MIC’s Ollie Locke and husband Gareth share heartbreaking details about their attempt to have a baby

Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke and her husband Gareth have spoken openly about their struggles to get pregnant through a surrogate mother.

The couple appeared for an emotional interview at Good Morning UK on Monday and shared heartbreaking details about their surrogate mother’s recent miscarriage and their determination to become parents using IVF.

Ollie, 35, said the couple has not given up on their dreams of starting a family and will start another IVF cycle next month.

“We had a failed IVF attempt and miscarriage and we’ll be back next month for our next round,” Ollie said candidly.

Ollie said that Gareth, 31, and he are open with fans about their struggle, as they want to use their public platform to raise awareness and help others.

‘We think representation is very important and [we] We have a platform to do that – we wanted to do it publicly,” he said.

In January, the couple appeared in Lorraine and announced that they had lost five embryos in one year during the struggle to become parents.

“We had a failed IVF attempt and miscarriage, and we’re going to try again next month for our next round,” Ollie said candidly.

“This is our main and complete goal. We are so ready,” Ollie says of his plans to try IVF again.

‘We lost five embryos in the last year. We went to Cyprus, Mexico and the USA, it was difficult and very expensive. But we are still trying and we have a lot of support.

Gareth added: “All the backlash just lets you know you’re ready.”

The reality TV stars shared their journey on social media, and Lorraine and the couple agreed that it’s important to use their platform to tackle tough issues.

Helping Others: Ollie says Gareth, 31, and he are open with fans about their struggles as they want to use their public platform to raise awareness and help others.

Ollie said: “The Made In Chelsea crowd was a great ride. Now it’s great to be part of a community that speaks more openly about abortions and IVF.

Ollie shared on Instagram that they lost a baby last year and shared a photo of a robe that read “Baby Locke” on it.

Alongside the robe photo, Ollie revealed that her surrogates sadly miscarried at six weeks after learning she was pregnant in November.

He wrote: ‘Trigger alert. This is the last thing I want to write about, but unfortunately it is part of our journey.

Fight: In January, the couple appeared in Lorraine and announced that they lost five embryos in one year during the struggle to become parents.

“In early November, our lives changed in the most extraordinary and wonderful way, she polished two perfect lines with a pregnancy test that told us we were pregnant, and Gareth, I, our surrogate and our families were delighted.

“After a rough year, a little bean has become the best person imaginable, the best early Christmas gift we can imagine.

“It stopped growing at a natural interval of 6 weeks and 2 days and disappeared.”
