And Matthew Wright shed tears as he discussed he and wife Amelia's road to parenthood during an emotional interview on Wednesday's episode of Lorraine.
The former Wright Stuff host, 53, and his 42-year-old wife, who is around five months pregnant, spoke of their previous IVF heartache, which saw them endure a heartbreaking six miscarriages.
A blooming Amelia said she was still in shock the couple were expecting their longed-for first baby.
She said: 'I feel sick, I have nausea all day but I'm really really happy, I cant believe it’s happening.
'We spent eight years trying, had six miscarriages, but it really is seventh time lucky.'
Matthew added: 'Last time Amelia met you Lorraine I was in the jungle, she was just talking then about struggling to have kids. After that we had two very big miscarriages which was so hard for us.'
Amelia continued: 'After that happened I thought I need to have a break, maybe it's not meant to be, had to take a break and think about what we wanted to do. It really was the last chance saloon.'
The couple said they had one remaining embryo which had been in the freezer for six years. They considered donating it to medical science, but in the end Amelia said:'I couldn’t give it up.'
Although the couple are happily looking forward to the arrival of their baby on Valentines Day, they admitted the pregnant had been 'difficult.'
Matthew said: 'It is considered a high risk pregnancy. She is scanned twice a week, there have been little bleeds, which can be very normal but also can be frightening, we've been in casualty half a dozen times.'
