Ben Fogle has opened up about the death of his son last year.
Ben and his wife, Marina, were expecting their third child together when at 32-weeks pregnant their son was stillborn after Marina struggled with the baby’s birth. Marina suffered acute placental abruption last August, causing the baby to be starved of oxygen and leaving her just 20 minutes away from death herself. Ben was away in Canada celebrating his grandma’s 100th birthday at the time.

Speaking during an appearance on ITV's This Morning, Ben, 41, told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: “We lost him at eight months or so, it's incredibly painful because of that very reason - it's someone you nearly met, you dreamed of meeting, you projected what your family would be like, you projected the three children together, you did the nursery, you'd told the children.
“To have that stolen from you is painful in a way that unless you've been through it yourself, you can't understand and that's why we've spoken about it.”
He continued: “I think if you're in the public eye like I am… I'm not only going to only show the golden moments of [my life] because we all suffer highs and lows.
Ben and Marina – who have been married since 2006 – have two children together: five-year-old Luca and Iona, three.
