'So in a few weeks time I shall be checking in to a friends treatment centre and I won't be leaving until I'm a 100% well in my mind body and (love).'

While she has now confirmed she is feeling happier and healthier than before, she had relived the pain of her miscarriage by seeing the tot's name in a local shop in Spain over the weekend.

The blonde shared a picture of some tiles in a shop, which spelled the name 'Lenny' on Saturday, alongside the caption: 'Of all the names they choose this one to use ... was gonna be my babies name #sadWhenISawIt.'
