Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing makes cut-throat move as he launches bid to crack America
THEY say you must be cut-throat to get to the top – just ask Jamie Laing.
The ex-reality star, who made his TV debut on Made In Chelsea in 2011, has ditched his entire team of two years in a bid to go global.
Jamie has split from UK talent management heavyweight YMU, which looks after some of the leading names in UK TV, including Davina McCall, Emma Willis and Stacey Solomon.
The agency helped guide Jamie to new showbiz heights and a prime-time slot co-hosting BBC Radio 1’s Drivetime show alongside Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton.
But that hasn’t been enough to keep him on its books.
I’m told Jamie, co-founder of sweet brand Candy Kittens, is keen to follow in Mark Wright‘s footsteps and bidding to crack America.

Former Towie star Mark moved to Los Angeles in 2017 to pursue his Hollywood dream, after securing a slot on US telly presenting entertainment news and gossip show Extra.
Now Jamie has signed to leading LA- based managers United Talent Agency.
A source said: “Jamie had been with YMU for years, and on a personal level he gets on with the team.
“But in recent months things have become more and more complicated and strained, in terms of the direction he thinks he should go and the direction they think would work for him.
“Ultimately Jamie wants to go global and YMU isn’t the best fit for that.
“His deal with UTA is really exciting but many of his old team are gutted to see him go.”
UTA has also snapped up Jamie’s wife Sophie Habboo, his co-host on hit podcast NewlyWeds.
Jamie and Sophie met while filming E4’s Made In Chelsea before tying the knot in Spain in May last year.
Good luck to him with his new move.
But just make sure you don’t forget those people who helped you on your way to the top, Jamie.
Francis Ngannou to fight for ‘lineal’ MMA heavyweight title in return against Renan Ferreira with all-new belt on line
MMA star Renan Ferreira says he is fighting Francis Ngannou to determine the true and “lineal” heavyweight champion of the world.
Ngannou walked out on the UFC in 2022 without losing the title to pursue a switch to boxing.
Now, he returns to the cage on Saturday against 6ft 8in Brazilian Ferreira in his Professional Fighters League debut.
The PFL have unveiled an all-new heavyweight belt to be at stake between the two in Saudi Arabia.
But as Ngannou never lost his UFC gold in the octagon, Ferreira believes the title for world’s best MMA heavyweight is also up for grabs.
He said: “Obviously, he didn’t lose his title so it means a lot to have this victory.
“It was great to see the belt and I actually got to hold the belt today. The PFL did a great job in making an incredible belt.
“I got to hold it today and to already feel that it will be mine.”
Ngannou, 38, defeated Ciryl Gane, 34, in his last UFC fight in 2022 and was later stripped of the belt after his contract expired.
American great Jon Jones, 37, inherited it in his absence as Ngannou went onto suffer losses to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in boxing.

Now he comes back to the cage, the question still remains who is the best MMA heavyweight in the world.
But Ngannou has refused to be drawn into the debate as he heads into his first bout in the cage for over two years.
He told SunSport when probed on lineal status: “Honestly, I haven’t thought about it. I don’t think about that.
“I’m focused on one thing, which is the fight, the guy in front of me. I think I have my personal fight to fight to be focused about stuff like that.”
Watch as Tommy Fury reignites bitter feud with KSI by slamming his BGT job – and swerves I’m A Celeb question
TOMMY Fury has reignited his bitter feud with KSI while taking a swipe at his new job on Britain’s Got Talent.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has landed a spot on the judging panel of BGT, replacing Italian choreographer Bruno Tonioli.

During a radio interview, the former Love Island star, 25, has lashed out at KSI. 31, and his new gig on ITV1.
Tommy was asked by Heart FM Breakfast host Amanda Holden – who is a long-standing BGT judge herself: “What do you think he’s going to be like on Britain’s Got Talent?”
Hitting out, Tommy replied: “If his judging skills are anything like his boxing skills, he’s going to be absolutely useless isn’t he?
“I doubt he’ll do too well to be honest, but let’s wait and see.”
Tommy went on to tell Amanda and her co-star Jason King that he has never taken even a sip of Prime – the hugely popular drink created by KSI – in his life.
“I’ve not drunk Prime , I’ve not even looked at Prime,” he said.
“When I go into the petrol station to buy my fuel, I tend to look the opposite way. I don’t even want to see him in my vision.”
The pair asked Tommy about the chances of a rematch between himself and KSI – whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji.
“Listen, I’ll beat him for a load of money again why not,” Tommy told them. “That’s if we can get him off Britain’s Got Talent though.”
Meanwhile, last month we revealed how Tommy has been in talks to appear on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!.
The Love Island star, who is the half brother of heavyweight fighter Tyson Fury, is said to have caught the eye of ITV bosses once again following his hugely publicised split from Molly-Mae Hague.
The couple announced their break-up in August and Tommy has been accused of cheating on Molly – a claim which he denies.
A show insider told The Sun: “Tommy is a great name as a potential campmate as he’s already known to the ITV audience and he’d be brilliant in the Bushtucker Trials.”
Tommy was also grilled about the possible I’m A Celebrity appearance during his chat with Amanda and Jason on Tuesday morning.
And notably, he dodged the question about whether he is set to take part in the hugely popular show, which will air in Australia in November.

Comparing his life to a “rollercoaster”, Tommy said: “There’s so many things that I might do, or could be doing this, or could be doing that.
“To be honest with you, I don’t know what I’m doing this afternoon.
“I mean, I just take it literally an hour at a time. I don’t know, there’s a lot of things going on in my life right now so I’m not sure on anything.”
Tommy found fame on the 2019 series of Love Island and left the show in a relationship with fellow finalist Molly-Mae.
The couple’s romance went from strength to strength and they welcomed baby daughter Bambi into the world in January last year.
Several months later, they got engaged after Tommy whisked her to Ibiza.
Last week, we revealed how Molly is also eyeing up a new TV gig after secretly filming a new project amid the fallout from their break-up.
The star, who has recently launched her new Maebe collection, is said to be in a bidding war with two major streamers.
“Molly is very astute and will make sure she picks the perfect partnership to get her show out there,” an insider told The Sun.
