Kelly Brook previously revealed the reason she didn’t name the baby she lost over 10 years ago.
Actress Kelly fell pregnant in 2011 while she was with former rugby player Thom Evans. However, tragically six months into her pregnancy, Kelly lost her baby.
Several years later, Kelly – who is on I’m A Celebrity Coming Out today (December 13) – recalled the terrifying ordeal and revealed why she didn’t name the baby.

Kelly Brook on not naming baby she lost
Speaking in 2014, Kelly opened up about the trauma of losing her baby, six months into her pregnancy in 2011.
She said in her autobiography: “Because I was around the six-month-mark, everyone was torn between whether this should be seen as a miscarriage or a stillbirth.
It was the most painful thing.
“In my mind, it was a miscarriage. That was how I was going to deal with it. But the hospital were insisting otherwise.
“They kept on asking me for a name. Thom and I had yet to even discuss this. I must give them a name, they said. Thankfully, my mum was there to give me support. We both said: ‘No Name.’”
Kelly also shared that she refused the hospital’s offer to have the baby’s foot and handprints made. She said this was because she was “trying to detach myself – with love – for my own sanity”.
