The Classic FM presenter fronted a Bafta-nominated documentary in 2021 entitled Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me.

She told the that the first time she was able to vocalise what she had been through was when making the documentary.

“I wasn’t even able to say the word miscarriage before because it was so fresh and it took me a long time to talk about my trauma.”

The 46-year-old said it “never gets easier” talking about her baby loss and it feels like “ripping off the band aid every time” but it also keeps her “connected to what happened and the babies I lost”.

She adds that she chose to include her husband and children in the documentary because “miscarriage affects the whole family”.

“My kids thought they were getting a sibling so when you have a miscarriage you’re not only mopping up your own sadness, but theirs too.”

Part of the reason Klass made the documentary was because she was fed up with the subject being so taboo.

“No one wants to talk about dead babies so women are left to deal with issues of baby loss and fertility alone and that needs to change,” she said.
