HIGHS AND LOWES: 'THESE WEREN'T THE FIRST YEARS OF MARRIAGE WE WERE EXPECTING'

When Natalie Lowe hung up her Strictly dancing shoes in 2017 after competing in seven series, she was set for the next chapter of her life – marrying partner James Knibbs in 2018 and welcoming their son Jack in December last year.

But the 39-year-old recently revealed that behind closed doors, her journey to a happy ever after was plagued with heartache. After discovering she was pregnant on their wedding day, she miscarried soon after and then suffered a second miscarriage five months later.

After seeking one-to-one therapy, the dancer chose to speak out about her loss for the first time and reveals to OK! that the experience proved to be a second form of therapy for her. She says, “I went from someone watched by millions on Strictly to a person who couldn’t leave the house to go to my local yoga studio. I couldn’t have spoken about my experiences without James. I couldn’t have got through the last two years without him.”

The couple, who met on a train to Leeds in 2015, insist it was fate that brought them together. “I wasn’t meant to get that train. I was running late and should’ve missed it but it was 10 minutes delayed,” James explains.

Here, as they open up their beautiful Cheshire home to OK!, the pair discuss getting through their tough first years of marriage, starting a family and their romantic first meeting...
