challenge, raising over £2 million for mental health charities by running 5 ultramarathons in 5 days, a testament to his commitment to advocacy and personal growth. He also released his memoir, 'I Can Explain', praised for its wit and honesty.
Jamie is hired as a speaker not just for his public profile but for his ability to connect with diverse audiences. Whether speaking about overcoming anxiety, building a business from scratch, or navigating the highs and lows of public life, he delivers talks that are relatable, inspiring, and memorable. Audiences value his authenticity and the unique blend of humour and heart he brings to every event.
