Sophie Habboo has revealed the moment Jamie Laing turned “green” after she teased him with a surprise baby revelation, months before the couple discovered they were actually expecting.

The pair, who first met on Made In Chelsea before tying the knot two years ago, took to Instagram last Tuesday (June 3) to share the delightful news that they’re expecting their first child, receiving a flood of well-wishes from fans and fellow celebs.

In addition to their baby joy, the duo also announced a major change to their popular NewlyWeds podcast, which has now aptly been renamed NearlyParents as they gear up for the new adventure.

However, casting her mind back to the time before the pregnancy was confirmed, Sophie recounted how Jamie was initially apprehensive about fatherhood.

She reminisced about his pale-faced response during a meal out last year when she quipped about possibly being pregnant.

Sophie revealed: “You went green. You went green. In fact, we went for lunch with my sister and I said just as a joke, maybe I’m pregnant. I was like a day late on my period.”

She continued: “We were not trying at this point. We hadn’t really discussed it, and Jamie left the restaurant and never came back.”

Trying to shed light on his past reaction, he admitted feeling “panicked” about becoming a dad, recalling the episode as: “I was having a mild panic. This was like last year and that was a bit… Honey, it was scary for me at that point.”

He also expressed the fears many feel on the brink of parenthood: “You don’t understand how scary it is when you’re like going into this world of having, or even thinking about having kids.”
