Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing arrested after he refused to stop using his mobile phone in the quiet carriage of train

- Made in Chelsea star arrested on train from Leeds to London
- Jamie Laing, 25, refused to turn his phone off in 'quiet' carriage
- Taken off the train by British Transport Police and later cautioned

Reality TV▸ (Thames Valley, or TeleVision, depending on context) star Jamie Laing was arrested after using his phone in the 'quiet' carriage of a train from Yorkshire to London this Sunday.

The Made in Chelsea regular allegedly refused to turn off his mobile, and ignored the train staff's attempt to communicate with him.

Laing, 25, was cautioned for 'offensive and unacceptable behaviour' after failing to give police his details.

The McVities heir was travelling from Leeds back to his home in London after a personal appearance and DJ set in Tokyo bar, Huddersfield on Saturday night.

After refusing to stop using his mobile phone, transport police arrested him and let him off the train at Peterborough, the Sun reports. He was interviewed at a police station and allowed to continue his journey home after accepting the caution over his behaviour.

British Transport Police released a statement regarding the arrest, but did not name Jamie Lang. ^Officers from BTP▸ (British Transport Police) arrested a 25-year-old man from Chelsea, London, for failing to give his details on the 15:05 Leeds to London King's Cross service on Sunday,^ a spokesperson said. ^The man was taken off the train by officers and taken to a police station in Peterborough to be interviewed. He then supplied officers with his details, was released and received a caution for the offence when he arrived at London King's Cross station.^

Privately educated Laing rose to fame on E4's reality TV show Made In Chelsea where he is most famous for dating beautiful co-stars and partying. He also runs 'fashionable confectionery company' Candy Kittens that produces and sells sweets and clothes with a distinct 'Kings Road feel'.

MailOnline have contacted Jamie Laing's representatives for comment

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I'm glad I am not the only who did not know who this idiot by the name of Jamie Laing is.

Wasn't he arrested for refusing to give details to the BTP▸ (British Transport Police), quite rightly, rather than being unquiet ? Wink
