Jamie Laing breaks down in tears as he opens up about his parents’ divorce and admits he carries ‘huge guilt’ for blaming his father

Jamie Laing got teary and emotional as he opened up about his parents’ divorce and said he carries a lot of ‘guilt’ towards his father.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, confessed that he blamed his father, Nicholas, when his parents got divorced during his early childhood.

Speaking to Amol Rajan on his Great Company podcast, he broke down in tears as he discussed his ‘guilt’ and how he said things he regrets after their separation.

When asked if he had ‘straightened it out with his dad’, Jamie replied: ‘Yeah yeah yeah, it was on me which I realised now, which is something I have never said.’

Host Amol, whose own father recently pᴀssed away, asked: ‘If I called tomorrow and said your dad has cancer and has three months to live, what would you do?’

Becoming increasingly emotional, Jamie said: ‘Ahh f**k you got me, ah I wouldn’t probably say to him… Oh um, I have huge guilt towards my dad.

‘The reason why I had that is because, I sort of had a narrative, in my… Look my parents got divorced. And I think… Jesus Christ…. I have never spoken about this.

‘I feel guilt because I blamed him for a lot. It wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t as much as I thought it was. I have said things.’

Jamie then admitted that while he has never officially apologised to his father, he has said that he loves him and they continue to have a good relationship.

‘I haven’t said sorry because it would be admitting to myself that I was a bit of an idiot for a long time,’ he said.

‘I didn’t realise that was in me. After all the therapy I have done… I didn’t realise it was so deep in me. He is like a magical human.’

Elaborating more on why he blamed his father as a child, Jamie said he was a ‘mummy’s boy’ and leaned towards her side when he was young.

He said: ‘I think what happens when parents get divorced, like this is my experience is, as kids you’re confused and so you probably blame an individual when it takes two to tango.

‘I was very much a mummy’s boy right so you lean towards the mum’s side and then you’re older you go f**k you know to blame a parent when you don’t understand it and you don’t understand it and my dad has never spoken any ill about my mum ever. Never.’
