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 said: 'I didn't come to my senses. I googled it. It says I can't eat it. I was going to give birth and then just be broke and never, ever be able to eat again.'
Habboo is currently co-hosting BBC Radio 1's Going Home show with Laing while both Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton are on maternity leave.

Jamie Laing admits his sex life with wife Sophie Habboo became 'clinical' when they started trying for a baby after couple shared they are expecting their first child
Jamie Laing has admitted that his sex life with wife Sophie Habboo 's became 'clinical' when they started trying for a baby. The TV personality, 36, and podcast star Sophie, 30, recently announced they are expecting their first child earlier this month, and now Jamie has revealed that the pressure to try and conceive changed how he performed in the bedroom. The former Made in Chelsea star explained on the couple's NearlyParents podcast: 'I found it complicated. I don't know why I found it complicated. I just found it complicated at that moment. 'It was a tricky time. I think lots of men probably go through that. They find it complicated to perform, because when you're first doing it, you're like, "Oh my God, this is quite an intense moment". I found, anyway. 'So then when you even start trying for it, I didn't realise how clinical the whole thing is,' Jamie added. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple recently announced they are expecting their first child, and now Jamie has revealed that the pressure to try and conceive changed how he performed in the bedroom 'As soon as we started trying, it was like, "OK, we've got to go clinical like, this isn't like sexy time".' He continued: 'Nothing about it was sexy, nothing about it was cute, nothing about it was romantic. And every single one of my friends that I've spoken to, I would say 99 per cent of my friends have said it all. 'They were like, "Dude, you're basically used as some sort of funnel". That's the grossest way. There's nothing sexy about it.' Jamie admitted it was like a switch went off in his head when he knew he was having sex to create a baby as opposed to doing it for enjoyment with Sophie. He explained: 'As soon as I started to give it a go, and you're like, "Right. We're gonna try for babies", something changed in my head [and] then my body closed off. 'I don't know what happened in my head. Something clicked off. It was weird, and I've spoken to a lot of my friends, that happened to them as well. 'And then it became almost like PTSD in my whole mind, that this couldn't happen as soon as we're like, "We're doing this". 'It's scary. So, this thing goes on, which I think happens with a lot of different people, when they're trying for it.' Elsewhere in the episode, Sophie opened up on their pregnancy journey so far and revealed some of the struggles she'd been dealing. She confessed that when her second trimester, she felt like she was 'dying' and was dealing with a lot of hormones that made her frequently feel irritated, quipping: 'This girl has gone from a bit of a b***h to don't come near me.' She explained: 'Up until week eight, I was smooth sailing. No good aversions, no sickness, so much energy, I was like what is every talking about this is unbelievable. 'Week eight hit and everyone's starting to grate to me a bit. Like that man sat next to me on the plane breathing, like is it illegal if I punch him in the face? 'If you're a fan of the podcast, I love you so much but you're not going to like me if you meet me at the moment.' Jamie, 36, then admitted to struggling to get his head around Sophie's mood changes with pregnancy, recalling: 'I asked Sophie if she had any cravings and she said, 'No, the only craving I have is hating you'. 'I then spent an evening on Reddit looking at "Why does your wife hate her husband so much when they're pregnant". He went on: 'Sophie is teaching me to drive and I'm a little bit nervous in the car and she goes "You're a s**t driver". I'm literally in my head going "Oh my god she's hasn't eaten this is really scary". 'Sophie then gets so angry she says to me "I'm so angry I want to drive us both into the back of this car and kill us". And then she started crying!' Sophie confessed that the 'anger is uncontrollable' but that it 'was very fleeting' as she lamented how her 'enormous t*ts' also meant she couldn't fit in any of her clothes. While Jamie then candidly told listeners how he owed her a real apology after not taking her hormones seriously and threatening to leave her over her 'grumpiness'. Sophie said: 'Jamie was like "Oh you're just milking it, you fake all your hormones, there's no such thing". He went "Oh you're just faking all of this." I was like "Oh my god" as I'm lying there with my enormous t*ts out and I can't fit into a single thing.' Recalling the incident in question, she went on: 'We are leaving and I feel really sick this day and Jamie gets his camera out and goes "I'm going to vlog today". Like on my Sunday that I'm about to vomit all day long. 'And what happened was Jamie sits down and he goes "I'm going to call my friends and ask them what I should do about this. Because I'm going to have to leave you. I'm going to leave you because you're just so unbearable right now."' Jokingly pretending to break down in tears, she went: And I went "You're going to leave me and I'm pregnant".' In defence of his actions, Jamie quickly added: 'The amount of people who are going to call me an a*****e. Just a caveat to add - I had no idea the emotional journey that you go on, how your body changes. 'I just didn't understand the extreme things that go on and since having read stuff on Instagram, I am awe of what you go through. The hormone change is wild.' Showing their Chelsea roots, the couple also revealed that Sophie's worst craving so far was for caviar, recounting how they had dashed round London trying to find a shop that was open at 8pm. Jamie explained they eventually found a caviar store only to discover a single pot cost £240, as he declared: 'I was like "Well that craving has to stop there and then".

