CORONATION Street star Sam Aston’s wife Briony has revealed she’s suffered two miscarriages within four months.
The heartbroken mum, 27, revealed the sad news on Instagram this morning.

She wrote: “This is a difficult thing to share, but in the interest of breaking the taboo, I’m miscarrying again, the second time in four months…it’s heartbreaking and it’s unfair, BUT I’m not seeking sympathy, I feel well supported and want others to feel supported too.
“And that’s why I wanted to post this today, because having people you can talk to and receiving comfort from those who have been through something similar makes the world of difference.”
Trainee midwife Briony revealed she and husband Sam had been supported by their family and friends before publicly announcing the miscarriages.
She continued: “We’d told close friends and family about both pregnancies, because I knew that, for me, I would want support from those people if it wasn’t meant to last. But I wouldn’t have been so open had I not heard from other women about the babies they lost and their stories.
“So thank you to all the women before me who have shared their stories and talked about their babies, it makes processing this a lot easier, and I don’t feel alone at all.
“In fact I feel the opposite of alone, I feel held and heard and I hope that by continuing these difficult conversations about miscarriage and pregnancy loss we open the door for others who will sadly experience loss too.”
Briony and Sam’s second child, a daughter called Daisy, was born last May. They also have a two-year-old boy called Sonny.
The couple got married in 2019, two years after announcing their engagement.
They exchanged their vows – and did a yoga-themed first dance – in front of friends, family members and his soap co-stars at Stock Farm in Cheshire.
