Loose Women star Linda Robson has opened up about her own tragic miscarriage, as she shared her story on the ITV show alongside Myleene Klass, who has been campaigning for women’s health

Linda Robson touched the hearts of Loose Women viewers with a poignant revelation about her past, sharing that she lost what would have been her “little girl”.

During Wednesday’s episode, the actress joined Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, and newly honoured MBE recipient Myleene Klass in the studio. The panel was celebrating Myleene’s recent MBE for her advocacy on women’s health issues, particularly her work with regards to miscarriage support.

Myleene, the former Hear’Say star, pledged live on the show that her MBE recognition marked “only the beginning” of her efforts to shatter silence around the issue. As the panel commended her bravery and dedication, Linda courageously opened up about her own sorrow, receiving on-air support from her colleagues.

The Birds of A Feather icon recounted her experience with a sense of unease: “I had two pregnancies with no problems and then when I got pregnant for the third time and something didn’t feel right, right from the very beginning.”

Linda opened up to Myleene about her tragic loss on-air

Although Linda had previously mentioned her loss on the show, it was only with Myleene beside her that she felt able to delve deeper into her personal ordeal, reports the Liverpool Echo.

She continued, recalling the moment she sought medical attention: “I rang and asked if I could come in and have an MRI.. a scan to see if everything was ok and they said ‘yeah come in’.”

Linda was comforted by Myleene
In a heart-wrenching revelation, the TV star recounted how panic set in when, during a scan with her young son Louis in tow, the sonographer abruptly left to call a doctor. “Then she went to me, ‘I’m just going to go and call somebody, I’m just going to go and call a doctor’ and straight away I knew something was wrong,” revealed the TV star.

She heartbreakingly revealed: “Anyway they came back and said the baby had died inside of me, they sent me home with a dead baby inside of me and then I had to go back the next day and then they gave me suction to remove….”

Linda shared further sorrowful details: “They said it would have been a little girl but she had an extra chromosome and so she wouldn’t have survived anyway.”

The ITV show regular, alongside her then-partner Mark, grappled with unanswered questions about what they may have done wrongly, pondering if it might’ve been sex or lifting heavy objects that jeopardized their pregnancy, as fellow panellist Myleene Klass offered empathetic support.

“It just wasn’t meant to be and it was very very sad,” Linda somberly added.
