Shock celebrity ‘feud’ revealed as Strictly star is banned from Jack Whitehall’s Xmas party over Jamie Redknapp moment
JACK Whitehall has barred a former Strictly Come Dancing star from his annual Christmas party after a drunken “showdown”.
The comedian, 35, has never asked the Strictly 2020 contestant back to his home for the festive bash following the embarrassing incident.
Jamie Laing, 35, has admitted he’d had so much to drink at one of Jack’s previous Christmas shindigs that he ended up ‘dancing on tables’.
He also bestowed unwanted “career advice” on football legend Jamie Redknapp.
As a result, the former Made In Chelsea star has been banned from Jack’s Christmas party invite list.
Jamie admitted to his Christmas party feud with Jack on his Private Parts podcast.
He told comedian Tom Lucy, who was there on the night in question: “I’ve never been invited back to Jack’s Christmas party after my showdown, when I was so drunk I was dancing on the table before the food had arrived.
“I then started trying to give Jamie Redknapp career advice.
“You described it to me, you said it was like I just got out of prison and I was having my first drink.”
Tom agreed: “You had this real ‘prison break’ energy.”
Jamie and Jack are good friends, despite the Christmas party snub.
But earlier this month, Jamie appeared to publicly fall out with Jack’s parents during another podcast recording.
Jack’s dad Michael even stormed out of the interview after getting the hump over Jamie’s wedding to Sophie Habbo.
The talent agent and TV star was cross that he didn’t receive an invite to their London nuptials, so got up and walked out.
Sitting down beside his wife Hilary for an episode of NewlyWeds with Jamie and Sophie, the sore memory resurfaced and tipped him over the edge.
Michael abruptly stood up mid-chat and fumed: “They said we could go to their wedding and how important it was, we never got an invitation. Go f*** yourselves.
Hilary reasoned: “Michael?”
But he continued: “We’ve got a podcast of our own to do, why are we propping them up?”
Hilary turned to Jamie and said: “He’s very sore about not getting an invite. I did tell you.”
A dumbstruck Jamie then chased after his guest in a bid to talk him back.
Thankfully, Michael appeared to be joking and he and wife Hilary handed over a Guggle Jug to the couple as a wedding present.
