Myleene Klᴀss is pushing for change in the law so that women and their partners can get paid bereavement leave after having a miscarriage. 

The 46-year-old and MP Sarah Owen – who have both had miscarriages in the past – appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain to talk about it. 

Presenter Ed Balls explained to viewers at home that one in five miscarriages happen before 24 weeks, so most parents aren’t eligible for paid bereavement leave – and the Women and Equalities Committee want to change that. 

They would like a law to be introduced so that women and their partners would be able to take bereavement leave before that time scale. 

Myleene, who was enтιтled to sick leave after her miscarriage, said: ‘This is where the complication comes because you know you need the time off. 

‘I actually at the time couldn’t take the time off.

‘It feels you have to take the option. Whereas bereavement leave, the boundaries of the employee and employer are very clear.

‘This is not the first time this has been muted, which I guess is frustrating. It’s integral to looking after the women and the families mental health. 

‘How can you dismiss the loss of a child in the same bracket as someone having a common cold?… just needing to see a GP.

‘There has been a baby loss. That should be acknowledged.’

Those watching at home took to X to share how much they agreed with the star.

One said: ‘Totally agree, sick leave just doesn’t cut it for something this serious. It’s like comparing apples to, well, a whole different universe of pain.’

Another tweeted: ‘Hear hear! It’s the civilised thing to do!’

Fans rushed to X to share the same thoughts as Myleene 

‘I think women and our partners should have bereavement leave paid of course so they can sort their lives out and get to terms of what’s happened because it’s a traumatic experience and people need to I have to time off just to get things right again,’ a third wrote.

Christine praised her highly for the work that she’s doing and said to Myleene: ‘Your work has been amazing.

‘To hear all of these big names, including The King seeing the word miscarriage and know it something you’re working on and that we’re dealing with. It’s fantastic.’

Myleene replied: ‘You’re going to make me cry!’

The star is a proud mum to three kids.

Myleene and fiancé Simon Motson are parents to five-year-old son Apollo.
