Actress and model Kelly Brook suffers miscarriage

British actress and model Kelly Brook suffered a miscarriage over the weekend after five months of pregnancy.

The Piranha 3D star, 31, was expecting her first child with former rugby player Thom Evans.

"I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby," Brook's spokesman Jonathan Hackford told the Sun. "They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time and there will be no further comment."

Brook, who would have been due this coming August, was very excited to be pregnant with her first child. "Thom and I are happy to announce we are expecting a baby girl. We are delighted XXXXX," she wrote on her Twitter page in March.

A source close to Brook told the Sun, "The baby wasn't planned but she was thrilled and it would have been the best loved little girl in all the world."

"She has always wanted children and a family and although she hasn't been with Thom long they were so excited about becoming parents," the source continued. "Thom is being a tower of strength to her but he's grieving too."
