Jamie Laing, 35, has just accepted a job at the BBC as he gets ready to replace former I'm A Celebrity star Jordan North.
He might be expected to travel around the country for his new job presenting fun features, except he previously couldn't drive.
But the former Made In Chelsea star took to Instagram with a fun video, in which he documented the end of his long journey.
At first, Jamie appeared somewhat anxious but determined as he prepared to take his test, as he introduced his driving instructor to his fans.

"Francis is my wonderful driving instructor. We're about to take my driving test.
"Here we go. The next time you see me, I've either passed or I've failed."
It seems Jamie did not quite know the name of the UK driving authority as he exclaimed: "D.V.L.S. What is it?"

"You know what I eat for breakfast? Fr***** driving instructor. Driving test man!

He ended the video by thanking his beloved teacher ad he added: "Francis. You're a fricking legend, baby. Come on!"
Confirming the amount of tests he either failed or was a no-show on, he captioned the clip: "70 Theory & 1 Missed Driving Test later - It’s the moment the world is waiting for 🚙."
