Myleene Klass is set to front a new documentary that will look into the taboo surrounding miscarriages after admitting she had tragically lost four babies.
The singer-turned-presenter, 42, will chat to other mums who have gone through the pain of miscarriage for the documentary called Myleene Klass: Miscarriages and Me.
In October last year, the former Hear’Say star opened up on her own tragedy to mark Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
She wrote on Instagram : “I am Mama to 7 babies, Ava, Hero, Apollo my rainbow baby and 4 little stars in the sky.”
And now the star will present her new new documentary – which will be shown on W – in a bid to help others who are going through their own tragic journey.

She revealed that she doesn’t think miscarriage can be a “big dark secret” that people simply must carry around with them.
She told The Sun : “I think I needed to make this because I needed to watch this.
“After my miscarriages I had to try and find some answers, some peace, some solidarity with people who’ve been through it too.
“You just don’t want to feel alone because the defining feeling of miscarriage is feeling alone.”
And Myleene revealed that she is now at an age where she thinks she would struggle to find a woman who hadn’t been through the torment of a miscarriage.
She confessed that she wasn’t aware just how many people had suffered like she had until she started the documentary and said that she is determined to break the “taboo” around the subject.
“It can’t go on being the big dark secret that we have to carry around,” she said.

And she described how it was fellow host Lauren Laverne who helped her through her fourth miscarriage.
Myleene spoke about how she went to the toilet while on air and discovered “blood everywhere”.
She admitted she didn’t know what to do as she still had an hour left to present.
After ringing her pal she was given advice and told to “take a breath”
“She got me through,” she said.
The Pure and Simple singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to show her followers she was on set. While she didn’t give away what it was she was taking part in, she captioned her last image: “Something very important in the making.”
