Sophie Habboo's 'really bad' pregnancy craving prompts mums to share similar strange urges
Pregnancy cravings, often triggered by hormonal changes, are a common experience during pregnancy. For some mothers, cravings can be burdensome if they revolve around fatty or unhealthy foods.
For other parents-to-be, it can be a complete treat to chow down on their favourite meal for nine whole months. Celebrities get the insatiable urge for certain foods while awaiting their bundle of joy, too.
In the first episode of her rebranded podcast with husband Jamie Laing, former Made In Chelsea star Sophie Habboo, 30, revealed she has a "really bad" pregnancy craving for caviar.
The couple's podcast, which was formerly called NearlyWeds and then NewlyWeds, following their wedding in 2023, will now be called NearlyParents, in the lead-up to the birth of their first child.
In their debut episode, titled We're Having A Baby, Habboo and Laing, 36, shared the story of how and when they decided to try for a baby.

The couple also discussed the methods Habboo used to track her ovulation and the cravings she has experienced since becoming pregnant.
Laing said: "Sophie said, 'Oh, it's really annoying. I've got a really bad craving.'
"And I said, 'Well, what is the craving?' She said, 'Caviar.' So, we went to the store. We went. We found a caviar store, and we went in there, and there was caviar there. And I was like, 'Okay, we're surely not buying this.'
"The pot was £240, and I was like, that craving, has to stop there and then. And thank God, you came to your senses."
Habboo interjected hotly, though, insisting that she didn't come to her senses - she just googled caviar and found out she couldn't eat it while the countdown was on until baby Laing arrived.
"[Otherwise] I was going to give birth and then just be broke and never, ever be able to eat again," Sophie confessed, laughing.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), pregnant women should only eat fish, meat, poultry, and eggs that have been thoroughly cooked. Since caviar is often consumed raw, although there is no explicit guidance against eating it while pregnant, doing so is generally deemed not worth the risk.
The reality star's admission has moved other mums to share the urges their experiencing during this sacred time.
Taking to Mumsnet, one woman confessed: "I'm only seven weeks and I can't stop thinking about roast lamb and gravy. This is strange because not only has it been close to 30 degrees and definitely not the weather for a roast, but I've never been that fond of lamb. It's unfortunately a very difficult (and EXPENSIVE!) craving to fulfil."
Another scribed: "Oranges by the net full, and really cold milk by the pint. I wouldn't drink a pint of milk before or since if you paid me!"
A third threw a curveball, writing: "I've been chewing on sponges. Proper weird stuff."
A fourth explained: "Normally I can't get enough of onions but now I can't stand them. I bring them up immediately. I also can't stand the smell or taste of butter. Plain water makes me want to puke.
"I can only do simple foods and put ketchup with everything. So embarrassing as I love cooking and fine dining. But I just want fish finger/chicken nugget sandwiches with white bread and ketchup.
"And sweet yoghurts, rice pudding and cornflakes."

Georgia Toffolo looks carefree as she shares sizzling bikini-clad snaps during sunny Marbella getaway with husband James Watt amid BrewDog founder's business woes
Georgia Toffolo flaunted her toned figure in a skimpy bikini as she relaxed at the beach while on holiday in Marbella with husband James Watt. The Made In Chelsea star, 30, took to her Instagram on Sunday to share a slew of sizzling snaps of her soaking up the sun in a tiny navy blue two-piece. Displaying her chiselled midriff and long legs, she stretched out on a deckchair with her feet in the surf to top up her bronzed glow. Georgia also slipped into a semi-sheer maxi skirt and grabbed a hand-held fan to pose for a string of stunning photos on the luxury getaway. Taking to the caption, she raved about her relaxation day and offered tips to her followers, writing: 'This and not knowing what day it is! P.S. take this as a sign to buy a beach chair like the locals have. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!' Georgia looked utterly carefree in the snaps, despite her husband James' company being hit by another major blow. It has been revealed that BrewDog's beers have been axed by almost 2,000 pubs across Britain, as the embattled brewers' popularity continues to wane. James founded the company in 2007 by with Martin Dickie, with firm rising to prominence in the 2010s amid a surge in demand for independent beers and hoppy IPAs. However in recent years, the company's fortunes have started to turn, with their range of draught beers having disappeared entirely from around 1,860 pubs in the last two years, according to private industry data. The blow means BrewDog's UK distribution has been cut by more than a third. It also shows that its best-known beer, Punk IPA, has suffered the worst loss after being removed from 1,980 pubs – a 52 per cent decline in distribution. Pubs are now reducing their offerings or opting for rival beers such as Camden Town and Beavertown instead. The data, which was seen by the Telegraph, revealed most of the pubs scrapping BrewDog beers are part of large chains, removing a key source of revenue for the brewer at the same time as it struggles to revive its fortunes. BrewDog recorded losses of £59m in 2023 and £30.5m in 2022, with its CEO admitting in a recent interview that the company would be making another loss this year. It has been revealed that BrewDog's beers have been axed by almost 2,000 pubs across Britain, as the embattled brewers' popularity continues to wane (James pictured in BrewDog's) Last month, the company announced the closure of 10 of its own branded bars across the UK, including its flagship site in Aberdeen, after deciding they were not 'commercially viable'. And the chain had started the year by closing six pubs across the world, including two in England, three in Europe and one in England. The firm is continuing to weather accusations of an image problem after ditching its claim to be 'carbon negative' after it ditched offsetting schemes that it claimed were both too expensive and not efficient enough to justify the label. It had already been criticised for using the label by advertising watchdogs, and was slammed by environmentalists for its claim of creating a carbon-negative forest in Scotland after it was revealed that half of the 500,000 saplings had already died. BrewDog's reputation has taken a hammering in recent years after being embroiled in a number of publicity storms. The firm was accused by former workers in an open letter in 2021 of having a 'culture of fear' within the business, with 'toxic attitudes' towards junior staff, with BrewDog apologising and promising to 'listen, learn and act' James later admitted to being 'too intense and demanding' amid a workplace culture row where he was accused of inappropriate behaviour and abusing his power. Speaking with on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast about his leadership, he admitted to previously pushing people 'too far' because of his 'high standards', but insisted that his actions were done with '100 per cent good intentions.' James then stepped back from the role of CEO in May 2024 amidst a flurry of accusations of improper conduct, being replaced by current CEO James Taylor. He left three months after Ofcom rejected a complaint he had lodged against the BBC after it made a documentary outlining misconduct allegations. The self-described BrewDog 'Captain' faced a number of improper conduct allegations in 2021 concerning female staff, and was revealed to have invested in Heineken, contrasting with his brewery's anti-establishment 'punk' image. James denied claims that he made female bartenders feel 'uncomfortable' and 'powerless' and that he would take intoxicated women on private late-night tours of the brewery. He went on to tie the knot with Georgia earlier this year, onboard a fishing boat just off the coast of the picturesque town of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire. The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000, while on holiday in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. In May, it was revealed the pair are worth a staggering £425 million, according to The Sunday Times, overtaking the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lord Sainsburys, Harry Styles and Lewis Hamilton.

