Chris Ramsey’s wife didn’t leave the house for a "week-and-a-half" after suffering a miscarriage – and she believes the effects of the devastating loss are only just hitting him now.
The 32-year-old comedian and his wife Rosie revealed earlier this month that she had suffered an anembryonic pregnancy (a missed miscarriage), and while she has "kind of got over it", he goes "quiet and miserable for no reason" at times now following the heart-breaking news.
Speaking about trying to pass pregnancy tissue from the womb, she said: "It went to surgery. After 20 hours of trying to do it with tablets, it then went to surgery. You don’t expect it at all. It’s just a crazy situation.
"You [Chris] went into survival mode. I stayed in the house for a week-and-a-half, cried, ate loads of chocolate and kind of got over it. But you just had to keep going and now I feel like it’s hit you."
Chris added: "Sometimes now I’ll go quiet and miserable for no reason, and she’s like, ‘Are you alright?’ and I’m like, ‘I think so’. It’s just the emotions.
"I cried at ‘Avengers Age of Ultron’. It’s ridiculous, but it’s going to take a while."
The ‘Hebburn’ star admitted the "cruellest part" of finding out was that Rosie still had a baby bump because her body thought she was pregnant, but the couple are "so glad" they spoke publicly about losing their unborn baby.
Speaking in a joint interview on ‘Lorraine’, he added: "The cruellest part of the whole thing was Rosie’s body still thought she was pregnant. There was a bump and everything and we were just going to see it.
"We talked for a while about whether to go public or not, and we’re so glad that we did.
"It such a strange thing to say, ‘Don’t tell anyone you’re pregnant until 12 weeks because if anything happens you can brush it under the carpet.’
"’No.’ Because it all went wrong we can’t brush it under the carpet.
"Example text me saying, ‘Look, mate, it happened to me.’ I had no idea.
"Some close friends have said, ‘Happened to us twice.’ It helps so much [to talk about it]."
Revealing the news earlier this month, Rosie wrote on Instagram: "Good morning.
Apologies for our silence across our social media’s this week, it’s safe to say we’ve had a pretty sh*tty one.
Last week we thought we would be sharing some lovely news with you all but sadly that was not to be.
When we went for our 12 week scan our baby could not be found. He or she had passed early on in the pregnancy leaving behind the pregnancy sac, this is called a Blighted Ovum. (missed miscarriage) My body still thought I was pregnant for all those weeks after the baby had passed, hormones were released and everything apart from the baby was still growing.
I’d never heard of this before so as you can imagine it all came as a great shock. .
Unfortunately it didn’t all end there as we were told I still needed to have a miscarriage to rid my body of the sac, placenta etc.
I was admitted into hospital a few days later to start the procedure. .
It was awful. Cramping, vomiting, fainting, fever, really just not nice.
After 5 rounds of tablets over a course of 20 or so hours the doctors told me it hadn’t worked as effectively as they’d hoped.
I was then taken to surgery to have everything removed.
It is now finally all over… (sic)"
