About this listen
From his idyllic upbringing in the countryside to the grey walls of boarding school, Jamie has always had a knack for getting himself into trouble. He reveals how he won popularity at school teaching the rest of the boys the proper way to ... [PARENTAL ADVISORY]. He hilariously recounts blagging his way into a casino aged 17, and winning so much money his mother thought he was a drug dealer. Jamie has been equally lucky with ladies, but not always quite the romantic hero he had in mind - unless sitting lovelorn outside a girlfriend's halls begging to be taken back while fending off abuse from drunk students calling out 'Made in Chelsea twat' counts as heroism?
Jamie also writes movingly about his struggles off camera, which left him crippled with anxiety and led to his eventual burnout. Throughout it all he opens up about the importance of friendship and how his two ride-or-dies, Georgie and Spencer, have always been there for him. They've enabled Jamie to thrive as a confectionary king and genuinely change lives with his Private Parts podcast, while not letting him forget that he took part in Bake Off Stand Up To Cancer despite not knowing how to pronounce the word 'meringue'. Candid, entertaining, and almost always ridiculous, this is the real Jamie Laing.

All of the stories Jamie has shared over the years in the Private Parts Podcast and 6 Degrees with Spencer are here in one place (although slightly filtered- I presume- to appeal to the wider public). Concise, open and of course funny (just what Jamie wants).
Even though I have heard some of these stories before, it was nice to hear the way he has dealt with his mental health issues alongside and how his self awareness and understanding of ‘the self’ has developed as he has got older.
Being the same age as Jamie and having gone through my 20’s watching him and his friends on Made in Chelsea, it felt like I was listening to an old friend reminiscing on the past; both the good times and the bad; Jamie is completely relatable. He has never been afraid to share the most intimate moments- his regrets, aspirations, sex, his adolescent days and of course, his bowel movements!
Yes, at times it felt rather self indulgent- ‘I’m still here and I want you to remember it’, but ultimately this book is about how Jamie has found his true self and learnt how to have healthy attachments with people alongside life in the public eye.
An easy and enjoyable listen over a couple of days.
I hope Jamie now continues to find balance and happiness as he navigates the rest of his 30’s, and I look forward to the next book as he ventures into his 40’s…!
An easy and enjoyable listen
