MODEL Daisy Lowe has opened up about her “heartbreaking” secret abortion.
The former Strictly dance star admitted she was scared at the idea of having a child.
And she revealed her then boyfriend had wanted to keep the baby.
Daisy, 30, said: “I wasn’t ready to be a mum.
“It was heartbreaking. But I’m so grateful I didn’t have that baby. I would have sacrificed a lot and I wouldn’t have been the best mum at the time.”
Daisy told of her ordeal on Spice Girl Mel B’s new dating podcast The Truth Flirts with Badoo.
Asked by Mel, 44, if she would date somebody who had “conflicting ideas on abortion”, Daisy replied: “I wouldn’t be able to date someone who had conflicting ideas on abortion, no.
“Because it’s every woman’s right to do whatever they do. Ultimately there are a lot of very unwanted, unwell kids in the world who need a whole lot of love.
“The planet is overpopulated enough, so why should we bring unwanted kids into the world.
“I think it’s important. It’s a heartbreaking decision to make.
“I’m really grateful that I had the choice growing up.”
Daisy, dating singer Jack Penate, 35, said: “There are secret squirrels who have views on abortion.
“The only time when it has come up in my relationship was when I did get pregnant and I did need to make the choice and I chose to have one.
