Victoria, who claimed she was in a 'state of shock', said: 'For me, it's about the support after. You feel very low. I found it difficult to concentrate on anything.'
'I'm a bit older and it wasn't my first experience but it was Sid's. When you're in your 40s you've coped with things in life.'
Her other-half added: 'It was really difficult. When it happened during Covid we went to hospital and I wasn't allowed in. I was on the phone checking up. I knew what had happened but I didn't want to believe it.'
The actor went on to outline how the pair lay down afterwards holding hands as Victoria wept.

He said: 'You just want to be strong for a partner. I can't even imagine what it's like for a woman internally.
'It was the first time I'd got someone pregnant. It was all that excitement. For years all of my brothers were telling me I was a Jaffar.'
Victoria, who has two children, shared the 'miracle' news that she'd fallen pregnant again, after originally planning to try IVF in their quest to start a family.
Sid first announced his baby news back in September in an interview with the Sunday Mirror.

She told the ITV show: 'We're so lucky that we fell quickly again but it's definitely impacted this pregnancy.
'You do feel a big sense of guilt. Even though I've had two children. You think, is it something I've done this time.
Sid added: 'You're walking on eggshells and you worry about the smallest thing. From day one you're attached to this tiny thing.'
'We know what it's gonna be but Victoria wants to keep it quiet.'
Victoria joked that Sid is going to be a very relaxed dad, while she will be taking on the bad cop character.
