English actress and model Kelly Brook has opened up about the miscarriage she suffered six months into her pregnancy and her painful split with ex-fiancé, model Thom Evans.
In In her new autobiography, Close Up, which is published this Thursday, September 11, Brooks also reveals that she lost a second baby.
"After the miscarriage Thom and I decided it was time to make a fresh start, “ she writes. “Thom proposed. He'd bought a beautiful ring. I immediately said 'yes.' The miscarriage actually brought us closer together. Later I went to see my doctor, who said, 'The best way to get over this is to try and get pregnant again'.
"So Thom and I weren't careful, and just before Christmas 2011, I got pregnant again. The look on Thom's face said it all. I think he was terrified . . . I had another miscarriage after a few weeks."
She also writes: "We were still engaged in November 2012 . . . Not long after that, he and I split up. His modelling career was picking up and a big US agent wanted to represent him. He was excited and so was I.
"I suggested we rent a flat in LA so I could visit. I was incredibly hurt when he said he wanted to go alone. He didn't want to be weighed down by a flat. When I brought up the subject of marriage and children, the colour drained from his face.
"He wanted to focus on his 'new life' in LA - a wife and children would slow him down. He didn't want to be in a relationship anymore. It was obvious."
Brook is now engaged to ex-Gladiator David McIntosh. Meanwhile Evans, who is also a former rugby star, has joined this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up.
