One of the best-known characters from the reality TV show Made in Chelsea left the bright lights of west London behind him for a trip north yesterday (December 15).

Yes, if you spotted Jamie Laing in Ellesmere Port your eyes weren't deceiving you.

Jamie swapped the King's Road for Whitby Road, where he was filming for a festive edition of his E4 spin-off show, In Bed With Jamie.

Filming centred on the Adrenaline Tattoo Studio run by another reality TV personality, Jay Hutton.

Jay, star of his own E4 smash hit Tattoo Fixers, is one of three guests booked for the Boxing Day edition of In Bed With Jamie.

And the heartthrob tattoo artist took to Twitter yesterday to tell his 200,000 followers he'd been hard at work filming.

While he was in town with Jay, Jamie was happy to pose for pictures – even calling in to meet Dawn Corcoran from the nearby Blooming Lovely florists in Whitby.

The 'outrageous and revealing' Boxing Day edition of In Bed With Jamie is on E4 at 10pm, and also features the Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby and former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson.
