Michelle Clark, 32, became pregnanct with twins by her fiancé Karl Davis, but he tragically passed away from cancer before they were born.

And in yet more tragic news, Michelle's babies were then both born prematurely and did not survive past a few weeks old.

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY TO GIVE BIRTH LIVE ON THIS MORNING?

Within four months, Michelle had lost three beloved people from her life, but she didn't give up on her dreams of having a family.

Thanks to IVF treatment using her dead fiancé's sperm, Michelle became pregnant and gave birth to a baby son Max.

The administration officer for Salford council said it was 'devastating' for her to lose Karl and the twins, but that the IVF has allowed her to 'have a little bit of Karl to keep forever.'

Fiance Karl fell ill with leukaemia at the age of just 24, and after three years of chemo and treatment, the couple decided to use previously frozen sperm samples to try and get pregnant.

However, when Michelle was 3 months pregnant with twins, Karl died from cancer at just 27-years-old.

Just four months later, Michelle was also to lose her beloved twins, Karl and Ria, after they were born prematurely.

But determined to fulfil her fiancé's dream of having a family, Michelle underwent IVF alone and gave birth to a healthy son in June 2013.

We wish Michelle and Max every happiness in their lives together!
