Amanda on losing her son

In September last year, Amanda revealed the triggering comment a doctor made to her after the ordeal.

Amanda said on her Heart radio show at the time: “We lost our baby Theo at 28 weeks. They very sensitively moved me into another room so I could deliver him without having to hear the lovely babies screaming on a normal ward.

We love you Theo. Never ever forgotten.

“Often that’s not thought about, it’s little things like that.”

She went on: “I remember the lady afterwards as well when we went for a chat also said, ‘I know you’re going home empty handed’ is what she said to me.

“So I felt like some sort of game show contestant, so it’s all of that language.”

In 2020, Amanda revealed the moment her husband Chris left her feeling “floored” with a comment about Theo.

At the time, Amanda was discussing her music single With You which she said brought back memories of losing their son.

Amanda said on ITV’s Lorraine: “It’s a song about grief and loss. It’s a very moving song. My whole album means so much for me.
