Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo have been attending couples therapy less than a year after their wedding. Jamie, a reality TV star from Made In Chelsea, shared his experience with therapy on .

He told hosts Susanna Reid and that he suggested therapy to his wife Sophie right after they got married. The couple, who met on Made In Chelsea and started dating in 2019, had two weddings - one at Chelsea Registry Office in London and another grand ceremony in Spain.

Jamie expressed his concern about the high divorce rates and wanted to give his marriage the best shot. When asked by Richard if therapy revealed anything surprising about him, Jamie said: "I think I'm amazing, I was like, 'I don't have any faults' and then I found out that I tend to not listen a lot.

"I do things that can be slightly jarring or irritating, but when you start to have those conversations, I really do think relationships are all about honesty."

Jamie shared his battle with tinnitus in the interview, revealing it's been causing him worry for eight years. He told Susanna, who also has tinnitus: "One in seven people in the world have tinnitus, or some form of tinnitus, so they're hearing some sort of ringing.

"Mine started eight years ago and you have to learn to accept it, which is a really hard thing to do. When you first get tinnitus they say that, 'This is forever, there is no cure and you're going to have to live with it.'"

He then described how he found out about his tinnitus: "I woke up one morning and thought, 'What's that ringing noise?' and I was looking around the flat for the ringing noise before suddenly realising it was coming from inside my head and I was like 'oh my god'.

But, you have to treat it like an air-con in your bedroom, or a fan, or if you go on a summer holiday and you can hear the crickets and suddenly when they stop at night you go, 'Ahh there were the crickets'.

"You just have to tune out of it and realise it is not harmful."

Jamie added: "You have to try and sort of forget about it. But it is incredibly debilitating and it causes anxiety. Anxiety then makes it worse so it's a vicious cycle which makes it very hard to sleep and people have to deal with it around the world and no one talks about it. "

He shared his worries, saying: "Oh my god. I mean when it first started and you realise it's never going to go I was so anxious.

"I thought I was never going to sleep again. I thought I was never going to hear again. It was so loud, I couldn't hear people talking to me [at one point] it was that bad."
