Jessica Hayes has said her one-year-old was her “reason for carrying on” after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage.

The Love Island star recently shared her devastation after suffering a miscarriage at 19 weeks pregnant.

She’d named the boy Teddy, and penned an emotional note apologising to him for “not keeping you safe a little while longer.”

Now she’s written another powerful note, thanking her son Presley, who she shares with fiancé Dan Lawry, and posting a sweet snap of the tot sleeping.

Jess, who won Love Island’s first series, wrote: “Never have I been so grateful to have this sweet boy of mine, he’s given me a reason to be strong a reason to carry on.

“I’ve told him all about his little brother and how he will watch over and look after him.

“I will make sure I make them both proud.”

Jess had written: “To Our little teddy I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep you safe for a little while longer.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t take you home . I’m sorry we had to say goodbye this way it wasn’t supposed to be like this.

“The pain is unbearable and I feel like I’m drowning in grief.”

She added: “I look down at my empty stomach where you should still be growing safely and i feel so empty without you there no kicks no flutters .

“I could see Presley in you, you were so beautiful, perfectly formed.

“You would never get to play together and be best friends in this world and that hurts so much he would of loved you his little brother so much.

“I’m grateful that we shared 19 weeks together and I carried you for as long as I could before it was your time to gain your wings.”

Jess finished the post: “I love you now , forever and always .Your mummy, Daddy and big brother Presley.”
