Sophie Habboo cosies up to husband Jamie Laing after opening up on ‘debilitating anxiety’

Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing looked loved-up on the red carpet, following Sophie's admission that she has recently been suffering from "debilitating anxiety."

The couple, who tied the knot in London in April, with a lavish second wedding held in Marbella a month later, posed for photos at the British Podcast Awards, where their NearlyWeds podcast is nominated for an award.

Opting for some low-key outfits, Sophie, 29, donned a pair of white jeans and a blue denim waistcoat, which she paired with some white boots and a number of chunky bracelets.

Meanwhile, Jamie sported a some black jeans and white shirt, which he teamed with a black-and-white patterned overshirt.

They were joined at the event by Jamie's best pal Spencer Matthews and his wife Vogue Williams, along with fellow ex-Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, whose podcast was also up for an award.

Sophie's appearance at the star-studded event comes after she opened up about seeking professional help for her anxiety.

Fans had been left concerned after the reality TV star had been noticeably absent from both Instagram and her and Jamie's podcast over the past few weeks.

But all became clear as she broke her silence on her Instagram stories with a lengthy statement in which she said she was "not feeling myself" and made the decision to "go away to recoup" and "get back to myself".


She wrote: "The truth is, I have struggled with anxiety for many years, but the last year it got pretty debilitating. And as much as I love showing you guys my life, doing the podcasts with my husband and best friend, it was becoming progressively hard to be that person as I just was not feeling myself.

"The more I continued to live in that space without talking about it and trying to put a plaster on it, the worse I felt.

"So, I decided to go away to recoup, be in a place that I could get professional help so that I could get back to myself, understand what was going on what was causing me to feel this way and change it."

Sophie continued: "I'm now back and I wanted to share this with you, because not only am I so grateful to have been able to go and get help, but I also am so grateful to have been able to get back to a place where I feel like me again.

"I've learnt a lot and I know this is something that will be part of my life forever, but I have the tools to manage it now and I want to be able to be honest with you guys as I felt like I was lying to you by not telling you and showing you only one side of me on social etc.

"But truly, I am very, very, very grateful to all of you, you've sent me such kind, supportive messages and I am so happy to be back, and able to live life finally as a newly wed!!"
