She also said she suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of the year.

"Fertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well," she was quoted as saying.

"I found it a real comfort to hear from people who had also experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too."
