Fans went wild in the comments, saying: 'how do you look more like voldemort than voldemort did.',

'This is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a while.',

'Omg you look brilliant.', 'Terrifying', 'Sophie must def have the ick now.', 'Unbelievable scenes. Can't cope.'

The track uses dialogue from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone where Ron Weasley sacrifices himself during the giant wizard chess game.

Jamie and his wife Sophie, 32, are currently in America for work, but are normally based in London.

Just last week Jamie left fans in hysterics after he was mistaken for One Tree Hill psycho stalker 'Derek' by US audiences.

The TV personality was invited to watch an episode of Dancing With The Stars as the couples took to the dancefloor again. 

However Jamie soon found himself victim of an unfortunate crowd cameo as he was snapped looking petrified while applauding the contestants. 

And the US audience mistook him for 'Derek' the psycho stalker from the American teen drama series.

Taking to Instagram, Jamie shared a comparison photo with Matt Barr, who played Ian Banks (also known as Derek). 

He penned: 'Not the US audience thinking I was Peyton Sawyer's Stalker from One Tree Hill... Apparently his name is Derek.'

Fans flooded the comments with laughing emojis as they joked: 'I am deadddd.' 

Others wrote: 'Watched this the other day and I can confirm (from the uk) i still thought it was you at first glance!';

'LMFAO I'm from Canada. Very confused when I saw the caption. I know very well you are not psycho Derek.'

Jamie and Sophie have been in LA for the last few weeks and are filming the new episodes of their podcast out there. 

Jamie recently took to Instagram as he celebrated Sophie's birthday with a sweet dedicated post. 

Sharing snaps of Sophie holding balloons he wrote: 'Happy Birthday to my absolute G.O.A.T! 

'The best friend, wife and mum Ziggy and I could ask for. We wouldn't be able to do life without you.'

Jamie has previously admitted he was 'in the trenches' due to the impact that fatherhood has had on him since welcoming his son Ziggy.

Back in June, Jamie detailed the struggle to manage his business and look after his son, seven months, while saying he previously lived a 'selfish life'.
