The star, who got engaged to MasterChef judge John Torode, 53, on Christmas Day last year, suffered an ectopic pregnancy more than a decade ago.
The 47-year-old went through three rounds of IVF treatment before adopting her daughter with her first husband, actor Chris Coghill, in 2008.
She said: “Everyone around me seemed to be pregnant, and that made me feel such a failure. I lost sight of everything – my marriage, my friends and my family.”

The Met Office’s Sophie Yeomans said: “By Tuesday night, there could be thunderstorms, which break down the heat and make it feel fresher as showers come in.”
