Scarlett Moffatts Emotional Journey to Second Pregnancy

has revealed she took '11 pregnancy tests' before believing she was pregnant with her second child following struggles. 

The star, 35, feared she would never have another child after previously suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage while 'quite far along'. 

Now Scarlett and fiancé Scott Dobinson, who are already proud parents to son Jude, are preparing to welcome a baby boy together. 

'It felt so overwhelming,' she told The Sun. 'We are honestly so thrilled, especially for Jude, as I never thought that we would be able to give him a little brother or sister. I'm just so over the moon that we get to.'

Scarlett opened up to former pop star about her fertility struggles during her stint on I'm A Celebrity and also revealed she had suffered a miscarriage.

She said: 'After Jude, we tried again and got quite far along and miscarried and it was just... I remember Scott's mam and dad took Jude for the day and me and Scott just laid in bed crying and it was just awful.

'Because in our head, we were just like, "Imagine them running down the stairs at Christmas together". You're mourning a life that you imagined.

'Me and Scott didn't even look at each other while it was on. We just held hands on the sofa and gripped each other. It was so lovely', she said. 

It is a silent heartbreak affecting thousands, with one in four UK pregnancies ending in miscarriage, leaving many women facing severe anxiety in subsequent pregnancies.

And while Scarlett took almost two years away from work after having son Jude in 2023, she has revealed things will look slightly different this time around. 

Her partner Scott has decided to take a career break from his job as a police officer as he joins the growing UK trend, with Office for National Statistics data showing stay-at-home dads have surged by 30 per cent in the past decade.

The TV personality delightedly confessed she was hoping for another son as she feels she is 'born to be a boy mum'. 

She recently told The Mirror: 'All my family and friends knew I wanted another boy.

'Of course it would've been wonderful to have had a girl – a healthy baby is all that matters – but my preference was a boy, to give Jude a brother. 

'I'm just so happy for him. He's got someone to share his life with now.'

In April, Scarlett shared the happy news as she took to her Instagram Stories to share a heartwarming photo of the three of them together, clad in a stylish, patterned co-ord and cradling her growing belly.

Alongside, Scarlett posted a poll asking fans to vote for whether they thought the baby was a girl or a boy based on the positioning of her bump and her pregnancy craving for all things cheese.

She wrote: 'My bump is very high this time and I started showing early from around 14 weeks. My cravings have been grated cheese, cheese toasties, cheese scones lol (did I mention cheese ha).'

Sharing her gratitude for the kind messages her followers had sent about how well she was looking, the I'm A Celebrity star candidly revealed that her first trimester had not been an easy ride.

Scarlett branded it 'hell' as she explained she'd battled lots of common pregnancy side effects, alongside a selfie of herself in bed looking slightly worse-for-wear.
