Holly Willoughby was left teary on Monday's This Morning after a caller emotionally asked for advice after suffering a miscarriage while in self-isolation.

The presenter, 39, hosted a special segment with co-host Phillip Schofield and TV psychologist Emma Kenny where viewers could call-in with their anxieties during the UK COVID-19 lockdown. 

During the call-in, a woman called Sarah, who had changed her name for the ITV chatshow, phoned in for advice after tragically suffering a miscarriage while in self-isolation.

Holly was left teary over the topic and her voice cracked as she said: 'Oh, Sarah I'm so sorry I've just read the top line here. You are going through a horrible time. Are you OK to read this?'

To which Sarah asked the presenter to read out her story, Holly added: 'You are with your partner, and you're at home, and I'm so sorry but you are going through a miscarriage.  

'Obviously, you can't see friends to support you through this and you're finding it very hard. Are you OK?'

To which Emma bravely said: 'Yeah, I just wanted a bit of advice really.' 

TV psychologist Emma was on hand to offer guidance, she said: 'I think the hardest thing about having a miscarriage is, even if you have a partner with you, you feel like it's a very personal journey.  

'It's really hard for people to understand what a massive grief and loss it is. So first of all just be aware this is big, this is a death for you and this is something really personal.'

Emma also encouraged Sarah to reach out and talk to other people about what she is going through. 

It is estimated that one-in-eight pregnancies in women who know they are pregnant will end in miscarriage.

A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy is lost within the first 23 weeks after conception. 

The main symptoms are bleeding from the vagina, which may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain. A miscarriage can last up to two weeks. 

It is important to contact your doctor or midwife as soon as bleeding is detected so  an ultrasound can be used to determine if you are having a miscarriage. 

Pregnant women were placed in a vulnerable group by the Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty on March 16 during the COVID-19 crisis.  

While Prime Minister Boris Johnson put the UK on lockdown on March 23 and threatened people with fines or even arrest if they do not 'stay at home'. 

So far coronavirus has infected 47,806 and killed 4,934 in the UK alone.

Symptoms of a miscarriage 

It is estimated that one-in-eight pregnancies in women who know they are pregnant will end in miscarriage. 

A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy is lost within the first 23 weeks after conception. 

The main symptoms are bleeding from the vagina, which may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain. 

It is important to contact your doctor or midwife as soon as bleeding is detected so an ultrasound can be used to determine if you are having a miscarriage. 

A miscarriage can last up to two weeks with medicine or minor surgery sometimes recommended by your doctor or midwife.

There are various reasons women may have a miscarriage – it is common and is not usually caused by something they have done.

If a miscarriage happens in the second trimester – between weeks 14 and 26 – it may be a sign of an underlying problem.

Often, miscarriages are isolated events and women will go on to have successful pregnancies.

The majority of miscarriages can't be prevented, although being generally healthy will help reduce the risk.

Losing three or more pregnancies in a row - known as recurrent miscarriages - is uncommon but still affects around one in 100 women. 

You can find out more information on the NHS website.
