She told The Sun: ‘I’ve not talked about this before, but it was my third, each one a devastating loss on my longed-for journey to motherhood.’

‘I’ve been trying to have a baby for nearly a decade now, only to have my hopes dashed time and again by first one miscarriage, then another.’

In a poignant essay, Gemma detailed the beginning of her miscarriage and said she had no idea she was pregnant with on-off boyfriend Arg’s baby, before she started experiencing sharp cramps one morning.

The reality star said she had dismissed the pains as a heavy period, and tried to push on through the excruciating pain, before her sister forced her to visit her doctor.

After being sent to hospital, Gemma was given the tragic news that she had suffered a miscarriage.

She continued: ‘In a single instant, I learned that I’d been carrying a baby and lost it, meaning that once again I found my longstanding dreams of motherhood shattered into pieces.’

Gemma said she refuses to give up on her dream of becoming a mother and that she thinks about the miscarriage ‘every day.’

The Diva Forever star added that she was finding it tough being single since breaking up from Arg in July, and, on bad days, fears her three miscarriages were her only chance to become a mother.

She is now trusting in fate, saying she knows when the time for her to become a mother arrives, she will give them a cherished life worlds away from ‘the world of GC.’
