In June 2016, Tana suffered a miscarriage when she was five months pregnant. In an interview with the Daily Mail’s weekend magazine, Ramsay reflected on the tragedy and the impact it had on the family. He said: “It has brought us all so much closer.

“You realise how lucky you are and you reflect on what you have, how fortunate you are with your remaining children and you remind yourself of what you’ve got. It’s made the family unit even tighter.”
