    Actress and Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has lost the baby boy she was expecting, her agent has said.


    The TV star was seven months pregnant when she suffered a miscarriage on Tuesday.

    She went to West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth, west London, after the baby stopped moving. It was later stillborn.

    Holden and her husband Chris Hughes are said to be "utterly devastated" at the loss.

    The 39-year-old also lost a baby last year.

    The actress only announced the most recent pregnancy in January when she was six months pregnant. The couple have a five-year-old daughter Lexi.

    The couple's spokeswoman Alison Griffin said: "They are utterly devastated.

    "Amanda had been closely monitored throughout her pregnancy and it is not yet known what went wrong.

    "Both Chris and Amanda would like to thank the midwives and staff at The Queen Mary Maternity unit at West Middlesex Hospital Isleworth for their tremendous support."

    A spokeswoman for Amanda Holden has confirmed that the Britain's Got Talent judge has lost the baby boy she was expecting with husband Chris Hughes.
    Holden, who was seven-months pregnant, suffered a miscarriage on Tuesday at West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth, west London. The baby was reportedly stillborn following complications.
    Agent Alison Griffin said: "They are utterly devastated.
    "Amanda had been closely monitored throughout her pregnancy and it is not yet known what went wrong.
    "Both Chris and Amanda would like to thank the midwives and staff at The Queen Mary Maternity unit at West Middlesex Hospital Isleworth for their tremendous support."
    Holden - mum to 5-year-old Lexi - only announced the pregnancy last month after admitting to suffering a previous miscarriage last year.
    Celebrity condolences have already started appearing on Twitter. Myleene Klass, who is expecting, said: "My sweetheart. I'm so very sorry. Please God, watch over your family and your little angel in heaven. X"
    Fellow pregnant star Emma Bunton wrote: "Absolutely devastated for @Amanda_Holden and chris. Thinking of them and sending our prayers at this very sad time."

    And it's always sad, but is thankfully less common at seven months, which must be devastating. There can't be many worse things for a woman than to have to go through labour knowing that your child is dead.

    It is absolutely horrific.. My heart goes out to them.. As a woman who has suffered 2 early miscarriages, I can tell you that it is devestating and soul destroying.. for a woman to lose her baby at 7 months is just unthinkable.. Life can be so cruel.
