Jamie Laing made a very honest confession about his lack of knowledge when it comes to pregnancy.
The TV star, 36 and his wife, Sophie Habboo, 30, are currently expecting their first child and announced the happy news at the beginning of the month.
The couple has been flooded with support from fans and has shared updates about their pregnancy, including some sweet images of Sophie’s growing baby bump.
On their joint podcast, the couple spoke about their conception journey as Jamie confessed to being slightly less knowledgeable when it came to the ins and outs of conceiving a child.
Jamie revealed on his podcast that he was getting numerous sperm checks in the lead up to conceiving, but was slightly clueless about how conception happened.
‘Turns out I had no idea about this. I honestly thought for the whole of my life right? That I was walking around with a loaded gun.’
Sophie immediately said his phrase was a ‘rank description’ as he continued to say he thought his penis was a ‘loaded gun full of semen’.
‘I thought it was easy to get anyone pregnant, like so easy,’ he said.
Sophie added that he was ‘thick’ when it came to speaking about fertility and revealed that he wanted to try for a baby even when she was on her period.
He added that he had no idea that women could only get pregnant on just one day of the month.
This podcast episode comes as the couple rebrands their podcast, NewlyWeds to NearlyParents.
In a press release about the change Sophie said: ‘I’m so excited for this next chapter of our podcast, and of our lives! I feel like NewlyWeds has always been about sharing the real, messy, and wonderful parts of our relationship, and now we get to do the same as we start our family. It feels so special to bring our listeners along for the ride.’
Jamie added: I can’t wait to share this chapter of our lives with you – and to have a whole new bunch of hilarious stories to share!
‘NearlyParents is going to be all about the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of not only becoming parents, but how we also navigate everything life throws at us in between!’

The pair then saw the scan and Jamie could be heard saying, ‘Are you kidding me?’ The camera then panned to an excited Sophie listening to the heartbeat.
