Speaking about her emotions following her 12-week scan, she said: "I was really overwhelmed.

"I just cried. It was pure relief at seeing the image on the screen and hearing the heartbeat."

Sam's pregnancy comes after she suffered a devastating miscarriage earlier this year.

After a year of trying to conceive, Sam miscarried at 10 weeks in January 2020.

Sam said: "I didn’t want to speak to anyone [after the miscarriage]. I had guilt and shame that it was my fault. I was looking back at everything I did during that pregnancy and replaying every single minute.

"I put it all on me and my body. But I never said that to Tom at the time."

She added: "I just remember being really quiet. I’d become miserable. You could call it depression. I usually love listening to music in the car and I just didn’t want to listen to it.

"But I would go into work and turn on a persona. Then I’d come back home and be sad again."
