Sophie Habboo has revealed husband Jamie Laing tearfully begged her for sex just three weeks after giving birth, following the pair remaining almost celibate through her pregnancy. 

The Made In Chelsea stars became parents for the first time when they welcomed baby son Ziggy in December and documented the journey in a series for Disney+ called Raising Chelsea

Speaking on their NewParents podcast on Friday, Jamie, 37, admitted being disappointed by the lack of sex he was receiving after he and Sophie, 31, returned home from hospital. 

'I thought we were going to go back to normal as a couple and being a bit frisky with each other' to which she replied: 'When have we ever been frisky with each other?'.

While Jamie exclaimed that they were 'frisky' at the beginning of her pregnancy, Sophie snapped back: 'We were celibate for a whole year during my pregnancy, we did it twice during the whole year.'

She then went on to recall how Jamie was 'literally crying' and insisted their lack of intimacy was 'not normal' after the new mum refused to have sex.

Speaking on their NewParents podcast on Friday, Jamie, 37, admitted being disappointed by the lack of sex he was receiving after he Sophie, 31, returned home from hospital

'Jamie at three weeks was like "We need to have sex, this is not normal, please Sophie I've waited a year" literally crying and stamped your little arms and legs and said you'd waited a year'.

She went on: 'Firstly I actually physically cannot, I have stitches all over me down there. Secondly, I have to be signed off by the doctor and you were like "oh, that's bulls***, it's always an excuse with you, you don't have to be signed off by the doctor".

Sophie said that she was so furious she forced her husband to phone the doctor for him to clarify that what she was saying was the truth.

Jamie giggled: 'Sophie said "I'm not having sex with you because I've just had my stomach ripped open and I've got stitches everywhere, I have our son sucking on my nipple every single day, I'm tired, I'm exhausted, I'm floored, the last thing I want is you breathing on me, get out of here"'.

It comes after Jamie  revealed he left wife 'raging' with fury in the bedroom when they were trying to conceive their first child.

Appearing on Olivia Attwood's podcast on Thursday alongside his wife, he revealed the pressure of trying to conceive meant he failed to perform in the bedroom.

She then went on to recall how Jamie was 'literally crying' and insisted their lack of intimacy was 'not normal' after the new mum refused to have sex 

Speaking on Olivia's House, Jamie said of the pressure of trying to get pregnant: 'For some reason, every part of my being was like "don't do this" and I was like, "What's going on?" So, nothing was working.'

'Wait, nothing was working?' shocked host Olivia asked, as Jamie repeated: 'Nothing was working.'

His wife Sophie then shared how furious she was at the time, saying: 'Raging, I was like, you're f*****g joking, this is f****d…' 

Jamie then shared of the pressure to perform: 'She [Sophie] was like, "I'm ovulating". I was like, "How long for?"'

'So the pressure got to you?' Olivia asked, as Jamie added: 'So much pressure, so much pressure. It was like so full on.'
