“Jamie was alerted to something wrong when he heard a massive commotion coming from his neighbor’s house. He was face to face with the burglar himself as he tried to smash his way into his house as well. Jamie went absolutely mad and sprinted after the man down the street before catching up with him and pinning him down to the floor,” the Mirror cited an unnamed source as saying.

The source also added that Jamie’s driver and some neighbors joined the TV star to help him hold the intruder down until cops arrived to detain him.
“At 7.13pm on Tuesday, 4th of September, police were called to reports of an aggressive male attempting to gain entry to residential addresses in N6. The male was apprehended by members of the public and was subsequently detained by police. He was taken to a north London police station where he remains at this time.
