Gemma Collins has taken to social media to thank fans for their flood of support following her Loose Women appearance.
Chatting to the panel via a video call, Gemma told that she had suffered another miscarriage during the lockdown period.
She also told of her diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - a condition that affect how a woman's ovaries work.
"It was really difficult for me in isolation," she recalled, "with my condition PCOS, it's not easy to fall pregnant, and I suffered a miscarriage which was really sad during the lockdown period."
This comes shortly after she revealed she had had a miscarriage in 2012.
Now, taking to Instagram with a fresh-faced snap, Gemma wrote a heartfelt message to those who've offered kind words and messages of support.
"Thank you so much for all your love and support after my @loosewomen today," she penned, "means the world to have your support."
She's since been swamped with even more messages, from both fans and her showbiz pals.
Helen Flanagan left her a heart emoji, while Gillian McKeith told Gemma she was "looking fab."
A fan commented: "So sorry for your loss Gemma. You're so good at putting on a brave face, it's OK to let the front down from time to time."
Another offered: "Thank you for talking about PCOS and the many troubles this condition brings us."
She did tell the Loose Women that despite her heartache, her doctor feels she's "winning" the fight with her condition.
Gemma reckons her incredible weight loss and health drive has had something to do with it.
"I've been doing it slowly, it's not been a massive, fast, rapid thing," she explained, "I want it to stay off this time - he said to me, 'You've got no cysts on your ovaries anymore, that's cleared up. So, we're winning.'
"'You do suffer from the syndrome so you get the symptoms that go with it. But you're cervix and everything is perfect for when you're ready. However, you need to get your weight down, you need to get at least another two stone off.'
"And when it comes to it they might be able to give me something called Clomid which could potentially speed the process up.
