Summary

Hello! Welcome to this special interview with the marvellous Jamie Laing. Jamie’s rise to fame is truly unique; he became a public figure when he joined the popular reality show Made In Chelsea in 2011, and since then, he’s taken his career in a fascinating direction. He is now an adored podcaster, presenter and social media personality alongside his co-star – and now wife, Sophie Haboo. Together as a duo, they’ve transitioned from NearlyWeds to NearlyParents, as they gear up to welcome their first baby together soon. In this episode, Zara and Jamie discuss how reality TV can change you as a person, what it’s like to fall in love - and protect that love - in the public eye, and the point in time when Jamie decided it was time to grow up.
