In an incredibly candid post on Instagram – which was then re-shared by Mark, Laural revealed she had suffered pregnancy loss and spoke about the couple’s devastation.

“We all go through hard times and for Mark and I this week’s been incredibly sad,” she wrote.

Been riding a rough wave recently. My courageous wife Laural says it beautifully below. I love you Lollie, I'm so proud of you ❤️ #Repost @laural.furze ・・・ It's difficult to open up and post the hard stuff on social media but it doesn't feel right only posting the good. We all go through hard times and for Mark and I this week's been incredibly sad. @themarkfurze and I were going to make a big announcement this week.. We're having a baby! I'm 10 weeks pregnant and we've been so excited, daydreaming about what our little human would be like, getting ready for this new chapter. But, at my ultrasound we found out that the pregnancy isn't viable and I've had what's called a missed miscarriage where my body still thinks it's pregnant but the fetus hasn't progressed. I'm currently at the hospital waiting to have a D&C procedure to help my body along with the process. Pregnancy loss isnt talked about much, but it's actually really common and happens to 1 in 4 pregnancies. I have peace in knowing that it's likely because the embryo wasn't 100% healthy and not compatible with life. But still it's been an incredibly difficult few days to process everything. I cry a lot and have eaten ice cream everyday this week.. The tears are slowly stopping, but I think I'll keep eating ice cream for at least another week!! I wanted to share this because it doesn't feel right just pretending this huge life event hasn't happened to us. I want to respect it and be open about it. Women should feel more comfortable to talk about pregnancy loss and that's another reason I felt compelled to share my story. I'm sure there's a few of you reading this that have been through the same thing 💓 It sucks, but it's nothing to feel ashamed about. I've had a wonderful support network around me and I couldn't imagine doing this alone. Mark has been so incredibly wonderful to me this week, I feel so grateful to have a man like him by my side. We will get through this and we are doing our best to stay positive. We will try again one day in the future, but for now we will take things one day at a time and find our way back to a new normal ❤️ #pregnancyloss #miscarriage

The photo which accompanied the post was an image of Laural in a hospital bed with the former Home and Away star by her side and she explained they were currently awaiting a D&C procedure. A D&C, or Dilation and curettage, clears the uterine lining after a miscarriage.

“I have peace in knowing that it’s likely because the embryo wasn’t 100% healthy and not compatible with life,” Laural explained, but added that it had still been an emotional time.

“But still it’s been an incredibly difficult few days to process everything. I cry a lot and have eaten ice cream everyday this week.. The tears are slowly stopping, but I think I’ll keep eating ice cream for at least another week!!”

Mark, who appeared on The Voice earlier this year, said he was "proud" of his wife.

Laural added that she shared her story publicly as pregnancy loss is something many women experience and she wanted to be open about it rather than remain silent.

She also praised her husband for his support in during this difficult time,

“I’ve had a wonderful support network around me and I couldn’t imagine doing this alone.

“Mark has been so incredibly wonderful to me this week, I feel so grateful to have a man like him by my side.”

"I feel so grateful to have a man like him by my side.” Laural said of Mark's support.

Mark was equally complimentary about his wife, writing that he was “so proud” of Laural for dealing with the ordeal the way she had.

Ending on a positive note, Laural said she and Mark were still hoping to start a family in the future, but have put a pause on things for a while.

She said, “We will try again one day in the future, but for now we will take things one day at a time and find our way back to a new normal.”
