IT was sad to hear that model Nell McAndrew has had to have her first pregnancy terminated owing to dangerous complications.

The 31-year-old only recently announced the pregnancy and it was obvious that she and husband Paul Hardcastle were delighted.

It's a terrible blow, and other couples faced with this terrible dilemma will understand the heartache.

But, judging by the grit and determination Nell shows in her fitness videos - and in the practical, unstarry way she runs her life - she will survive this. And, hopefully, go on to enjoy another, healthier pregnancy.
