Jamie Laing has faced backlash after posting a video of his wife Sophie Habboo holding their infant son in a car without a seatbelt. The Made In Chelsea star, 37, shared a montage marking six months since baby Ziggy's arrival, but quickly removed the footage after criticism from followers. He later re-edited the tribute to exclude the controversial clip.
UK law requires children under 12 or under 135cm tall to be secured in an approved car seat with an internal harness. However, in taxis, if the driver does not provide a correct child seat, children may travel without one but only on a rear seat. The couple's actions drew ire from fans, with one commenting: 'Nice to see you have removed the irresponsible clip... It would be wise to admit you have been irresponsible.'
Jamie and Sophie, both 31, are determined to shield their son from the public eye, with Sophie admitting they are 'still working out' how much to share online. The couple met on Made In Chelsea and now host shows on Radio One. They are currently filming a new Disney reality show, Raising Chelsea, which insiders say has put pressure on their relationship.
A source told The Sun: 'Sophie and Jamie actually had a really difficult time filming. They didn’t really expect it to be as much pressure as it was, and part of them wishes they had never agreed to do it.' Despite the challenges, the couple are said to be pleased with the final outcome of the show.
