Story summary

Jamie Laing was mistaken for a character from the TV show One Tree Hill during a US television appearance on Dancing with the Stars. The confusion arose when viewers thought he resembled "Derek," a stalker character played by actor Matt Barr, as the camera panned over him in the crowd. Laing is known for his work on Strictly Come Dancing, hosting podcasts like Great Company With Jamie Laing, and co-founding the gourmet sweet company Candy Kittens in 2012. He became a father to son Ziggy when his partner Habboo gave birth last December, and they have been active in hosting red carpet events such as the Brit Awards together since announcing their engagement on Instagram in 2021.
