However, the husband and wife team’s private joy quickly turned to sorrow after the show’s open inspections and Shay began to experience painful cramps.

The 29-year-old recalled: ‘I kept saying to myself, “It will be alright”. But it just got consistently worse over the next two days, and that’s when we lost the baby’.

Her loving husband added: ‘We tried to look after her and take it easy, but unfortunately it didn’t pan out for us’.

While the pair – who live in Newcastle - were away from friends and relatives due to the show’s filming location in Melbourne, Shay opted to stay on site and keep busy with work and she praises her husband for his ‘incredible support’ during the hard time.

She revealed that during the tragic time she felt like she has been ‘robbed’ and had started to question if the miscarriage had been her fault.

But Dean made it clear that he did not want her to feel that way explaining: ‘She was feeling a bit guilty that maybe she’d let the stress get to her. No-one’s to blame. It’s definitely not her fault. I just reassured her that we’ll keep trying and hopefully it will all work out.
