EastEnders actor Ricky Champ’s wife, Samantha, revealed via an Instagram Q&A session that they suffered a miscarriage.
Ricky’s wife, Samantha, experienced the miscarriage before becoming pregnant with their second child.
Ricky, 41, who plays Stuart Highway on the BBC1 soap opera, revealed last month that his wife gave birth to baby number two.
During a question and answer session on Instagram, Samantha opened up about the heartbreaking loss and admitted that she feels lucky to have conceived again.
One listener asked, “Was baby number 2 planned?”
Samantha replied, “Yes, baby 2 was planned. I always wanted to wait until B was more independent, but not so long that they weren’t close.”

Ricky added: “We had a loss in August which was very sad so I feel lucky to have gotten pregnant again so soon after.”
The soap opera star and Samantha already have a four-year-old daughter named Beatrix.
In EastEnders, Ricky’s character Stuart and his wife Rainie Cross previously suffered similarly to the real-life couple.
In heartbreaking scenes, the fictional couple was devastated when Rainie was rushed to the hospital shortly after sharing the news of her pregnancy with Stuart.

Despite being excited by the news that they could become parents, the soap opera’s doctor shared the heartbreaking news that there was no baby during a screening visit.
Ricky is currently involved in another big story where his character Stuart is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Ricky said of the story: “I’m honored to be entrusted with such an important story.
“We’re going to see Stuart really struggling with the fact that he has cancer, and knowing that it’s breast cancer is really hard for him to wrap his head around.”

Ricky made his first appearance as Stuart in May 2018.
What EastEnders fans didn’t know about the actor was that he made his first appearance in Albert Square over a decade ago.
Ricky played the role of a photographer who came to Queen Vic to take pictures of Sam Mitchell (Daniella Westbrook).
