Speaking on Loose Women, Jorgie said: ‘In the beginning it was quite hard. It was a bit stressful, a bit worrying, but we kind of had to get over that bit and go, “Do you know what? We need to enjoy this and start thinking about everything day by day. We’ve got to enjoy the journey.”’
Ollie, 33, added: ‘We both openly said it, it was super scary. It’s hard in general at the best of times but it was extra hard taking each day as it comes and just going with the flow.’
Speaking further about the miscarriage, Ollie said: ‘I think it’s really hard – men and women – to talk about miscarriage in general and how it affects you day to day, just to be able to get on and move forward.
‘I think the really hard part is knowing what’s right for your partner at the same time as well because you’re really struggling as well, and the emotions of it are all over the show.

Turning to Jorgie, he added: ‘But I think it’s about making sure you’re alright first and foremost.’

Ollie described their emotion during the routine ultrasound scan after miscarriages over the past year.
He said: ‘We’d been through so much to reach this point and had learnt to take nothing for granted. Just to have a healthy baby was a dream come true.’
The couple announced they were expecting the baby in June in a video on Instagram which showed them and their dog each moving their hands to unveil the sonogram photo.
Last August, the couple discovered during their 14-week scan that Jorgie had lost the quadruplets they had conceived naturally and in February they learnt of their second miscarriage at six weeks into the pregnancy – on the day of their engagement party.
Jorgie said the news was ‘devastating’, adding: ‘But I felt we had to go through with the party as we were in a room full of friends and family who love us.
‘It was so hard not telling anyone, but we knew we’d have their support when we told them later.’
The actress, who has also competed on Dancing On Ice and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, added: ‘We’ve learnt to appreciate every moment and after our experience over the past year, Ollie and I have become stronger than ever.
‘Now we can’t wait to share that love with our little one.’
Ollie said: ‘She’s so caring and nurturing, and she’ll be a super-fun mum.
