This week, Kate revealed that she still bears the emotional scars from the loss of her baby after suffering a devastating miscarriage last year.
The former TOWIE star opened up about the latest episode of his Mixed podcast, admitting that although she currently feels fine, she had a difficult first trimester due to constant anxiety about being pregnant again.
The reality personality explained that although she still finds “every scan terrifying” due to her past experiences, the pregnancy loss has changed her “outlook on life for the better.”
Kate and her footballer husband Rio lost a baby last summer after discovering there was no heartbeat during a 12-week scan.
Kate said: ‘I’m pregnant, I’m very happy about it. She was so worried and anxious about getting pregnant after the loss.
‘Right now, I feel pretty good. The first quarter was up in the air a lot because Rio was out and you weren’t getting the kicks or the movement.’

The television personality admitted to grief specialist Zoe Clarke-Coates that the scans cause her a lot of anxiety.
She said: ‘Many times [in the first trimester] I went in for an emergency scan thinking something was wrong and I wasn’t in the best state of mind. Every scan is still terrifying. The moment you sit on that bed is scary.
‘The moment you sit on that bed you think ‘what’s going to happen’. Despite all of that, I’m trying to turn what I’ve been through into gratitude.
The star, who is expecting a baby girl, revealed that the gratitude approach has made things easier for her and she has been able to enjoy her pregnancy despite her wobbles.
