Amanda Holden breaks down as she opens up about her heartbreaking stillbirth
Her baby died at seven months
Amanda Holden has always been so honest and open about the fact that she has suffered both a stillbirth and a miscarriage. The 47-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge, who is mum to 12-year-old Lexi and six-year-old Hollie, previously lost two babies.
Now, in an interview with ITV's Tonight to mark the 70-year anniversary of the NHS, Amanda has bravely opened up about exactly what happened.
The interview, which airs tonight on ITV at 7.30pm, sees Amanda open up about the loss of her son, who she and her husband of 10 years Chris Hughes had named Theo.
Amanda, who had miscarried another son at 16 weeks just one year earlier, was given the devastating news that Theo had tragically passed away in the womb when she was seven months pregnant in February 2011 as his heart had stopped beating.
Amanda says, "I just remember hearing this woman just screaming and screaming and then it was actually — it was me, I realised it was me that was screaming.
"He looked so normal and so peaceful. I was still his mummy, so I held him in my arms and I said goodbye, basically."
Amanda, who went on to have little Hollie in January 2012, admitted that she was worried the whole way through her pregnancy that the "worst would happen," before revealing that she "came close to death" when Hollie was born one month early.
She suffered major blood loss and spent three days in a coma in intensive care.
She adds, "I'll literally do anything for the National Health Service because they got me through it, they got Chris through it and I now thankfully have two healthy girls and a little boy who is still part of the family but just not here."
