It’s Jamie’s BIRTHDAY and Sophie’s back with all the chaos, charm and (slightly questionable) singing. The pair celebrate Jamie's big day in style...from school day memories to Sophie trying out a reflexologist’s rather unusual comfort position. PLUS, a very emotional psychic reading.

There are birthday gifts, a heartfelt poem, and some touchingly sweet listener messages. Oh, and Jamie’s still bragging about being a ‘God at sport’…obviously.

With Sophie very pregnant and taking a well-earned break, Jamie’s best mate Proudlock steps in for a chaotic, heartfelt, and slightly spooky Halloween special.

And it’s a very special episode as it’s Proudlock’s 50th birthday! Proudlock gets real about life with two kids, the sleepless nights, the patience-testing tantrums, and the overwhelming love, that makes him tear up.

ALSO, we dive into hospital bag essentials, umbilical cord etiquette and spooky listener stories!

But that’s not all Sophie’s discovering her psychic powers, while Jamie’s trying to solve the most pressing mystery of all... why does he keep smelling farts?! 💨

Get ready for pure birthday chaos 🎂💥

This week, Jamie and Sophie are joined by Midwife Pip for a crash course in childbirth. Brace yourselves for chaos, confusion, and (hopefully) no fainting as Pip guides Jamie through the ultimate hands-on childbirth simulation. Will he rise to the challenge… or need his own epidural by the end of it?

ALSO, Sophie is furious with Jamie for keeping her up all night with his whining, Jamie forces Sophie to take a maths test, and the couple meet a new neighbour who might just be a ghost!? 👻

PLUS, the pair go head-to-head in a Mr & Mrs challenge where Jamie spills the tea on secret snogs with TOWIE cast members, and rate each-other’s skills in the bedroom. 💋

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.

This week, things get SAUCY as Jamie and Sophie dial up the heat and try phone s*x for the very first time! Expect clumsy dirty talk, questionable role play, dodgy accents - and Sophie seriously considering divorce. 📞💦

Plus, Sophie CRIES over Jamie’s freshly bleached hair, and reveals which band she wants performing live on the labour ward while she gives birth. 

ALSO, the couple accidentally crash a nightclub, Sophie is STILL constipated, and Jamie quizzes her on what “s*x-adjacent” activities she’d be up for during pregnancy… leading to a shocking confession that might just be their wildest yet. 👀

This week, Jamie and Sophie are joined by doula extraordinaire Poppy Child, who swoops in with some much-needed wisdom — and the occasional reality check. 

From breathing tips to contraction hacks, Poppy talks them through the A–Z of surviving childbirth. PLUS, Poppy gives Jamie a live tutorial in perineal massage — but will Jamie’s enthusiasm score him top of the class, or just a pain in Sophie’s derrière? 🍑 Brace yourselves... it’s about to get weird. 

ALSO, the couple have a scandalous sex update and a heated debate about which positions they’ll try next time they do the deed. 👀
