Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jamie Laing<\/a> has revealed his anxieties about becoming a father, confessing: “I’m really scared”.<\/p>\n

The Made in Chelsea personality, 36, announced via Instagram<\/a> in June that he and wife Sophie Habboo are expecting their first baby together.<\/p>\n

The pair, who began their relationship in 2019 before marrying in 2023, shared the exciting news with fans earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking on ITV’s This Morning<\/a> on Monday (November 17) with presenters Cat Deeley<\/a> and Ben Shephard<\/a>, Jamie provided an update on the pregnancy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reality television figure was promoting his latest book, Boys Don’t Cry, in which he discusses his previously undisclosed struggle with bulimia, reports OK!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied by best mate Sam Thompson<\/a>, who offered his support as Jamie spoke candidly about his hidden health battle.<\/p>\n

Cat was quick to highlight the pair’s close bond, suggesting it would prove useful when Jamie’s baby arrives. The presenter remarked: “The great thing is, you’ve got a ready baby sitter.”<\/p>\n

Sam interjected: “He would never. He would never.” Cat added: “You can phone him up at the last minute.”<\/p>\n

Everyone burst out laughing as Jamie responded: “Do you think I’m going to leave my baby with him?”. Defending Sam, Cat pointed out, “He’s got experience with his sister’s little ones. Let him have a go.”<\/p>\n

Ben, shifting the focus to Jamie’s book, highlighted: “You’ve written in your book that you’ve written it for your little one.”<\/p>\n

He then queried: “So how do you feel about the baby’s arrival?” Jamie confessed: “I’m really scared. It’s so intense. I’ve just passed my test for the second time.”<\/p>\n

Ben questioned: “To drive her (Sophie) to the hospital?” Jamie affirmed: “Yes, because I lost it (his licence) because if you go too fast on the road, it’s a problem. You don’t need a licence to have a baby, but you need a licence to drive a car.”<\/p>\n

The star was left gobsmacked as Ben unveiled that they had a special gift for his unborn child. Ben announced, “We have a little present for you.”<\/p>\n

Sam was thrilled as he exclaimed, “Of course we do.” Jamie turned to Sam and asked: “What is it? Did you get it yourself?”<\/p>\n

Sam stumbled over his words as he responded: “Umm, no.”<\/p>\n

The King of the Jungle then produced a white baby grow as he continued: “It’s a little this morning baby grow. I love This Morning and you’re part of the family.<\/p>\n

“We love you so much, and honestly, listening to you speak about what you’re going through, you’re going to help so many people.”<\/p>\n

Sam added, “You’re one of the loveliest people I know, and I really do mean that. Enjoy this because I know it’s going to be the first thing you put on.”<\/p>\n
