Jeremy Kyle has revealed that his wife Victoria Burton suffered a devastating miscarriage earlier this year.
It comes after the television presenter, 58, announced earlier this week that he and Victoria are expecting their second child together, his sixth child in total.
Former talk show host Jeremy said he and his wife Victoria were on an “emotional rollercoaster” after she suffered a miscarriage in March.
The couple suffered another miscarriage in 2019 before welcoming their son Oliver, now three, in 2020.
Victoria, 40, opened up about the first loss, when she was eight weeks pregnant, and said doctors unfortunately had to inform her they couldn’t find the baby’s heartbeat on the early scan.

Victoria, who married Jeremy in October 2021, told the Mirror: ‘It was devastating. People say, ‘It’s so early, it’s just a bunch of cells,’ but as a woman you can’t help but get attached to what’s happening in your body.”
They were given false hope when Victoria underwent a procedure to remove the fetus and was told there was a heartbeat after all.
But a week later the couple was told it was not possible to continue the pregnancy.
Jeremy said: ‘The second miscarriage was the hardest for Vic. Since we had already had one, we tried not to get excited. It was an emotional roller coaster.’
Victoria said that during a Reiki healing session she received a message from Jeremy’s late mother Nanette, who died six years ago, insisting the couple would have a baby girl.
She explained: ‘The lady kept saying she could see pink and that we were having a girl. She said, “I see you and Oliver holding a little girl’s hand. The little girl is wearing a dress with bright red roses on it.”
‘Jez’s mother’s favorite flower was a red rose. She had red roses all over her garden. It felt like it was his mother saying a little girl was coming along.”
Jeremy added that once they moved home, Victoria placed an order for some duvet sets and pillows and in the middle of the package was a pair of pink dungarees that they had not ordered.

Victoria was already pregnant at the time with their daughter, who is due next year.
It comes after Jeremy revealed he is becoming a father for the sixth time as Victoria is pregnant with their second child.
Speak with The sunJeremy said he and Victoria are ‘over the moon’ to welcome another child early next year, adding his family will be ‘complete’.
He said: ‘Vic says I should set up a side business bottling it because I’m 58 and only have one testicle, but everyone knows that anyway.
‘The other children are very happy, although my eldest Harriet thinks I need an autopsy.
“Personally, I think it’s my late parents laughing from above, to be honest.”
Jeremy, who is also a grandfather, previously defeated testicular cancer in 2012 and has since strongly advocated for men’s health issues.
In addition to son Oliver, Jeremy is father to daughters Harriet, 32, Alice, 18, Ava, 17, and son Henry, 13, who he shares with ex-wife Carla Germaine.
In October, Jeremy said he would miss Vicky and Oliver as he threw himself into work for his new live show on TalkTV.
The TV star made his return to television with a brand new live show on TalkTV – three years after his daytime program was axed following the death of guest Steve Dymond.
When asked what he would miss if he returned to work, he said of his loved ones: “Not being present during bath time! No, I’m joking. I’d love to be there every night. Oliver and Victoria changed my life.
‘Oliver is two and a half and in charge, to be completely honest. He changed me completely. He shouts, “Daddy!” when he sees me on the screen now.

‘My children, my grandchildren, my family, my wife saved me. Harriet is an amazing mother with two toddlers. Alice is about to go to college; Henry is about to go to boarding school; Ava has just achieved eight GCSEs. It’s amazing, she’s severely dyslexic. It’s incredible what she has done, amazing. I am so proud.
‘But I’ve always wanted to go back to live television. It’s the best of what I’ve always loved doing.”
