Coronation Street star Jane Danson has spoken out for the first time about losing her third child.
The 38-year-old – who is mum to Harry and Alfie with husband Robert Beck – made the admission as she discussed her onscreen character Leanne’s pregnancy.
With interviewers asking Jane if her storyline has made her broody, she admitted that it was now an appropriate time to talk about the delicate topic.
“I kind of feel in a good place to say it, but I actually did lose a baby a couple of years ago. So Leanne’s pregnancy does make me quite sad,” she said.
The mum-of-two added: “I’ve been asked the inevitable questions over and over – ‘Would you have another baby?’, and I just feel now it’s a good time to say that it is close to my heart. But it’s Leanne going through it, not me.”
Jane went on to express her gratitude at having two beautiful little boys.
“I am one of the lucky ones who has got children, so I’ll just leave it at that,” she said.
We’re sure there are many mums out there who will be touched by Jane’s revelation.
