Lacey told the publication: “I can’t wait to nurture our baby – we’ve dreamed of having a family for so long.”

“When you’ve lost babies all you care about is the heartbeat – we’ve had about 12 scans,” she said.

Opening up about her heartbreaking loss, Lacey continued: “It felt like my whole world had fallen to pieces and there’s nothing you can do apart from try and put it back together.

“I blamed myself thinking that I’d done something wrong. I’d think, why me? What did I do?

“But, of course, I hadn’t done anything wrong – it’s all down to chromosomes and luck, really.”
