CORONATION Street star Jane Danson has bravely talked about her heartache after secretly suffering a “missed miscarriage”.
The Leanne Battersby actress was told her unborn baby had no heartbeat at her three-month scan.
Jane, 43, said during Baby Loss Awareness Week: “The pain of having a ‘missed miscarriage’ will stay with me forever.

“The worst thing that I did was not talk about what I was going through and somehow it made the heartache even more painful.
“In time I learnt to talk and express just how broken I felt.”
