Kate Ferdinand has said she's 'heartbroken' after she and Rio lost their second child.

The former TOWIE star took to Instagram to share a black and white photograph of her in a hospital gown, revealing that a routine scan had been unable to detect her baby's heartbeat.

She wrote: "The last time I was in this hospital I was having Cree, but this time it was because out baby had no heartbeat in our 12 week scan and I had to have surgery.

"We were so excited & planning a space for our new baby in our family, we just couldn't wait to see our news with you all, but unfortunately sometimes life just doesn't go as we plan."
