The couple Jamie, 37, and Sophie, 31, began their podcast NearlyWeds after getting engaged, before switching the name to NewlyWeds after tying the knot in 2023.
After announcing they were expecting their first child together last year, the podcast became NearlyParents, before they put it on hold with the arrival of their son Ziggy in December.
However, the couple are bringing the podcast back, now titled NewlyParents, with it set to launch on Monday.
And to celebrate their return, the pair donned grey wigs, detailed wrinkle prosthetics, grey hair and specialised makeup to become elderly versions of themselves for a hilarious and wild advert.
The video sees an elderly Jamie holding an equally elderly-looking Sophie's hand as she lies in a hospital bed, surrounded by photos of their life as a couple together.

The Made In Chelsea couple Jamie, 37, and Sophie, 31, began their podcast NearlyWeds after getting engaged, before switching the name to NewlyWeds after tying the knot in 2023
And to celebrate their return, the pair donned grey wigs, detailed wrinkle prosthetics, grey hair and specialised makeup to become elderly versions of themselves for a hilarious and wild advert
While many are real snapshots from their wedding day and the birth of their baby son Ziggy, there are also digitally created shots of the pair aged up, as well as shots of them on the moon and one of a newspaper announcing Jamie as Prime Minister.
Old Jamie then tells his wife: 'I still can't believe we did that. What a ride we had. You know I've been thinking. There's one thing that I really regret. That we didn't bring the podcast back one more time.'
However, suddenly Sophie begins flat-lining, causing Jamie to panic and call for help and beg: 'No Sophie, wake up! Forget I mentioned the podcast, I didn't mean it. Wake up please!'
She suddenly wakes up as her normal 31-year-old self in bed, breathing a sigh of relief as she says: 'Oh my god I just had the worst nightmare, thank god it isn't real'.
However, upon looking at the bottom of her bed she's shocked to see Jamie holding Ziggy and surrounded by an entire crew with cameras, lightening and sound equipment, as he declares: 'We're back baby!'
The video had fans in stitches, including several of their famous fans with Dani Dyer and Tasha Ghouri both commenting a string of laughing emojis, while Sophie's BFF Melissa Tattam writing: 'Omg I’m laughing but also made me cry lol'.

While fans couldn't help but poke fun at the pair's make-up, with many quipping that Jamie resembled Dr. Seuss character, The Lorax, Ellen Degeneres or the late Bruce Forsyth.
They wrote: 'All I can think about watching this is how much you all would have howled with laughter doing this makeup and pretending to be old. welcome back ❤️'
'omg this is the best advert i’ve ever seen. can you make the @johnlewis christmas ad this year please?'; 'Wait. Why was this actually quite moving'.
'Thought this was a trailer for NearlyDead'; 'So glad you guys are back. My emotional support podcast. I’ve been lost without you every week';
'The fact Jamie still thinks he's going to have that much hair by the time he's an OAP'; 'Jamie looks like the Lorax';

'Its giving young Bruce Forsyth'; 'Jamey you look the spitting image of the Actor Leslie Phillips DING DONG'; 'Best couple on social media ❤️❤️we love you both ❤️❤️';
'Not me thinking this was Ellen'; 'Can't wait to hear you guys again ..... Your advert made me laugh so much!!!'.
It comes after Jamie revealed he wants three more children and hit out at modern parents for 'mollycoddling' their children.
Speaking to The Times earlier this week, he said: 'Our son was born in December, so we're juggling the joys of new parenthood at the moment, which is a wild ride. I can't really think beyond that… but I'd go for four, potentially.
'I've heard that going from one to two is a big adjustment. Then from two to three is, like, whatever. Once you have three you may as well have ten.'
Jamie went on to stress that children need to learn resilience for themselves and it's finding a 'balance' of not overprotecting them.
The TV personality said: 'If I fell off my bike as a kid it was, pick yourself up and let's keep going. I actually think that's a really good thing to instil in kids. Modern-day parenting is a bit too mollycoddling.
'In some ways my mum's parenting style was probably to leave me in a pram underneath a tree. I don't think that's necessarily a good idea. But also, it's OK for your child to be stung by a nettle — it's not going to kill them. It's a balance, of course.'
Jamie and Sophie documented her pregnancy and the birth of son Ziggy in their Disney+ show, Raising Chelsea, which dropped last month.
It saw the moment that Sophie was rushed for an emergency Caesarean section, with Jamie recalling how 'terrified' and powerless he felt.

He admitted to Daily Mail that he could never have anticipated the sudden complications during Sophie's labour, describing it as 'the scariest thing I've ever been through.'
Sophie, who gave birth at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, where welcomed her children, admitted she was 'really scared' as it wasn't the birth she had planned, but said she is grateful their son arrived safely.
Jamie said: 'From my point of view, it was the scariest thing I have ever been through in my entire life.
'Watching your wife go through that, the person you love, and this baby, and you have no control. It was the most terrifying thing ever. Nothing can prepare you for that.'
'The complications were really scary', Sophie added. 'Obviously, it wasn't the birth I planned or necessarily wanted, it was scary, but birth is different for every woman and however you do it is incredible and he's here and he's healthy and they were incredible.'
The couple also admitted that capturing the most important moment of their lives for TV wasn't an easy decision or pre-planned.
Sophie explained she had wanted to keep it private, until the emotional footage - shot by their anaesthetist - convinced her to change her mind.
She recalled: 'I'll be honest, I said, "I'm really sorry guys, I really don't want the birth to be filmed, I really need that moment to be a private moment".
'And what happened was there were complications, and I ended up having an emergency C-section. The anaesthetist took our phone to take photos and filmed the entire thing… we didn't even know, we had no idea.
'The next day, I was looking at all the photos of the birth, and I was like, "oh my God, there's an 11-minute-long video". I pressed play, and it was so emotional.'
Jamie, who admits he enjoys being followed by cameras and believes storytelling lies at the heart of everything he does, confessed that even he was surprised by how in love he and Sophie appeared in the raw footage.
He said: 'It was the most amazing, romantic, and what's incredible about that moment, Sophie and I didn't know it was being filmed because it was supposed to be for our own personal use, but watching it I was like, "oh my God, Soph, look how in love we are", you're seeing it from an outside perspective.
'And Soph, after thinking about it for a long time, said I think we should put that in because it'll be amazing to see.
'That was a very scary moment because the birth - I now salute all women, I walk down the street and if I see a woman with a pram I'm like, you hero. It's unbelievable.'
