TOWIE star Elliott Wright has shared the tragic news that he and wife Sadie Stewart have suffered a miscarriage and tragically lost their baby boy five months into the pregnancy.
The Only Way is Essex star shared the devastating news via an Instagram post, writing: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we tell you the devastating news that we had a miscarriage and lost our baby boy at 5 months on Wednesday.
“Our hearts are broken into a million pieces and our whole world and dreams have been ripped apart.”
Elliott continued: “We was so lucky to have had time to spend with our baby after the tragic birth and we take comfort that our darling boy is now up in heaven with Grandad Eddie.
“We would like to thank everyone who looked after us and our beautiful baby at St. Thomas’s Hospital, especially our midwife Camella… having you by our side helped us more than you could possibly know.”
The statement ended: “We really thank you for all your condolences at this terribly sad time but ask for privacy as a family whilst we grieve the loss of our beautiful baby boy.”
Fans and followers shared their own tributes to Elliott’s baby son in the comments section, as the tragic news came after the ‘worst year of his life’.
The reality star’s Spanish business burned to the ground at the hands of suspected arsonists back in April.
And he lost his father Edward in March after a devastating eight-week battle with Covid-19.
Elliott initially shared the news of wife Sadie’s pregnancy with OK! Magazine last month, telling the publication: “I’ve probably had the worst year of my life and probably the worst I’m ever going to have.
“At the start of this year I unfortunately lost my father, and then my restaurant burned down 11 days after I buried my dad.”
Elliott initially paid tribute to his late dad on social media, writing: “You are and will always be my rock, my best friend, the man who taught me to always be a gentleman, to put family first!
“Everything I know and have whether it be in business or personal is down to you an your guidance, my whole life, from a young age, I watched in [awe] of you, a mountain amongst men…”
He added: “Doing deals, the king negotiator, with you by my side I could take on the world and still will do, as I know your love, affection and soul will always be by my side.”
He said his baby boy was an “angel” sent down from heaven by his dad.
But he sadly explained at the time: “This is the first grandchild that’s not going to have met my dad and that’s an upsetting thing for me.”
The couple share two-year-old son Billy together, with Elliott also father to 14-year-old Elliott Jnr. and 12-year-old Olivia from a previous marriage.
