Anthea Turner: Facing infertility is horrendous

Hell’s Kitchen star has come to terms with fact she won’t be a mum

Monday, 25 May 2009

Anthea Turner has opened up about not being able to ever experience motherhood.

The Hell's Kitchen star and husband Grant Bovey, both 48, have had no luck with fertility treatments.

‘I’ve had more IVF procedures than you can shake a stick at – none successful,’ says Anthea.

‘It wrings you out emotionally on every level and it’s horrendous coming to terms with the fact you can’t have the baby you so desperately want.

'It took me years to get over the sadness and accept it won’t ever happen.’

Now Anthea has now come to terms with her fate.

‘Women are like tea bags,’ she tells Fabulous. ‘You only know how strong they are when you put them in hot water.’

Accepting childlessness is very difficult but there is support available at www.moretolife.co.uk for those in this situation.

well she's not exactly young so it's not that unusual for her not to get pregnant.
