Speaking to HELLO! Magazine about their pregnancy, the couple admitted that they had suffered a miscarriage in secret last year.
Sophie said: “Even though I was only six weeks pregnant it really hit me hard.
“With this pregnancy we still carry that worry, so it was nice to have the scan and know that everything is okay.
“We had been trying for a year and a half and I was doing ovulation tests and everything and Jake said: ‘Stop putting pressure on us, it will happen when it’s meant to happen.’
“But when you really want something it’s so hard to not feel disappointed every month,” she admitted.
