FEARNE Cotton today took a savage swipe at Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo following their dance video at Buckingham Palace.
It came after the former Made In Chelsea stars filmed themselves recreating Meghan and Harry’s infamous “Baby Mama” dance on the Grand Staircase.

Along with Fearne, Jamie and Sophie were at the Palace to attend a event for the King’s Trust.
While they were there, they filmed themselves twerking and laughing at the royal residence, just metres from portraits of senior royals.
Jamie posted the video to his 1.6 million Instagram followers, writing: “They said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace.”
The pair danced to Starrkeisha’s Baby Mama, the same track used in Meghan and Harry’s original clip.
After Jamie and Sophie posted their hilarious video mocking the Sussexes, Fearne appeared to take a dig at the pair.
Writing in the comments next to video, the podcaster said: “You also had your pap camera out with a flash.
“Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings.”
Jamie and Sophie were poking fun at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who recorded their version in 2020, shortly before Meghan gave birth to Princess Lilibet.
She posted it earlier this month to mark their daughter’s fourth birthday.
While Jamie and Sophie’s video could have sparked a royal backlash, palace aides appeared to see the funny side.
The Royal Family’s official Instagram account commented: “We see you,” adding a pair of eye and wink emojis.
The King’s Trust also responded. “All of our attendees are very well behaved,” it joked, with a laughing emoji.
Fans were quick to react – with one joking: “When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn’t lol.”
Another added: “In a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed.”
Jamie and Sophie were just two of several high-profile guests at the King’s Trust event at the palace this week, alongside George and Amal Clooney.
The reception honoured this year’s award winners – young people who have turned their lives around with help from the charity.
The King’s Trust, set up by King Charles in 1976, supports disadvantaged young people.
It has helped more than a million into work, education or training.
