Mis-Teeq in talks to reunite ahead of band's 25th anniversary as Alesha Dixon confirms comeback plans She starred in the chart group alongside Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington. She lives in Sydney, with her fiance Ryan and their son Blu, who was born in 2021. FIGHT BACK Londoner Su-Elise's happy moment came just months after she told she had suffered another devastating miscarriage. Revealing it did not mark her first miscarriage, she said in December: "It's crazy how your life can change in 24 hours. What is miscarriage and why do pregnancies fail? MISCARRIAGE is generally the death of an unborn baby in the first 24 weeks – approximately six months – of pregnancy. Miscarriages may not be spoken about a lot but they are very common. Baby loss charity Tommy's estimates there are at least 250,000 per year in the UK and that one in every five pregnancies ends in miscarriage. It may not be clear why a miscarriage happens but they are rarely caused by anything done by the mother or father. Usually the embryo has a random genetic defect that means it cannot develop properly. Most women can go on to successfully have healthy babies in the future. The NHS says most miscarriages cannot be prevented but avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs while pregnant can reduce the risk. Some of the other most common reasons for a pregnancy to fail in the first 24 weeks are ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside of the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. It cannot survive and grow there so either dies naturally or must be terminated. Molar pregnancy is rarer but happens when a fertilised egg and/or placenta does not develop properly at the start of a pregnancy. There is no single reason why it happens and cannot be prevented, though it may be more common in very young or old mothers. A baby who dies after 24 weeks is considered a stillbirth. Source: NHS "This was supposed to be a beautiful pregnancy announcement, but here we are, grieving, heartbroken, and trying to come to terms with having another miscarriage." She described the shock of losing the baby despite seeing a strong heartbeat during a scan. In her post, Su-Elise added, "This was cruel and unjust. We saw your heart beating; it was so strong. Even though you were a total surprise, we wanted you so badly. We felt like all our stars had aligned, and we were ready, sooooooo ready for you." She expressed her sadness over not being able to save her baby, adding, "I wish I knew WHY your heart gave up. I wish I could have helped you. "My darling angel, it just wasn't our time for some cruel fated reason that we'll never understand. But you'll always be ours. Mummy and daddy will love you forever." She continued by thanking her unborn child, writing, "I so wish we could have had the happy ending that I know we all deserved. I love you so much. Thank you for being my everything." POP COMEBACK? Meanwhile, a career comeback could be on the cards too. Her bandmate Alesha, who who forged a solo career when the British R&B group split in 2005, has given fans fresh hope of a second stint and admitted they are further on than ever before when it comes to talking. Scandalous hitmakers Mis-Teeq were a huge part of the UK pop scene between 2001 and 2005. In a recent chat with Hits Radio's Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr, Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha has teased a fresh chapter for the super-cool girlband. James asked her if there were "any advances" on previous comeback chat, to which she replied: "There might be. "Well, next year is the 25th anniversary of Lickin' On Both Sides, our debut album." Fleur then chipped in and said: "It makes sense Alesha." The B With Me singer, who cut a cool figure in a shimmer dress and sunglasses, then continued: "So we are thinking, we're thinking. "Thinking doesn't mean we are doing, we're thinking. "Which is more than we've done." In March, Alesha teased further details on a band comeback. The star took to her Instagram Stories to re-post a clip showing the band, formed in 1999, making their debut on BBC series Top Of The Pops. 6 The Scandalous hitmaker gushed how she was excited for a 'lifetime of love' Credit: Instagram/su_elise 6 Su-Elise found fame in pop band Mis-Teeq Credit: Alamy
