“I was on air. I went to the loo while the music was playing and there was blood everywhere. I didn’t know what to do.”
Last year, Chrissy Teigen was one of the first celebrities to openly talk about her experience of miscarriage. Since then many people have spoken about their experience with grief and fertility struggles.
Myleene Klass recently opened up to YOU Magazine about her miscarriages, telling the magazine she’s had four heartbreaking incidents, one of which happened while she was live on air.

Myleene explains: “I was on air. I went to the loo while the music was playing and there was blood everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I had one hour left of my show.”
She said” “I rang Lauren Laverne [long-time friend and radio presenter] and she said: ‘Do one link, take a breath, come out and call me.’ She got me through. I did the next link and called her. We counted the links.”
Lauren, she says, kept her going for the whole show. “I would go out, sob and come back in, take a deep breath and speak. I don’t know what else I would have done. I was on air.”
“Losing my first baby was howling at the moon territory, because the pain is just so guttural, it’s unbearable. You feel like everything has failed. Walking out of that hospital I felt so lonely and empty.”

Myleene has three kids: two daughters, Ava, 13, and Hero, nine and in August 2019 she welcomed her son, Apollo into the world. She says, “We nicknamed him the Emperor. If he learns to walk it will be a miracle because he only has to gesture and we bring him what he wants. We are all waiting on him hand and foot.”
The star is now competing in the new series of Dancing On Ice on ITV and says she’s doing it “for my children.”
“I wanted to do something they can understand. They know I was in a band, that I’ve got clothes ranges and I’m on the radio but this is a show they can watch and enjoy.”
