Danielle Lloyd has emotionally revealed her hopes of having another child are over, as doctors have urged her to have a hysterectomy.
The TV personality, 39, will be forced into an early menopause after a terrifying cancer scare. She says the thought of not having another baby is "heartbreaking".
Just six weeks ago, the model was rushed to hospital after she discovered she was bleeding in what she thought was a miscarriage.
However, doctors ruled a pregnancy out and discovered cysts on her ovaries, one of which was the size of a tennis ball. She underwent a biopsy and is awaiting the results to find out if she has endometrial cancer.
Danielle told OK! Magazine: “In some ways it is heartbreaking, I sometimes can’t imagine never having a little baby again. I’ve spoken to a few friends and were like, ‘Oh god, are you ready to go through menopause?’ but at the end of the day, I do have five kids which I’m thankful for.”

“I’ve gone through ups and downs and I just can’t imagine Autumn not having a little sister to grow up with. I just think it’s nice to have sisters close together so they’ve always got each other’s backs," she added.

She welcomed daughter Autumn in 2021 (@missdlloyd/Instagram)Danielle is already a mum to four sons and one daughter; Archie, 13, Harry, 12, nine-year-old George, Ronnie, five, and one-year-old Autumn.
Danielle had previously revealed her dream to have six children, as she wanted an "even number". However, she is coming to terms with not having another child, admitting "five is plenty".
Danielle now anticipates she will need to undergo a hysterectomy regardless of the results. She has spoken out about her ordeal to highlight the early symptom of feeling dazed and not herself which she had dismissed in the hope that others will get themselves checked sooner.
The former WAG welcomed her daughter Autumn in November 2021 and had been dreaming of welcoming a second daughter to her family. Yet husband Michael O'Neil didn't take her wishes seriously at first.
She told her husband her desire to add to their family and welcome a sixth child into the world "after a few wines", but he initially thought the Liverpool-born star was "messing around".
"When I was saying it to Michael, I think I’d had a few wines," she explained to OK! magazine. "I think he thought I was messing around, but I definitely wasn’t. I still think he thinks I’m messing around. Even with Autumn he was like, 'You didn’t tell me we were trying.' And I was like, 'Didn’t I?'
