This week, things get painfully real. Sophie straps Jamie into a labour simulator — and let’s just say, he might finally understand why women deserve every snack, foot rub, and gold medal going. Will he tough it out like a hero, or crumble faster than you can say “contractions”?

ALSO, Sophie’s dreaming of a cervical sweep, Jamie’s OBSESSED with breast milk, and we get a graphic description of Sophie’s bits. You’ve been warned.

PLUS, the couple reminisce about their wild Freshers Week partying, and Sophie doesn’t hold back telling Jamie he’s absolutely not ready for parenthood.
