Loose Women star Linda Robson supported by panel as she opens up about tragic miscarriage

Loose Women star Linda Robson moved the audience as she shared a heartfelt story of losing what would've been her "little girl".

In an emotional episode on Wednesday, Linda joined hosts Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, and Myleene Klass in studio to celebrate Myleene's newly awarded MBE for her work in women's health advocacy, particularly around miscarriage support.

Myleene, who rose to fame in Hear'Say, made a promise that her MBE is just the start of her campaign to break the silence surrounding miscarriages. As the panel praised her courage and contribution, Linda bravely disclosed her own miscarriage heartache, with her friends and co-hosts quickly offering their support to the 66-year-old actress and presenter.

The beloved Birds of A Feather star spoke about an uneasy feeling she had on her third pregnancy: "I had two pregnancies with no problems and then when I got pregnant for the third time and something didn't feel right, right from the very beginning."

Despite talking about her loss before on Loose Women, it was only in Myleene's presence that Linda felt compelled to share more about her traumatic experience, reports the Mirror. Reflecting on the poignant moment she sought help, she said: "I rang and asked if I could come in and have an MRI... a scan to see if everything was ok and they said 'yeah come in'."

In an emotional moment, Linda recounted a harrowing experience when she knew something was awry during the scan. The sonographer left abruptly, suggesting something wasn't right: "Then she went to me, 'I'm just going to go and call somebody, I'm just going to go and call a doctor' and straight away I knew something was wrong," she said.

Lina poignantly continued: "Anyway they came back and said the baby had died inside of me, they sent me home with a dead baby inside of me and then I had to go back the next day and then they gave me suction to remove...."

Opening up further about the pain she endured, Linda shared: "They said it would have been a little girl but she had an extra chromosome and so she wouldn't have survived anyway."

The ITV presenter expressed further distress as she and partner Mark w pondered whether their actions could have possibly influenced the tragedy, questioning whether their actions might have influenced their baby's fate such as lifting heavy objects or having sex.

Concluding her heart-rending story, Linda sadly noted: "It just wasn't meant to be and it was very very sad".
