On Tuesday (10.27.15), she wrote: “5 years ago today I was admitted to hospital”.

She then revealed that Something’s Not Right from Hugh Jackman’s Pan soundtrack was actually written in her son’s memory.

“It’s unlike me to discuss this sort of thing so publicly but I wrote this song in his memory when writing something for @panmovie”.

Lily linked her tweets to the donation page for Sands, the Stillbirth and neonatal death charity, and asked people to donate in memory of her late son.

The revelation comes ahead of the anniversary of the birth of her baby boy, who she delivered stillborn six months into her pregnancy after contracting a viral infection. She said: ‘It was horrendous and something I would not wish on my worst enemy. If he hadn’t died, it wouldn’t have physically been possible for our eldest to be alive because I got pregnant with her so quickly.

In an interview past year 30-year-old Lily opened up about the loss of her and her now husband Sam Coopers first child. “I have dealt with it, you know, as being at one with it. But it’s not something that you get over”. “Even though it was the most unfortunate thing that can ever happen to a person, I was fortunate in the sense that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that experience with”, she said. She subsequently had to undergo treatment for depression.
