Reality star Jamie Laing has made a candid confession about the pressure he felt to conceive with his wife Sophie Habboo, which left her 'raging'. The Made In Chelsea couple, who welcomed son Ziggy in December, discussed their struggles on Olivia Attwood's podcast, Olivia's House.
Jamie, 37, admitted that the pressure to perform in the bedroom affected him, saying: 'For some reason, every part of my being was like 'don't do this' and I was like: 'What's going on?' So, nothing was working.' Sophie, 32, revealed her frustration, stating: 'Raging, I was like, you're f*****g joking, this is f****d…'
The couple documented their journey to parenthood in the Disney+ documentary Raising Chelsea, which showed intimate moments including trying to conceive and the birth. Jamie explained that the pressure was 'so full on', with Sophie telling him when she was ovulating. He said: 'So the pressure got to you?' Olivia clarified, as Jamie confirmed: 'So much pressure, so much pressure.'
Despite the challenges, the couple felt it was natural to film their journey, as Sophie told the BBC: 'People are used to following our journey, so documenting this and having an audience come with us felt really natural and fun.' Jamie added that they made a pact to show the real them, warts and all, saying: 'There is nothing off limits - I don't like the idea of a filtered version of ourselves.'
