Model and TV presenter Kelly Brook has opened up in her new autobiography about her tragic miscarriage experiences.
 
Kelly had been in a relationship with rugby player Thom Evans for only a few months when she fell pregnant, and the couple happily announced their good news on Twitter.
 
Tragically, at six months pregnant she lost the baby. In her book, Kelly insists it was a miscarriage rather than a stillbirth.
 
“In my mind, it was a miscarriage. That was how I was going to deal with it,” she wrote.
 
“But the hospital were insisting otherwise. They kept on asking me for a name. Thom and I had yet to even discuss this. I must give them a name they said. Thankfully, my mum was there to give me support. We both said ‘No Name’”.
 
Had she lost her baby just two weeks later, Kelly would have been forced to register both a birth and death certificate.
 
“Looking back, I was trying to detach myself – with love- for my own sanity.”
 
Sadly for Kelly, her heartbreak wasn't over. For a time, she explains, the grief brought their relationship closer together, a further tragedy caused things to crumble.
 
''After the miscarriage Thom and I decided it was time to make a fresh start ... Thom proposed. He'd bought a beautiful ring. I immediately said yes. The miscarriage actually brought us closer together,” Kelly explained.
 
''Later I went to see my doctor, who said, 'The best way to get over this is to try and get pregnant again'. ''So Thom and I weren't careful, and just before Christmas 2011, I got pregnant again. The look on Thom's face said it all. I think he was terrified ... I had another miscarriage after a few weeks.''
 
The couple stayed together for almost another year after this second tragedy, but the strain had taken its toll on their relationship.
 
''We were still engaged in November 2012 ... Not long after that, he and I split up. His modelling career was picking up and a big US agent wanted to represent him. He was excited and so was I," Kelly recalled.
 
''I suggested we rent a flat in LA so I could visit. I was incredibly hurt when he said he wanted to go alone. He didn't want to be weighed down by a flat. When I brought up the subject of marriage and children, the colour drained from his face."
 
''He wanted to focus on his 'new life' in LA – a wife and children would slow him down. He didn't want to be in a relationship any more. It was obvious.''
 
Kelly has since become engaged to David McIntosh, a former Gladiator. The couple revealed they were seeing each other in February this year, and announced their engagement on Twitter in March.
