19 January 2009 01:28pm

Jamie Bell has revealed he gets cravings for British tea and biscuits now he lives in New York.

The 22-year-old actor - who shot to fame as a child star in Billy Elliot and has now been working in the US for so long he has an American accent - told The Daily Telegraph he misses some home comforts.

Jamie said: "I'm very much the Englishman in New York. I'm always trying to find the PG Tips, the Yorkshire Gold, the orange Club bars, Kit Kats, Polos, Weetabix - everything.

"But sadly I can't work here. The States provides the work and living in New York is in between LA and London. The industry is going through a tough time so it's a terrifying and amazing fact that I still have a job."

Jamie is currently starring in Defiance alongside Daniel Craig.
