Last week Emma Crosby spoke out about how counting kicks alerted her to the fact that she needed to go to the hospital to check on her baby and now Natalie Pinkham has revealed her heartache over losing one of her unborn twins.

The Sky Sports presenter and her husband Owain Walbyoff found out they were expecting twins in September 2015 but at 12 weeks, doctors broke the news that only one would survive.

She told The Sun newspaper that she experienced mixed emotions: “It was really weird. You feel so blessed and lucky to be pregnant, but then part of you has a mourning process to go through.

“I felt, ‘Was I not healthy enough?’ But really, what you’ve got to say is: ‘No, it’s nature’s way.’ You’ve got to be philosophical about it.”

Natalie, who is expecting a baby girl in June, is also mum to one-year-old Wilf.
