In October, the star shared with fans how she found out she was pregnant three months ago.
Shortly afterwards she woke up with a ‘terrible pain’ in her stomach and collapsed on the bathroom floor before being taken to hospital and discovered she had an ectopic pregnancy.
This is when a fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube, meaning a baby cannot develop and endangering the mother’s health.
She wrote: ‘This week has been one of the most terrifying and heartbreaking of my life.
‘I found out I was pregnant 3 months ago! I was shocked and surprised, but so happy that I could expand my family. Sadly, I thought I had lost the baby a few weeks later, but that was not actually the case.
‘I woke up one morning with the most horrible pain in my stomach and collapsed on the bathroom floor. I was rushed to hospital to find out that I had not lost my baby, it was in fact growing in the wrong place and was an ectopic pregnancy. .
‘The scans showed I had severe internal bleeding! It was so scary to hear that they had a blood transfusion ready. I was immediately taken to the cinema for surgery as my fallopian tube was about to rupture in a minute.’
In her post, she shared a photo of her stomach with bandages on it and a photo of herself crying in her hospital bed.
