Tina Malone Bribed IVF Doctor on 50th Birthday to ‘Make Me Pregnant’ After Losing 12 Stone

BBG News

On her 50th birthday, Tina Malone stepped into her fertility specialist’s office with a heartfelt plea: “Help me become a mother.

52 years after starting her career on Shameless, the actress gave birth to her second child named Flame, who is now 11 years old, following an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedure using donated eggs at the age of 50 in 2013.

On the Lewis Nicholls Show last Thursday, Tina opened up about her emotional journey towards motherhood once more, as she longed to have a child with her younger husband Paul Chase, who tragically passed away 19 years his junior to her.

In the interview, Tina shared that she drew upon the resilience she cultivated in her acting career to navigate her personal life. She persevered in attempting to have another child, even when faced with condescension from others who would remark, “Poor thing.

Afterward, she disclosed that at first, Dr. R. Gazvania, a Consultant Gynaecologist from Cyprus, declined her request for IVF treatment based on her weight and certain other factors. However, after she had lost 12 stones, she persistently encouraged him to provide her with the necessary care.

She informed host Lewis, “I had declared that I would have a child at the age of 50, but people might react with ‘she’s truly blessed!’ more so. However, I gave birth and just four weeks later, I turned 51. Not only did I breastfeed, but I now have a stunning 11-year-old daughter and a 43-year-old daughter. I firmly believe that if you desire something deeply and work diligently towards it…

When I encountered my surgeon, he said, “Given that you’re significantly overweight, you’re two decades older than your spouse, your daughter is grown and married, you work 80 hours a week on Shameless, you’re a smoker with a history of drug and alcohol use, I don’t believe you meet the criteria for us to travel to Cyprus or Spain for fertility treatment.” I responded, “I understand.

Afterward, Tina disclosed that she had managed to dramatically transform her life. She strode back into his office, clutching an envelope filled with money and radiating renewed self-assurance. Instead of asking directly, she urged him to help her achieve pregnancy.

She added: ‘I returned, being somewhat compulsive-obsessive, on the occasion of my 50th birthday, on that very same day, carrying an envelope filled with cash. I went to him and said, “Here you are! Have my hair tested for nicotine, drugs, alcohol… whatever suits your needs!’

1. In the past year, I’ve shed an impressive 169 pounds (that’s approximately 12 stone 4 pounds). Here’s my husband. Recently, I decided to take a big step and resigned from one of the best shows on TV, Channel 4’s Shameless. It feels great to be at the top of my game. Now, could you do me a favor? (I’ve just given them six weeks notice.)

2. Over the course of a year, I managed to lose an astounding 169 pounds (which is about 12 stone 4 pounds). Meet my husband. You won’t believe this, but I just quit one of the best shows on TV, Channel 4’s Shameless. I’m feeling pretty confident right now. So, could you help me out? (I’ve just given them six weeks notice.)

3. In a span of 12 months, I dropped an incredible 169 pounds (that equals approximately 12 stone 4 pounds). Here’s my husband. Guess what? I recently resigned from one of the top-rated shows on TV, Channel 4’s Shameless. It’s a great feeling to be on top. By the way, could you lend me a hand? (I’ve just given them six weeks notice.)

4. In the past year, I shed an amazing 169 pounds (which is around 12 stone 4 pounds). Here’s my husband. You wouldn’t believe it, but I just quit one of the best shows on TV, Channel 4’s Shameless. I’m feeling quite proud and self-assured. So, could you do me a favor? (I’ve given them six weeks notice.)

5. Over the last year, I lost an incredible 169 pounds (approximately 12 stone 4 pounds). Meet my husband. Can you believe it? I just resigned from one of the best TV shows out there, Channel 4’s Shameless. It feels fantastic to be in control. By the way, could you help me out? (I’ve given them six weeks notice.)

Gazvania asked, ‘Are you turning 50 today?’ To which I replied, ‘Indeed, I am. In just a moment, I’ll be departing from here and heading to my 50th birthday celebration. I have appointments for hair and makeup scheduled at 7, it’s taking place at the Carriage Works in Liverpool, there will be countless guests attending, and I hope you can help me achieve pregnancy!’

‘And by April, I was pregnant.’

She stated: ‘That’s the genuine truth, nothing extra has been added, I’m simply stating the facts as they are.’

She said: ‘It’s all real, there’s no exaggeration here. I’m just telling it like it is – these are the facts!’

In the year 2016, Tina publicly justified her choice to have a child at a later stage in her life on the show “This Morning,” explaining: “I have no second thoughts. I quit smoking, shed approximately 50 kilograms for IVF treatment.

I’ve never been healthier, as my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are at their best. Previously, I was caught up in the vices of alcohol and drug use, but now it’s all about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

When Mick Jagger, Simon Cowell, and Peter Stringfellow welcomed fatherhood later in life, they received well-deserved congratulations. Just consider Ronnie Wood – he embodies the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, always maintaining a youthful spirit.

She commented, “‘With age comes increased confidence and travel experience. However, life is unpredictable – one might pass away at any moment. Similarly, a young person of 20 could meet an untimely end under a passing bus.’

Strive for your best, for the question arises, which is preferable – having two less than perfect parents or one who excels? My grandmother lived to an impressive 102 years, and my mother, at 76, remains as spry as ever.

‘Twenty-year-olds, come to a nightclub with me and see who can dance the longest.’

Besides Flame, Tina is also the mother of an adult daughter named Danielle, conceived during a past relationship. She found herself pregnant at the age of 17.

At the same time, Tina was overcome with tears as she pondered over the unfortunate suicide of her husband, Paul Chase, a year since it occurred.

Previously, the well-known celebrity from Celebrity Big Brother revealed that her military veteran husband had been tragically pushed to take his own life due to long-term struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after serving in the armed forces.

In a sneak peek for her appearance on The Lewis Nicholls Show, Tina expressed her viewpoint that the way we handle war veterans should be reformed, following her earlier disclosure about Paul, aged 42, resorting to alcohol and drugs as a means of dealing with his military service experience.

Breaking down in tears, she said: ‘My husband fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, Northern Ireland.

As an ardent admirer speaking here, I’ve journeyed from the heart of Belize to the shores of Cyprus, where I proudly served in the military and experienced a life brimming with honor and camaraderie. Yet, it breaks my heart to learn that, back home in the UK, 4.8 brave souls who once donned the uniform like me, tragically end their lives each week. This staggering statistic underscores the pressing need for us to support our veterans and ensure they receive the care and respect they deserve.

‘You never hear about it and it needs to change now.’

Shared a photo that depicts an individual who has been in the Witness Protection Program for the past 30 years, a fact I did not disclose through comments. Approximately two million others also viewed this image without offering any additional information.

Indeed, the High Court imposed an eight-month suspended prison sentence on me for two years, along with a substantial fine and expenses. To put it simply, I deeply regret my actions that led to this outcome.

In 2010, Tina wed a man 19 years younger than herself, Paul. They stayed together for nine years until separating in 2019. However, they reconciled by February 2020.
