EX On The Beach star Chanelle McCleary has suffered a devastating miscarriage four weeks after announcing she was expecting a baby.

The heartbroken 24-year-old said she was feeling “deep, deep sadness” and is struggling to come to terms with the loss.

Chanelle – who used to date Charlotte Crosby’s ex Joshua Richie – found fame on the sixth series of Ex on the Beach before going on to star in Big Brother in 2017.

She met her partner Rich last year and announced their engagement just nine months later.

He proposed during a romantic gondola ride in Venice.

The couple excitedly revealed their baby news last month, but have since lost the baby after complications.

Chanelle told fans: “Some of you may have noticed I’ve not been on social media lately. I’ve been taking time to grieve privately and come to terms with our loss.

“Unfortunately I was back and forth to hospital with bleeding and complications and our little baby’s heart stopped beating.

‘We are both devastated and loved our little baby so so much already. My heart felt complete knowing I had you and the love I felt instantly was indescribable but I try to tell myself that god has a plan and something just wasn’t right…

“This has broken both our hearts and it just doesn’t feel real, I still wake up and get excited thinking about you and then remember you’re gone…

“I am feeling a million different emotions right now and just deep, deep sadness. I just want to wake up and it all not be real…

“I cannot wait to be a mummy it’s something I have wanted for so long we are going to try again and I hope that we are blessed with a healthy little one soon. For now we taking time out to heal. Thank you to everyone for your love and support…

“Please keep us in your prayers for conceiving in the near future and finding hope again. Little Baby McCleary you are gone but we will never ever forget you. Love mummy and daddy.”
