SAD NEWS Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden, 55, loses baby at 10 weeks pregnant

Jackiey Budden is grieving again

Jackiey Budden believed her baby was a girl and wanted to name her Harriet

Jackiey Budden is devastated after losing a baby she believed her late daughter Jade Goody was sending 'from Heaven'.

The 55-year-old, who was pregnant by now ex-boyfriend John Hickinbottom, 45, called out an emergency GP after suffering cramps and bleeding in the night.

She was told her baby had died, which was later confirmed after a scan at London's St Thomas's Hospital.

'The moment I realised the baby had died, I broke down in tears,' says Jackiey.

'It was so painful, both physically and mentally. It was just so awful.'

Jackiey has beaten her drug habit and was looking forward to another chance at motherhood after losing Big Brother star Jade to cervical cancer in March 2009. 

She's not in contact with her son Brett, 34, who now lives in Australia.

'I thought God was giving me one last chance to bring up a child,' she tells The People.

'I thought Jade was bringing me a little girl from up there. It was like she was helping me from Heaven.

'Now I'm so upset. I'm grieving again.

'The baby would never have replaced Jade but it would have given me something to love, like I love her.'
