Ferne McCann has opened out about having a miscarriage before becoming pregnant with her second child.
The First Time Mom actress already has a 5-year-old daughter with ex-partner Arthur Collins, who is serving a 20-year jail sentence for throwing acid at a nightclub and injuring many people in 2017.
She just revealed that she and fiancé Lorri Haines, who also has a son, are expecting their second child.
Nevertheless, the 32-year-old had a miscarriage five weeks into her last pregnancy.
Sharing her heartbreaking ordeal, Ferne said: ‘We found out that I was pregnant, we were so excited and it just felt like the right time to expand our family.
‘And then very early on, we had a miscarriage as well.’
‘When I was approximately five weeks, I started bleeding and I was feverishly scanning the internet, because I didn’t want to acknowledge what I knew deep down was truly occurring, and that was my body rejecting and letting go of this kid,’ Ferne explained to viewers.
‘I was really, really upset. I think Lorri found it really hard to comprehend.’
Earlier this month, Ferne confirmed the exciting news she was pregnant with her second child, telling the world: ‘We have been bursting at the seams with happiness & so excited to officially share our lovely news with you.’
She later opened up to Metro.co.uk about the pregnancy, saying: ‘I’m feeling really good. To be honest, I had this with Sunday: In between my scans, especially when you’re in the second trimester, it’s like, am I even pregnant?
‘I feel really lucky saying that, because at first, I had the standard nausea and extreme fatigue and tiredness. But now I just feel very normal.’
Ferne added that now the news is out, she’s ‘so pleased’ to be able to ‘celebrate it’, and that she doesn’t have to ‘cover up’.
Talking about her pregnancy with Sunday, she continued: ‘The pregnancies I feel are so similar in terms of how I’m feeling. But it feels like such a long time ago when I was pregnant with Sunday.
‘Thinking back to myself then I was just such a younger self. So there’s a lot of similarities, [but] yes, a long time that’s passed, so it feels like there’s times where I’ve just completely forgotten, and my mum’s reminding me, she’s like, “Oh, you had that with Sunday.” And I was like, “Did I?”
‘But yeah, I think in terms of how I’m physically feeling: very similar, which I’m hoping that might indicate that I’m having a girl. Because that is my preference. As long as it’s healthy, it’s fine. I can only see myself with girls.
‘But obviously, in terms of my situation, it is so different. Because now I’m in a relationship. And I’m sharing this whole experience with my partner. So that feels really unique and special.’
Ferne McCann: First Time Mum continues on ITVBe and ITVX from on Wednesday at 9pm.
