Kate Garraway caused quite the awkward moment on Good Morning Britain today when she called Jamie Laing out on his money worries.
The Made in Chelsea star was explaining why he finds it important to do other things rather than the E4 reality show, when Kate pointed out that he didn't really have to worry as he's set to inherit the McVitie's biscuit fortune.
"The great thing is that we've all been given a golden ticket into this amazing world and we're super fortunate but there is that possibility that it will go," trust fund baby Jamie explained.
"But that's why it's super important to do other things whether you start a business or whether you do other things.
"You can't always just rest on reality show because we can't be 45 and still be doing Made in Chelsea."
But then Kate went in for some killer shade throwing, pointing out: "You are the heir to the McVitie's fortune, aren't you? So you're not really struggling if it all comes to an end."
"I think it's a slightly grey area," Jamie began to answer before Stephanie Pratt interrupted to point out the obvious awkward moment.
"It's not, it's fine," he insisted, slightly flustered, in the now presumably frosty studio.
"But no, I run a sweet business, and I do other things. I think it's very important to not rest everything on one thing because if it does go it's a kind of scary place."
Jamie's great-great grandfather was Alexander Grant, the inventor of the Digestive biscuit and founder of the company that still funds the family to this day.
As well as his reality show income, Jamie lives off earnings from his sweet company and the trust fund set up for him from the family money.
