PARIS Fury has opened up about her heartbreaking miscarriage for the first time and why she hid it from husband Tyson.
The couple, who have opened up about wanting 10 kids, earlier this year revealed that they had lost their eight child.
Paris, 34, recalled the moment she was told that she had miscarried for the third time, having also lost babies in 2014 and 2018.
"I knew there was a problem. I didn’t know, my head was sort of telling me, actually, no, you’re wrong… but I was looking at screen, thinking, ‘Why is that not flickering?," she told the Mirror.
The star said she was in tears when the sonographer broke the news to her, saying she felt "frantic and in disbelief".
She was then sent to Lancaster Hospital the following day to be seen by another specialist.
Opening up about the heartbreak of losing three children, Paris said: "I lost one in the first trimester, and two in the second trimester, two that I’ve had to deliver. We’ve buried two baby boys.”
TV star Paris had miscarried just hours before her husband's defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The former heavyweight world champion, 36, lost to the Ukrainian in their undisputed showdown in Saudi Arabia on May 18.
Paris was due to arrive in Riyadh on the Friday, the day before the fight.
But the Loose Women star called to tell her husband that she would not make the Riyadh trip - selflessly blaming high blood pressure.
Paris has now explained that she wanted to tell her husband the bad news in person and after his big fight.

She added: “It does affect the father, but for the woman who carries that child, it is more severe. No matter how much it hurts Tyson, it’s 10 times worse for me."
Paris admitted that she felt like her "world had ripped to pieces" in that moment, but insisted she was stronger mentally and physically now.
The boxer had publicly hinted that Paris was pregnant with baby No8 on social media back in March.
He posted an Instagram story of his glamorous wife and wrote: "Mother of seven and still beautiful. Still strong and still my rock. #8incoming. Lucky for some."
But weeks later, the couple suffered more miscarriage agony - after previously opening up on a stillbirth in 2014 and Paris losing a baby on the day of Tyson's boxing comeback after 32 months in 2018.
Fury has since opened up about losing his eight child.
Fury lost an iconic split decision - stunning the world with his resilience once again by staying on his feet after a ninth-round battering.
But he does not want the heart-wrenching family tragedy to be blamed as an excuse for his first pro defeat.
Ahead of the December 21 rematch, Fury explained: “The one that she was having, she lost that on the Friday of the fight, which was pretty s****y.
“I am not making excuses but she was six months pregnant, it’s not like a small miscarriage at the beginning, you have to physically give birth to a dead child, on your own, while your husband is in a foreign country.
“I could not be there for her in that moment. And that is tough for me.
"I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn’t with her, so it is hard that I couldn’t be there with her, in that time.
“When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem.
“She usually comes out on fight week but she said she had high blood pressure.
“She said she couldn’t come and I asked her what was up and asked her to tell me but she wouldn’t.
“So I knew, I knew, I knew there was a problem. I said to my brother, ‘She’s lost that baby.’
“She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew.”
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.
