SHE wore an "iconic" Vivienne Westwood dress when she married Jamie Laing in London.

But Sophie Habboo has revealed the sample-sized dress was so tight that she had to sleep in it on her wedding night - and her mum had to cut her out of it the morning after the big day.

"I never wanted to wear a long dress for my London day," she said in an interview with Amanda Wakeley on her StyleDNA podcast.

Of the Westwood number, which set her back a cool £3,800, she added: "There was none in my size. I think I'm wearing a sample and it was a bit ripped.

"The stitching was all coming out because it was sample.

"And then I couldn't get it off.

"The zip jarred, so I actually, I slept in it!

Because of "the boning" in the dress, she thought her "ribs were going to collapse" .

"Then at 11:00am, after trying for hours, my mum just had to cut it."

Amanda also asked Sophie why she wore sunglasses on her London wedding day, as she was photographed kissing Jamie outside the venue wearing them.

"That was a very last minute decision," she said.

"They were my mum's sunglasses.

"She put them on and I didn't have mine and Jamie put his on and, I don't know, there was a lot of press outside, I think.

"I just thought, 'Oh, my God, Mum, can I have your sunglasses?'

"Not even thinking whether they look okay or anything.

"And she just took them off and gave them to me and they seem to look kinda good."

"Something old, something new. How lovely!" Amanda concluded.

Sophie went all out for her wedding looks.

And for her Spanish nuptials, the stunning blonde opted for a bespoke wedding dress from Emma Beaumont.

While it's not known exactly how much that gown was, it is estimated to have been between £5,000 and £10,000.

She teamed the dress with a long veil, complete with delicate lace edging.
