Storm Huntley Opens Up About Heartbreaking Miscarriage

co-host has revealed that she suffered a devastating miscarriage in 2024 and opened up about continuing to deal with the loss in an emotional Instagram post on Monday.

The broadcaster, 39, welcomed son Otis in 2022 and daughter Sloan last year with husband and LaFontaines frontman Kerr Okan has now shared that she sadly lost a second son. 

Taking to her Stories Storm posted a snap amid her spring clean as she came across a custom T-shirt announcing her eldest son as a 'big brother' and announcing her 2024 due date.

The tiny top was printed with a digger and the words: ‘Big brother under construction. Estimated completion date October 2024’.

Storm captioned the post:  'Cleaning out my wardrobe today...This is a hard one to let go of. I've had a baby since and I'm so happy with my little family: But where does this go? Three piles: bin, charity; or back in the cupboard. None feel right.

Before adding: 'Sharing this because miscarriage is so common but not talked about enough'.

Storm joined The Wright Stuff on 2015and continued in her role when Jeremy Vine took over before fronting her own show. Her late morning programme has built up a loyal following of viewers.

Last year  introduced her newborn baby girl to viewers at home as she checked in with her team while sharing the newborn's sweet name Sloan Blue.

She looked in great spirits despite the lack of sleep as she sent a video message in to Channel 5 and promised to bring the new addition into the studio soon. 

Introducing Sloan as the 'newest recruit' to the team she said: 'She entered this world at 2.30 on Saturday morning, so a party animal, and, as Jeremy likes his facts, she was 6.3lbs and born on the 15th March.'

Fully submerged in the newborn bubble she continued: 'It's been wonderful. Otis got to meet his little sister and he's been playing a blinder as a big brother. Loving his duties. 

'Boo, our dog, less happy we've brought yet another child home from the hospital. But she got used to Otis, so she'll get used to this one too. 

'And we're all just overjoyed and excited to come into the studio and see you in real life sometime soon.'

Taking to Instagram, Storm shared a snap with her daughter as she penned: '… My heart has doubled in size.'

'Welcome to the world little one. Sloan Blue Okan. 6.3lbs. Born March 15th, 02:31am.'

Discussing her second pregnancy, Storm admitted that she's been 'less sick' this time around, but instead she's 'more emotional, bigger, [and] more uncomfortable'.

Storm tied the knot with Kerr, frontman of rock band The LaFontaines, in 2021, in a wedding on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland.

The following year, the couple welcomed their second child, son Otis.

Born in 1987, the Scottish presenter was given her distinctive Christian name after her mother read Wilber Smith's 1977 novel A Sparrow Falls - in which the central character has the same name.

Raised in the East Dunbartonshire town of Bishopbriggs, Huntley attended the local high school before attaining degree in politics and economics at the University of Glasgow in 2008.

She continued her studies in England, where she enrolled in a postgraduate degree in broadcast journalism at the London College of Communication.

She took her first media role while studying in Glasgow with jobs at a local hospital radio station and the university's non-profit freeform radio station, Subcity Radio.

Following her graduation she started from the bottom, taking on unpaid work experience before finding paid work as a researcher with BBC Scotland.

After developing a keen interest in weather reporting she took an Open University course in meteorology, a decision that led to Huntley presenting the weather on STV Glasgow's Riverside Show.
