Sophie Habboo, known for her role on E4's Made In Chelsea, has revealed that her wedding anxiety led to an ADHD diagnosis. The 30-year-old reality star tied the knot with Jamie Laing in April last year, but the stress of the occasion prompted her to seek medical advice.
Speaking on their Newlyweds podcast, Sophie disclosed that the overwhelming feelings she experienced before the wedding prompted her to visit a doctor, who subsequently diagnosed her with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She explained that the diagnosis helped her understand her behaviour and manage her symptoms.
Sophie and Jamie, 35, celebrated their first wedding anniversary recently. To mark the occasion, Sophie surprised Jamie by revealing she had legally changed her surname to Laing. The emotional moment was captured on their podcast, with Jamie breaking down in tears upon hearing the news.
Sophie penned a heartfelt poem for Jamie, which included the line: 'So happy anniversary from me, Mrs. Sophie Laing. Yes that's right Laing. I have officially changed my name.' Jamie was visibly moved, saying, 'That means the world. I didn't expect you to do that but that is the coolest thing ever.'
The couple first married at Chelsea registry office before jetting to Spain for a second ceremony. Sophie's ADHD diagnosis has helped her navigate the pressures of public life and marriage, she said.
