Jamie Laing’s latest post has left his followers scratching their heads after he complained about having a bad back while sleeping in a private suite during the birth of his first child
Jamie Laing has left his followers unimpressed after sharing a social media post following the birth of his first child. The 37-year-old former Made In Chelsea star welcomed his first child with wife Sophie Habboo last week, and so decided to make a tongue-in-cheek post on TikTok, soon after the birth.
Sophie has given birth to their son Ziggy in the private Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, which carries an estimated cost of £6,000 a night for a standard package. Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children at the same private wing of the West London hospital.
And as part of the package, Jamie was able to sleep in his own single bed to be close to his wife and newborn son. He jokingly posted a picture of himself holding his back in pain, claiming to have had an uncomfortable sleep.

He captioned it saying: “Note to self: Don’t limp, hold your back or complain just after your wife has given birth because your bed was uncomfortable.” While many got his attempt at a joke, his post seemed to prompt a few of his followers to call out his lack of awareness.
One person wrote: “My partner had to sleep on the floor because they only gave us a small plastic chair.” Another person said: “Omg you got a bed! You should see the chairs at the poor people’s hospitals lol.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “You had a bed?! My fella slept in a chair for 6 days and not even a reclining one!” Jamie and Sophie announced the arrival of their first child via Instagram by sharing a series of pictures from the birth.
The podcast and radio presenter captioned the post saying: “Ziggy, you have our whole hearts.” Soon after his initial post-birth, Jamie was quick to praise his wife, whom he first met on Made In Chelsea.
He shared with fans: “A wild, incredible experience. Exhausted, full of love, and in awe of my Wife. Already knew she was 10/10, but didn’t realise that level could go even higher, and it continues to grow. You are a complete rockstar and to women around the world.” And their celebrity friends rushed to the comment section of their post.
Their former co-star Emily Blackwell wrote: “Oh my god!!! Congratulations guys I can’t wait to meet him.” The One Show host Alex Jones shared the same sentiment saying: “Hooray!!! Let the adventures begin.”
And singer Jessie J, who has appeared on Jamie’s podcast, wrote: “You did it mama.” Mum of five Stacey Solomon added: “Congratulations.” Back in June, the pair shared the news that they were expecting their first child by posting a video of their scan.
Followers saw Sophie, 31, laying on the hospital bed as the two looked on in awe at the sound of their baby’s heartbeat. Jamie was heard saying: “Are you kidding me?”, while Sophie just stared at the screen showing her unborn child.
While things have remained the same for Jamie, the same can not be said for his wife as she spoke about the downside of pregnancy. She previously admitted that her teeth were “frail and rotting” and has had moments where she fainted while pregnant.
