Amanda Holden revealed the heartbreak she faced when losing her baby son Theo at birth nine years ago as she praised the NHS.

The TV presenter, 49, spoke about how much the NHS has helped her throughout her life as she discussed her new charity single Over The Rainbow.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Monday, Amanda opened up on the heartbreak of her son after he was “born sleeping”, saying she also faced more complications with the arrival of her daughter Hollie.

"It has been well documented that Chris and I had a baby boy who was born sleeping at an NHS hospital…

She added: ”So that was pretty traumatic, and then three years ago my sister had a car accident that she has fully recovered from now.

"But all those incidents were massively trying and the NHS were there to support us all the way through."

In 2011, at seven months pregnant with her son with husband Chris Hughes, a scan revealed Theo's heart had stopped and she later underwent a Caesarean to deliver him.

It comes after Amanda also opened up on complications she faced with daughter Hollie while speaking on her Heart radio show.

Discussing her own experience first, she said: "When I gave birth to Hollie, my eight year old daughter who I know is listening, she was an emergency and I haemorrhaged, basically.
