Ollie Locke and husband Gareth recall moment they heard their attempt at IVF had been unsuccessful

Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth announced in May that they were trying to have a baby via surrogate, but in mid July declared that the attempt had been unsuccessful.

And now the TV personality has candidly spoken about the moment they heard the sad news, revealing that the Made In Chelsea camera crew was present at the time and that he knew their surrogate was delivering bad news ‘as soon as I heard her voice’.

Speaking on Pretty Little Thing’s Behind Closed Doors podcast, Ollie, 34, explained: ‘We sat there on this very table and Chelsea were all around, and we started discussing the situation and suddenly… we heard her voice.’

Gareth continued: ‘I said, as soon as I hear her voice, I’m gonna know exactly what it is. She was like ”hey…” and my face dropped. Ollie looked at me and he was like, ”it’s a no…” and she said, ”I’m so sorry, it didn’t work”. She was devastated.’

Ollie then revealed that they had allowed MIC cameras to be present for the phone call as they were ‘so confident’ that they were about to receive good news.

The star went on: ‘No one knows this but, we were so confident it was going to be a ”all good we’re pregnant” that we decided to allow the cameras in that day to get the really positive news.’

Ollie shared in HELLO! magazine last month that their first attempt to have a child via IVF was unsuccessful, but insisted that they remained ‘optimistic’ and would try again.

He said at the time: ‘I think our expectations were very high and we really thought it was going to work, but nature’s nature and we can’t do anything about it.

‘We have to think that it wasn’t meant to be and we are going to go ahead in a month or so and do it again. We’re optimistic.

‘Sometimes it just doesn’t work. But that’s not going to stop us from trying again and again.’

Gareth added: ‘The feeling of not being pregnant this time really made us realise how much we want to become parents and we are determined to do that.’

Ollie later took to Instagram to announce to his 476,000 followers who have all been following his journey that sadly their round of IVF had been unsuccessful.

In a heartfelt note, he penned: ‘We wanted to share an update with all our amazing supportive followers who have been with us on our surrogacy journey.

‘I’m sorry I have been quiet, sadly we found out last week our first attempt at IVF hasn’t worked and after the heartbreaking news we have come to terms with the situation and are now looking forward to getting out to go for a second attempt very soon.

‘Doing surrogacy and IVF is not a straight forward thing and there are a lot of ups and downs and testing times that really make you appreciate what it means to achieve the end result of having children.

‘Our heart goes out to everyone who have been through this and still going through it and hope that sharing this journey and experience will highlight how difficult and emotional the journey really is.

‘The support we have had has been amazing and we will continue to keep you all a part of our journey. I adore all you and all your kind messages, we are being super positive and looking forward to the next round!

‘Our surrogate is the best human I have ever met and we love her so very much, thank you for being our superstar Xxxx.’
