At the time, Amanda Holden and Gok Wan were hosting This Morning.
But sadly, a segment on the ‘most beautiful babies’ left Sharon overcome with emotion.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Sharon recalled: “There was one day, just after I’d had a miscarriage, and there was an item on the show about the most beautiful babies in Britain.
I had a massive breakdown
“I had a massive breakdown and confided in Amanda Holden and Gok Wan who were hosting that day.
“They were so lovely and Amanda told me to go and get counselling, which I did.”
Sharon also revealed that Alison offered to be a surrogate for her.

Speaking to The Sun in 2019, Sharon said: “Until Betsey was actually put in my arms and I heard her let out the most almighty yell, I always felt like someone was going to say it’s all going to be taken away from me.
“I’d never allowed myself to go and buy something for the baby before I’d given birth.
“I wouldn’t even let myself look at the baby clothes in a shop. I was terrified to jinx it.”
