'Our hearts have been ripped out': Charlotte Crosby reveals her second silent miscarriage in five months

Charlotte Crosby, 36, has revealed she suffered a second silent miscarriage just five months after her first, discovering the loss at her eight-week scan last month. The former Geordie Shore star posted a tearful video and emotional statement on Instagram on Friday, saying her world came crashing down when she was told the baby's heart had stopped beating. She shares daughters Alba, three, and Pixi, 20 months, with fiancé Jake Ankers.

Crosby had announced her first silent miscarriage earlier this year, but fell pregnant again last month, describing the joy of seeing a positive test as 'indescribable'.

At six weeks and five days she posted an ultrasound showing a heartbeat — the milestone she had not reached in her previous pregnancy — before her eight-week scan brought devastating news.

She posted on Baby Loss Awareness Week's Wave of Light night, writing: 'Everything just felt so heavy. The sadness felt heavy. The heartbreak felt heavy.'
