Rebecca Ferguson has said that the father of her third child walked out on her while she was pregnant and admitted to cheating on her after she told him she was pregnant with his baby.
She admits that she was 'heartbroken' when she found out that he wanted nothing to do with their daughter Arabella. He apparently had another girlfriend and Ferguson claims that she was devastated when he let her go through her entire pregnancy by herself.
She said: "On the outside everyone must have thought everything was rosy at home. I kept a smile on my face and kept all my feelings inside because I had this awful feeling of shame, but I was heartbroken.
"Carrying Arabella for all those months on my own was so hard. But I thought there are two ways I could go about it.
"I can sit there and be bitter and angry at him, or accept life is short and I'm not going to waste my precious time with Arabella thinking of him."
Ferguson also has Lillie, 10, and eight-year-old Karl Jr. - and said that she felt "in denial and went into total shock" when she found that she was due to give birth to another child. This then turned to anger when the father decided not to be in the child's life.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "It was quite heartbreaking, to be honest - not that he wasn't ready to be a dad, but his reaction to me.
"He said he didn't want to carry on with us and then he admitted he had a girlfriend.
"It wasn't just heartbreaking, it was shameful for me. I remember thinking, 'People are going to think bad of me.'
"Apparently his girlfriend knew about me but chose to accept it, but I had no idea about her.
"I was fuming when I found out, I was so angry. And the main focus from him was to protect her feelings and her family's feelings. The way I was treated was wrong."
Since she has become a mother for the third time, Rebecca wishes the father of her child well and even goes so far as to thank him.
She is still friends with the father of her other two children, who has recently moved in with her to help her look after her three kids, however she insists that they are just friends.