Binky Felstead displays her washboard abs in a skimpy bikini as she enjoys a lavish trip with partner Max Darnton
Binky Felstead flaunted her washboard abs in a bikini as she enjoyed a lavish trip to France with partner Max Darnton. The former Made in Chelsea star, 35, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a glimpse of her sizzling holiday style. She looked incredible in the blue two-piece as she danced under the sun while travelling around the the country in a yacht. Binky and Max, who have been married since 2021, looked happier than ever as they were joined by friends for their luxurious trip. In one snap, the former TV personality could be seen dancing in a little black dress while waving the England flag. Alongside her album of snaps, Binky penned: 'A day of salt water therapy & a lot of fun with a glorious crew' The trip comes after Binky opened up about a post-birth health issue which left her 'freaking out' and convinced she would lose her teeth. She was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention. Binky is a proud mother-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one. Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums. Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same. 'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.' She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children. Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'. She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it. Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'. Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real. In recent weeks, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip. India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil. In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?' India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop. Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family. She started dating her husband Max Fin January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.

Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood looks loved-up on romantic stroll with new girlfriend
Both Fearne Cotton and Jesse Wood appear to be in happy relationships after their split was announced in December last year after 10 years of marriage. Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood has been spotted on a romantic stroll with girlfriend Gemma Gregory in West London this week. The musician, 48, and the former Made in Chelsea star, 39, looked happier than ever as they stepped out together. Jesse dressed down in a black bomber jacket, black t-shirt and khaki trousers, with some matching black trainers. He accessorised with a chain around his neck and silver rings and was pictured holding a water bottle and his phone in his hands, as seen in pictures obtained by MailOnline. Meanwhile, Gemma looked stunning in a white frilly Summer dress and a pair of colourful blue and red wedge-style heels. She brought the look together with gold jewellery and a pair on sunglasses, which she wore on her dress. The couple were all smiles as they enjoyed a laugh during their outing together. The pair went public with their relationship back in April and things seem like their going from strength to strength. Jesse and Fearne, 43, announced their shock split in December after 10 years of marriage. She said that their priority is to look after their children, son Rex, 12, and daughter Honey, nine. The statement read: 'It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been, and always will be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.' Jesse isn't the only one who has moved on as Fearne is in a relationship with Rivals director Elliot Hegarty, 53. The two were first spotted enjoying a passionate kiss while in Soho in February. A source told The Sun at the time: 'Fearne and Elliot have known each other for a while. When their marriages ended their friendship developed into romance. 'They have been seeing each other since January. Her split with Jesse was incredibly difficult but Elliot seems to make her incredibly happy. Fearne is now introducing Elliot to friends and they're pleased to see her smiling again.' Fearne and Elliot were spotted again in July after arriving in Mallorca for a romantic holiday. The loved-up pair were seen locking lips in baggage reclaim at Palma airport. The presenter recently admitted to feeling the pressure of trying to raise her kids while juggling her media career. Speaking to the Women's Health magazine's new podcast, Just As Well, she revealed she felt as though she was "dropping a lot of balls" and struggling to do anything "particularly well". She added: "I had nothing the kids liked for breakfast on Monday, nothing. I had cereal, but no milk. I had butter, but no bread. I tried to make pancakes, I had no maple syrup. It is like an absolute s**t show. "So I'm just dropping lots of balls constantly and never feeling like I'm doing anything particularly well. But enjoying most of it. I would say enjoying most of it."
