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.

Alesha's team hired Azuka as a dancer for her tour. Back in March, Alesha teased further detail on a band comeback. Alesha 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. The clip saw Londoner Alesha and bandmates Su-Elise Nash, 43, and Sabrina Washington, 46, shimming on stage as they belted out debut tune Why. Alesha gushed over the scenes, filmed in 2001, and added the words: "Cried when I just saw this. Top Of The Pops debut." She then tagged both Su-Elise and Sabrina in her upload, hinting she was on good terms after we exclusively revealed Alesha was sued by Sabrina back in 2020. Sabrina, who was Mis-Teeq's lead singer and wrote many of their hits, instigated legal proceedings against Alesha over royalties going back 15 years as well as legal proceedings against former label Universal. At the time, Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha is alleged to have 'wrongfully claimed' song-writing royalties for their first two singles Why and All I Want. The pair also fell out after management blocked Sabrina from appearing on Strictly Come Dancing — only for Alesha to shine on the BBC One show the following year. A pal previously said: 'It is war. Sabrina had to play second fiddle for years and Alesha received five per cent royalties for the girls' first two songs whereas Sabrina received nothing - they both should have got 2.5 per cent. 'Sabrina wasn't listed as a writer for the tracks but it was written in her contract that she would get pay parity. "She feels she is owed thousands." At the time, a spokesman for Alesha told MailOnline: "Alesha wrote the raps on both Why and All I Want and that is why she gets a split, the rest of the song was written by a production team…Sabrina has no reason to sue Alesha." BAND HISTORY Mis-Teeq started life as a four piece in 1999, yet Zena McNally left two years later. Recently, Zena Whitter - also known as Zena McNally - took radiant pics online for her over 25,000 Instagram followers who gushed over her ageless look. Mis-Teeq formed in 1999 when Alesha met singer Sabrina a few years earlier at their dance school, Dance Attic, in Fulham, London. At this time, Hammersmith-born singer Tina Bartlett joined Alesha and Sabrina to perform and write music as a trio called Face2Face. However, after a successful audition with another upcoming pop group, Tina would jump ship to became a member of 90s and 00s pop sensations S Club 7. This fuelled Alesha and Sabrina, who promptly replaced Tina with two new members, Zena and Dulwich songbird Su-Elise Nash who the duo spotted as she auditioned for another group. The final member added to the group would be Zena, who joined in 1999. The group signed to Telstar Records the following year and begin working with an array of producers to form their debut album. Mis-Teeq's debut single, Why?, was released in January 2001 and reached number 8 in the UK Singles chart that year. The noughties group went on to have six more consecutive top-10 singles and two top-ten albums across US, Europe, Asia and Australia, including their double platinum second album Eye Candy which was released in March 2003. In spite of this success, the girl power gang disbanded in 2005 while recording their never-released third album. All three members then turned their focus onto their respective solo careers. 6 6 6
