Kate Ferdinand reveals she’s had miscarriage and says she’s ‘devastated and heartbroken’ after surgery in hospital
KATE Ferdinand has revealed that she and husband Rio have suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage 12 weeks into a pregnancy.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to Instagram to reveal the heartbreaking news on Wednesday night as she told fans she was "devastated" by the loss.
Kate, 31, who welcomed baby son Cree with husband Rio, 43, in 2020, posted a black and white snap of herself in a hospital gown.
She revealed she had suffered a "devastating" miscarriage with her second child in an emotional caption to her Instagram following.
"The last time I was in this hospital I was having Cree, but this time it was because our baby had no heartbeat in our 12-week scan and I had to have surgery," Kate penned.
"We were so excited & planning a space for our new baby in our family, we just couldn’t wait to share our news with you all, but unfortunately sometimes life just doesn’t go as we plan.
