To mark the start of Baby Loss Awareness Weekon 14 October, singer and presenter Myleene Klass is opening up about her experience of miscarriage in an emotional new documentary, Myleene Klass: Miscarriage and Me, for W.

Speaking to the Sun, Myleene said: “I needed to make this because I needed to watch this. After my miscarriages, I had to try and find some answers, some peace, some solidarity with people who’ve been through it too. You just don’t want to feel alone because the defining feeling of miscarriage is feeling alone."

She added: "I’m getting to a point in my life where I’m finding it very tricky to find a woman who hasn’t gone through miscarriage. Making this film, I’ve realised that so many women around me have had miscarriages. How can I know so much about their lives but not know something that’s shaped who they are and the way they are?”

Last October, Myleene opened up about experiencing four miscarriages, writing on Instagram: "I am Mama to 7 babies, Ava, Hero, Apollo my rainbow baby and 4 little stars in the sky. I know after my own MC’s how I scoured the internet for stories similar to mine for peace, reassurance. I hope this helps even one lost soul."

Myleene Klass: Miscarriage & Me airs on 14 October on W, a UKTV channel.
