The singer told how she'd planned to share news of her pregnancy but instead found herself mourning the tragic turn of events.

Su-Elise, who lives in Sydney, with her partner Ryan St David Jones and their son Blu, three, posted a photo of herself cradling her stomach in a pool whilst wearing a yellow bikini.

She explained that the image had meant to accompany a joyful announcement.

Revealing it did not mark her first miscarriage, she said, "It’s crazy how your life can change in 24 hours. This was supposed to be a beautiful pregnancy announcement, but here we are, grieving, heartbroken, and trying to come to terms with having another miscarriage."

She described the shock of losing the baby despite seeing a strong heartbeat during a scan.

In her post, Su-Elise added, "This was cruel and unjust. We saw your heart beating; it was so strong. Even though you were a total surprise, we wanted you so badly. We felt like all our stars had aligned, and we were ready, sooooooo ready for you."

She expressed her sadness over not being able to save her baby, adding, "I wish I knew WHY your heart gave up. I wish I could have helped you.

"My darling angel, it just wasn’t our time for some cruel fated reason that we’ll never understand. But you’ll always be ours. Mummy and daddy will love you forever."

She continued by thanking her unborn child, writing, "I so wish we could have had the happy ending that I know we all deserved. I love you so much. Thank you for being my everything."

Su-Elise first rose to fame in the early noughties as part of Mis-Teeq, alongside Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington.

The trio became known for hits such as Scandalous and achieved worldwide success, selling over 12 million records and landing several top-ten singles before disbanding in 2005.

Following the group’s breakup, Su-Elise shifted her focus to education, earning dance teaching qualifications and founding the Su-Elise Stage School in 2007.

More recently, she moved to Australia’s Central Coast, where she lives with her family and runs a sustainable swimwear brand, SUZU Swimwear.

Despite remaining close with her former bandmates, a Mis-Teeq reunion does not appear to be on the cards.

Alesha commented on the possibility during a This Morning interview in 2022, saying, "There won’t be a Mis-Teeq reunion anytime soon.

"I caught up with Su-Elise in Australia. She lives there now. Our babies were playing together. The Mis-Teeq babies!"

What is miscarriage and why do pregnancies fail?

MISCARRIAGE is generally the death of an unborn baby in the first 24 weeks – approximately six months – of pregnancy.

Miscarriages may not be spoken about a lot but they are very common. Baby loss charity Tommy's estimates there are at least 250,000 per year in the UK and that one in every five pregnancies ends in miscarriage.

It may not be clear why a miscarriage happens but they are rarely caused by anything done by the mother or father. Usually the embryo has a random genetic defect that means it cannot develop properly.

Most women can go on to successfully have healthy babies in the future.

The NHS says most miscarriages cannot be prevented but avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs while pregnant can reduce the risk.

Some of the other most common reasons for a pregnancy to fail in the first 24 weeks are ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside of the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. It cannot survive and grow there so either dies naturally or must be terminated.

Molar pregnancy is rarer but happens when a fertilised egg and/or placenta does not develop properly at the start of a pregnancy. There is no single reason why it happens and cannot be prevented, though it may be more common in very young or old mothers.

A baby who dies after 24 weeks is considered a stillbirth.
