Coronation Street star Sam Aston‘s wife has revealed that she has suffered two miscarriages within just four months of each other.
Devastated mother-of-two Briony, 27, took to Instagram on Saturday to confirm the heartbreaking news, admitting it was a very ‘difficult’ thing to share.
In her lengthy post, she shared a photograph of her original pregnancy test and opened up about how ‘heartbreaking and unfair’ the devastating news was.
She penned: ‘This is a difficult thing to share, but in the interest of breaking the taboo, I’m miscarrying again, the second time in four months…’.
‘It’s heartbreaking and it’s unfair, BUT I’m not seeking sympathy, I feel well supported and want others to feel supported too.

The mother told how she had told close friends and family about both her pregnancies and said she decided to share her miscarriage news online after hearing from other women about the loss they have struggled with.
‘And that’s why I wanted to post this today, because having people you can talk to and receiving comfort from those who have been through something similar makes the world of difference,’ she went on.
‘We’d told close friends and family about both pregnancies, because I knew that, for me, I would want support from those people if it wasn’t meant to last.
‘But I wouldn’t have been so open had I not heard from other women about the babies they lost and their stories.’
Towards the end of the post, Briony went on to thank all the women before her who have shared their miscarriage stories.
‘So thank you to all the women before me who have shared their stories and talked about their babies, it makes processing this a lot easier, and I don’t feel alone at all,’ she added.
‘In fact I feel the opposite of alone, I feel held and heard and I hope that by continuing these difficult conversations about miscarriage and pregnancy loss we open the door for others who will sadly experience loss too #1in4’.
The heartbreaking news comes a year after Sam, 30, and his wife Briony confirmed that they had welcomed their second child together.

The couple – who were already parents to their son Sonny, two – confirmed that Briony had given birth to a baby girl in May 2022.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, they said: ‘Our beautiful girl has arrived.’
Daisy was born on 10 May, 2022, nine days late, following a three-hour labour at their home in Lancashire.
They later confirmed that their daughter was called Daisy Josephine and shared the sweet meaning behind her name.
She told OK!: ‘Josephine is a nod to Sam’s brother Jo and my grandad Joe. Daisy is also the French name for Marguerite and my mum’s mum is called Margaret, so it was a way to have both grandparent’s in there.’
In December 2021, the couple revealed their ‘nice surprise’ that they were expecting a younger sister for Sonny.
Sam told OK! magazine at the time: ‘I could see us having another boy, so it was a really nice surprise. I was quite shocked.

He detailed: ‘There are twins in Briony’s family, so when we went in I was a bit nervous and said, “There’s definitely only one in there, right?'” He said, “There’s only one!” and then told us it was a girl!’
The couple at the time weren’t planning on having another child so soon but claimed they were happy to be having kids that will be close in age.
Taking to Instagram at the time, they shared a photo of Sonny holding a blackboard that read: ‘We’re adding another pumpkin to our patch! Spring 2022.’
Briony previously said the couple were trying ‘not’ to get pregnant because Sonny was born premature and she worried there could be a risk of another premature birth so soon after having him.
