Laing and Habboo Discuss Son Ziggys Docuseries Role

and have opened up on whether their baby son Ziggy will appear on their new Disney+ show, Raising Chelsea, as they admitted they were in a 'complicated place' over it.

The former  stars welcomed their first child together, son Ziggy, in December, and documented their pregnancy journey and the birth in the three-part series.

So far, Jamie, 37, and Sophie, 31, have refrained from showing their son's face on social media, sticking solely to sharing photos of the little boy from behind or carefully obscured from view.

But it was not yet known whether this would change with their upcoming TV show, which the couple have promised offers a no-holds-barred and authentic account of their lives.

Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their Table Manners podcast, Sophie confessed that she had always wanted to keep Ziggy off social media and the show, with the pair initially not wanting the birth to be filmed either.

However, she said the situation had become a 'bit complicated', with Jamie admitting that they were hesitant because they had no idea of what the future of social media would be, and whether Ziggy would later be resentful of his parents' decision.

Sophie said: 'I never wanted to show, and we haven't shown Ziggy on social media. So the idea was always, we'll do this series and it will be about my pregnancy, and we actually weren't planning on shooting past birth. 

'Like we weren't even going to shoot the birth. And I didn't actually want Ziggy [in it] and they were okay with Ziggy not being in it. We're sort of at a stage now where it's a bit complicated with that.'

'I think we would, we're going to show a little bit, but not really,' Jamie continued. 'And also, we're in a complicated place with social media and kids and things like that, because I don't know where social media is going to go. 

'Like what happens if they suddenly turn 10 years old, and everyone hates social media and they go, "Why do you put me on that?"'

However, despite their apprehensions, he explained that they had decided to share their parenting journey because he had a deep passion for telling true stories and that by being producers on the show, he and Sophie had 'control' over it.

While he added that the Disney+ series felt like a natural continuation of the path the couple had already started on, having met on a TV show and documented their wedding via podcast. 

He said: 'But the reason we did it was ever since I was a kid, I had a video camera wherever I went. Like I filmed everything. So I have archives and archives and archives of me. Behind the camera, in front of the camera I just document. 

'I was like the original vlogging before vlogging was a thing. So that was what I always liked doing, and then doing our podcast and doing reality TV. I love the idea of sharing true stories and real stories; that's what I really like.

'And I also think with this Disney show, we're producers on it, so we were in control.  So in some ways, we're in control, but we're also showing it's very real. Everything you see is incredibly real, which was the point of doing it.

'I loved showing true stories and I really believe love is the best thing. Love and humour, I think is amazing. And I think what Soph and I do is we portray our relationship in such a real way. 

'But this whole journey of pregnancy and the emotions and the ups and downs, the lefts and rights, we thought that would be really interesting to document. And we did our wedding via a podcast, which was kind of fun and exciting, so this was a sort of level up of doing it.'

He added: 'It was tough at times. [Sophie] found it really hard, because cameras in your face while your pregnant is a lot.

'I just thought it would be a lot of fun. I get to hang out with my best mate and my wife, and film content and film a show.'

However, the couple explained that they had initially declined to allow Ziggy's birth for the show, feeling it was too 'intimate and private'.

'There was this whole discussion, "Do we want to film the birth? Do we not want to film the birth?",' Jamie explained. 'And a lot of people will be like, "Why do you even want to film this part of your life, let alone film that?" 

'And so we're going through this whole thing, and then the decision was to not let the cameras in. We were like, we're not going to let the cameras in, we don't want to do that to the actual birth, because it's very intimate and private.

'So we were expecting to have this normal natural birth, and it'd be totally fine and magical, and all these different things. And then suddenly, this thing happened where it was an emergency C-section.

'And when that happens, you panic. I was in this complete panic zone. Soph was staying so calm. It was insane. I was suddenly in scrubs, the whole thing was just wild.'

But Jamie revealed that their anaesthetist, who Sophie branded 'the most incredible lady ever', then 'just picked up the phone and started recording' without the couple knowing, later telling them: 'You'll want this in the future'.

And after watching the video the next day, Sophie said she changed her mind about sharing the moment onscreen for fans after seeing how 'emotional' the footage was. 

While Jamie confessed that even he was surprised by how 'raw' and 'magical' the moment was thanks to him and Sophie being entirely unaware of the fact they were on camera. 

'What you see in the series is, like, we didn't even know the cameras were there,' he said.

'For us it's so magical, because it doesn't matter what the situation, if you know there's a camera on you, you probably will act a little bit differently, because there's a camera.

'But we didn't even know someone was filming. So that is raw, exactly what was going on in this situation, which is kind of wild. It was a wild, intense, magical moment.'

Speaking to the about the birth footage last week, Jamie admitted that he was taken aback and touched by how in love he and Sophie looked during the life-changing moment.

 He recalled: '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".'

Elsewhere in the exclusive interview, Sophie confessed to having her own doubts about herself being filmed around the clock, despite having spent years in front of the camera.

She admitted that in her vulnerable position as an expectant mother, she found herself longing for privacy more than ever before, but now was grateful for having done it.

She said: 'It was very unknown, we went from Made In Chelsea and then we did the podcast, it was two and a half hours a week being recorded and then it went out, but this was really different. 

'This is them in our bedroom, this is them at our scans, watching the birth... it's so different, I was nervous.

'It was hard for me at first. I have never craved privacy more than I did when I was pregnant which was really crazy because then I was filming a TV show.

'It was strange at first because I was anxious, it was my first time, I felt really nervous about lots of different things but looking back, I'm really glad we did do that because we have captured it all and now I'm past it it's so nice to look back on.'

While Jamie recalled how 'terrified' and powerless he felt during the birth, after Sophie had to have an emergency C-section, describing it as 'the scariest thing I've ever been through.'

After arriving at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital - where Kate Middleton  welcomed her children - and having her waters broken, it was discovered their son's arm was through Sophie's cervix, meaning her birth plans had to be changed.

Jamie said he could never have anticipated the sudden complications during Sophie's labour, telling the Mail: '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.'

While Sophie added: 'The complications were really scary. 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.'