The best-selling author was surrounded by his family as he died at home on Monday morning, Curtis Brown added. The former RAF pilot and investigative journalist turned novelist was known for writing thrilling crime books including The Fox, The Kill List, and The Afghan. His agent Jonathan Lloyd said: 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. Novelist Frederick Forsyth has died (Anthony Devlin/PA) 'Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life – In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 – and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived. 'After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. 'Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, The Day Of The Jackal, and instantly became a global best-selling author. 'He went on to write more than 25 books (many of which were made into films) that have sold over 75 million copies. 'He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world – though his books will of course live on forever.'

Vogue Williams admits she wasn't 'mature enough' to marry Brian McFadden
Vogue Williams, who is now married to Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews, has spoken about her first marriage to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden on occasion Presenter Vogue Williams has spoken about her divorce from Brian McFadden. She's opened up about the aftermath of their separation whilst reflecting on her growth as she approaches her milestone 40th birthday this year. Vogue, now 39, was married to former Westlife member Brian, now 45, from 2012 to 2017, though their separation was announced two years prior. She has since spoken about her ex-husband on occasion, including having written about their marriage in her new autobiography Big Mouth. She spoke about him again whilst a guest on a podcast in an episode released last month. Vogue told host Bryony Gordon that she thought she had "ruined" her life by getting divorced from Brian at the age of 31. Speaking about her fortieth birthday later this year, Vogue said: "I think I'm excited about it because remember like ... remember being liked 19 or 20, you think that 40 year olds were just really old and battered, but then when you actually get to it, you're like 'this is a really nice moment'." She continued on the Life of Bryony podcast: "I think in your thirties, you're trying to figure stuff out a little bit more. Because I remember ... I was divorced at 31. I was like 'basically that's it I've ruined my life. I'm never gonna have kids. I'm never gonna do what I always wanted to do'." Vogue, who now has three children with her husband Spencer Matthews, whom she married in 2018, added: "And then you see how your life actually starts to unfold, and that's why I think it's exciting to move into your forties." Elsewhere on the podcast, Vogue said that she considers herself to have been "too young" to get married to Brian, having been 26 at the time. She told Bryony that she "wasn't mature enough" then but was "in love" with the singer. In an interview published last month, Vogue told the Times when she thought the marriage was at risk. She said: "Maybe not long after we got married. Probably just before. I knew that it probably wasn't the greatest of relationships, but I was very young." She suggested that it's "hard to admit defeat" in any relationship and told the outlet that she found it "embarrassing" at the time. She said that it was "such a big failure" and noted that her separation from Brian was "very public". Vogue added that she found it "mortifying" to be divorced in her early thirties and that it was far from where she had hoped that she would be at that age. She said that she had wanted to be married with kids at 30, "not divorced and single". Years later though, she's now married to former Made in Chelsea cast member Spencer, with whom she shares three children. The couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary yesterday after tying the knot back in 2018. Reflecting on the milestone, Vogue wrote in a post joint post with her husband on Instagram last night: "7 years married today. 3 kids, two dogs and a whole lot of fun."
