Charlotte announced she was expecting her third child, her first with partner Jonny, during Birmingham's iconic Pride celebrations last month when she took to the stage and revealed her growing baby bump.
Charlotte and Jonny have been together since 2010 following her split from Welsh rugby player Gavin Henson, with whom she has two children: Ruby, 9, and Dexter, 8.
Fans on the singer's Twitter profile have been quick to share their sympathy with the couple.
"Very, very sorry for your loss," one person wrote. "An awful thing for your family. Rest and grieve, its needed."
