Missy Bo Kearns has described experiencing “a different type of grief” after having a miscarriage last month. The Aston Villa and England midfielder had announced her pregnancy just over two weeks before sharing the tragic loss of her and her partner Liam Walsh’s baby.

Speaking to ITV News, the 25-year-old said she thought she was experiencing symptoms from the pregnancy on 18 March when she was shaking and had a temperature of 42C but the Aston Villa team doctor, Dr Jodie Blackadder-Weinstein, told her she needed to call Walsh – a midfielder at Luton – and get to hospital.
