Love Island star Sharon Gaffka has revealed that she is healing from a miscarriage and said the foetus “would’ve been celebrating their first birthday this week”.
Sharon, who found fame on the seventh series of the ITV2 dating show in 2021 alongside the likes of Liam Reardon, Millie Court and Chloe Burrows, said the anniversary had hit her “like a train” and mentioned she had “found it incredibly tough to function” as normal.
In an Instagram post, the celebrity detailed her thoughts on the experience and said: “While I know I’m not the only one to have experienced such loss, I’ve struggled with finding a space where the unique emotional journey that those who don’t envision motherhood in their future go through when facing such a loss.” She added: “For individuals who never intended to become parents, the grief following a miscarriage is confusing. “The traditional narrative surrounding motherhood doesn’t apply, making it challenging to find spaces that resonate with their feelings.” In April this year, the celebrity blacked out and needed to stop at the medical tent as she attempted to complete the London Marathon.
She was takingpart in the annual marathon event and still manage to rise victorious against the 26.2-mile course in five hours and 30 minutes.
