Actress and singer Clare Grogan on miscarriage; travellers watch My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding with us; Graham Taylor previews the England game. With Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogarty.
Presented by Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogarty.
Following the news that Amanda Holden has lost her baby, we talk to actress and singer Clare Grogan who had 6 miscarriages and 4 failed IVF treatments. She speaks with passion about not hiding away from the subject, and brings us through the lows of her losses to the high of adopting her 6 year old girl.
In the second hour, our reporter Stephen Chittenden joins a group of travellers who spent last night watching Channel 4's my Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. They rail against some of the portrayals of their community.
In the final hour, has the government caused a tidal wave of low morale by cutting allowances as the Army Families Federation claims? The charity's CEO Julie McCarthy joins us, along with Colonel Tim Collins, who, when asked about the previous cuts in the army and the restructuring of the regiments, says the government "messed with magic that they didn't understand".
Plus Graham Taylor helps us look ahead to England's friendly against Denmark.
