Jamie Laing hilariously strips down to leopard print ‘tiny knickers’ as he embodies Bridget Jones to recreate iconic scene with wife Sophie Habboo

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo took the festive spirit to a new level on Tuesday by recreating an iconic scene from the Christmas classic Bridget Jones’s Diary.

The couple and Newlyweds podcast hosts put their acting skills to the test as they treated their listeners to a new Instagram reel to sign off for the year.

The duo created none other than the final scene in which Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is forced to put on her ‘little panties’ and run half-naked through the snowy streets of London in an attempt to stop Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) from escaping. go away.

It comes after Mark finds her infamous diary in her flat, which is full of insults towards him, and when Bridget returns to the room she discovers it has disappeared.

Assuming her new lover had run away in a rage, she sprinted out with nothing on her lower body but her leopard print underwear – only to discover that he had actually just gone to buy her a new diary.

Of course, Jamie hilariously took on the role of Bridget for the video, with Sophie pretending to be Mark Darcy – and they added their own cheeky twist.

In the sketch, Jamie exclaimed: “Definitely an opportunity for really tiny panties!” while he left Sophie to read magazines in the other room.

Then she found his diary, which read: “But listeners think Sophie is sexier than me, but she is NOT. I hate her! I hate her!’

Jamie was wearing almost exactly the same outfit as Bridget and realized that Sophie had left and run around London behind her.

After sprinting off and running into “producer Ewan,” Jamie and Sophie continue to reenact the iconic moment as they kiss and Jamie exclaims, “Good girls don’t kiss like that!”

Sophie jokes: ‘Yes, they do!’ and then the couple signs off by shouting, “Merry Christmas!”

They also posted a behind-the-scenes video showing the extent to which the camera crew followed them during the Christmas shoot.

In the caption, Jamie joked: “Definitely an occasion for really tiny panties.”

‘From both of us and everyone at JamPot THANK YOU to all our wonderful listeners who loved everything we did in 2024! We love you all and thank you for continuing to support us through everything!!

‘We hoped we entertained you!! Merry Christmas – We love you!! Stay tuned for 2025 where we have so many great, HUGE plans!!! Lots of love.’

They added, “Channeling our inner Bridget Jones! Find a kind, sensible boyfriend and avoid all the emotional jerks this holiday season… or at least try. Watch the chaos unfold in our Bridget Jones-inspired Christmas shoot.”

Fans rushed to the comments to praise the duo for the funny video, writing: ‘Best scene ever!! We did it!!!’

“I almost swallowed my jellybean when I saw that side profile running!” Merry christmas!’

“The way I was so invested.”

“You’re both crazy and I love it.”

‘Ha! You guys are THE best. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the laughs.”

“This is the funniest thing I’ve seen this year.”

Jamie and Sophie recently bought their first home in another corner of West London, after previously calling Chelsea ‘boring’.

They have now received the keys to a house in Notting Hill, after renting an apartment in the area for three years.

The new home has a basement, which they will convert into a media room, and a garden.

They plan to renovate the property, with a kitchen from upscale firm Smallbone.

Explaining why they lived in a rental property in Notting Hill, Jamie previously said in an interview last year: ‘I found Chelsea boring.’

He told it The times in May: ‘We have been renting a two-bedroom apartment in Notting Hill for three years. I used to have an apartment in Chelsea, but I found Chelsea boring.

‘We also had to move because the flat had a history. Sophie didn’t like the fact that my ex-girlfriends had lived there.’
