Presenter and Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing has finally passed his driving theory test after an incredible 70 attempts.

Laing has been quite open about his struggle to learn to drive on social media, but has often seen the funny side to it when shared with fans.

But the Candy Kittens founder does not need to laugh at himself anymore as it has been revealed that he has finally passed the theory test.

Laing has been on Radio 1 with Matt Edmonson, filling in for Mollie King who is on maternity leave.

On a recent show, Laing's driving theory test results were announced on air by his co-presenter Edmonson. Watch it below:

He said: "I have the envelope, with the results in, so the 70th test, the tenth time.

As Edmonson tried to build up the tension, Laing can be heard in the background saying: "Oh my god! Laing gang, come on. Come on Big J!"

Edmonson then opened the results, confirming the news: "Jamie... I'm sorry to tell you, you've passed!"

The Radio 1 presenter then shared the exact results to Laing that meant he passed the test after a lot of attempts.

He revealed that Laing scored 43 out of 50 on the quiz section and 55 out of 75 on the hazard perception section.

Laing joked: "I'm a genius - In your face DVLA" - with Edmonson also joining in.

The Made in Chelsea star then joked 'who can stop me now?' adding that he is going to pass the lorry test next.

Many people took to the Instagram comments of the Radio 1 post to ask how Laing has failed the test 70 times.

One person even suggested that "If he has failed 70 it’s maybe an idea he just doesn’t drive" - so let us explain.

Jamie Laing was evidentially delighted with the results.

While Laing has theoretically done 70 attempts at the theory test, the one he has just past is the tenth he has actually sat.

In an interview with HeatWorld back in 2016, Laing revealed that while he had booked the test 40 times at that point, he actually only turned up twice - both of which he failed.

When asked why he booked so many, the presenter said: "I just don't know. You get up in the morning and you think, 'Am I really going to go all the way to Kingston to do my theory test?'"
