“Just two months ago, Matt and I went through our second miscarriage and that still feels raw and very bizarre to even say out loud,’ she told co-host Brittany Hockley.

“It’s not something I’ve really spoken about, not something that I’ve talked to many people about, but I feel very very passionately that miscarriage is a conversation that needs to be had in an open forum.”

Byrne — who met Matty during his season of The Bachelor in 2017 — also revealed that the pair were over the moon at the prospect of being parents again so soon after the arrival of their daughter, Marlie-Mae, in June 2019.

“I found out I was pregnant. We had gotten really excited about it and we’d had our scans and everything,” said Byrne “A week later, I felt different and I knew something was wrong and I knew it was happening again.

“I guess I never thought I would be someone who would have one miscarriage, let alone someone who would have two miscarriages,” she added.

“It is painful and it is lonely, but it doesn’t need to be quite so lonely, and the more that we talk about it, and the more the we de-stigmatise it, then I feel other women who are going through the same thing may feel more supported,” she said.
