CELEBRITY Big Brother's Lateysha Grace suffered a secret ectopic pregnancy that landed her in hospital.
The reality TV star last week told how she was undergoing life-saving surgery – and now the heartbreaking reason has been revealed.
In an emotional statement, Lateysha says she believed she had miscarried after falling pregnant three months ago.
But after collapsing on her bathroom floor and being rushed to hospital last week, she was stunned to discover the baby was alive.
Sadly her unborn child was unable to survive the ectopic pregnancy, which puts the mother's life in serious danger when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in the fallopian tube.
In an emotional statement, Lateysha told how she has been forced to mourn her unborn baby twice.

"The scans showed that I had severe internal bleeding! to be told that they have blood transfusion on standby was so scary, I was rushed down to theatre straight away to be operated on as my tube was about to rupture at an minute."
