Laura Adlington, 32, revealed she chose not to start a family with husband Matt after doctors told her she would need to lose weight before she could start the treatment. The Great British Bake Off star said having to decide against having children was “the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through”.
She said: “Unless you’ve gone through infertility and that heartache of really wanting it and it not happening… It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.”
Laura, who appeared on the 2020 series of the Channel 4 show, went on to explain how infertility affected her mental health.
She admitted she found herself thinking: “What’s the point?” If she could not start family.
Laura said: “I’ve never thought, ‘I want to take my own life’, but I definitely have had thoughts that I didn’t want to be here any more.

In a follow-up story, Laura went on to open up about her heartbreak upon finding a babygrow she and Matt had bought.
She said: “Sorry, wasn’t planning on sharing that. Guess it’s really on my mind.
“I don’t really think about it any more to be honest, but some days, out of nowhere it just comes and slaps you in the face.”
Laura continued: “Like the other day, I was clearing out under the bed and found a babygrow we bought about six years [ago] from Tesco when we first started trying.
