In October, the Made In Chelsea star said he’ll propose to girlfriend Sophie if he wins Strictly Come Dancing 2020.
Jamie also sweetly revealed that he wants children with his co-star, 27, in the future.
Talking about his future with Sophie, he joked in OK! magazine that a TV proposal would be her ‘worst nightmare’.
He quipped: ‘You know what, maybe I should do that, when I lift the trophy… I might propose to her at the same time. Honestly, she would be furious if I did it on the Strictly dance floor, on the TV, it would be her worst nightmare.’

Although Jamie cheekily added that ‘between us’ he will propose if he wins Strictly 2020.
Talking about whether they are concerned about the show’s curse, Jamie insisted that they won’t be hit by it as Sophie is ‘one of the most amazing people’ he’s ever met in his entire life.
The Strictly ‘curse’ is seen when one or more members of a couple compete on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Grilled: She said: ‘Now is a great time, people have had a bad day, just go for it!’ With Jamie quickly backtracking and replying: ‘Ok, but I think if we win it…’
The couple is typically torn apart by time-related issues or one partner’s attraction to another person on the show, which in the past has led to divorces, breakups, called off engagements and more.
He said: ‘Look, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been married 40 years or dating for weeks. The curse has been hyped to be this big thing but we have to remember it’s just hype, you make a choice if you want to sleep with your dance partner.
‘From my side, I’m totally in love with my girlfriend and one way to show how much you love someone is by not cheating, right? It comes down to respect and trust. I’d never want to hurt her, she’s my best friend.’
Jamie added that he wants to have children with Sophie in the future and the ‘goal in life’ is to have a family.
