TOWIE's Georgia Kousoulou has broken her silence after her devastating miscarriage last month.
The Baby Steps star posted on social media for the first time since her announcement on April 14 that she had learnt her unborn baby had not survived at her 12 week scan.
Georgia, who is engaged to fellow reality star Tommy Mallet and is mum to son Brody, who turns two next week, thanked fans for their support after going through "unbearable pain".
Posting a picture of her and son Brody at the beach, she wrote: Hello everyone .. Firstly I Just want to say thank you to you all ..
your messages they have really helped me get through the last few weeks.. I’m also so sorry so many of you have gone through this unbearable pain ????
"As tommy said we was filming series 4 of our show when everything happened & we decided to carry on filming .. I think it’s important to show the good & the bad .. it has been hard to film at times & bits will be hard to watch but it has also made me talk out loud which I think really helps.. there’s often silence over a loss of a baby because a lot of people don’t know what to say or how to say it but for me .. I have wanted & needed to talk about my ???? because for me I wanted to acknowledge the love & excitement I felt.."
