In his exit speech, Jamie said: ‘That’s all I can say. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here [the judges], but everyone who works on this show. I have such a good bond and relationship with them. What made me want to do this show is the people, not what I’m doing. I’ve had the best time.’
