NINETIES pop legend Whigfield has revealed the terrible tragedy she went through when her baby died three days after she had given birth.
The singer, now 52, also said she has never talked about her loss until now, despite it happening back in 2000.
Whigfield – real name Sannie Charlotte Carlson – shot to fame with her party tune Saturday Night in 1994.
But today she has opened up about the secret battle she went through when she lost her only child.
Speaking to the Daily Mail she said: "I had a daughter in 2000 but unfortunately, I gave birth in the seventh month, and she didn't survive – she survived only three days.
"So, after that I just didn't feel like having children. I'm 52 so having children is a bit hard.

NOT JUST A ONE HIT WONDER
Despite not having a major hit in the UK since Saturday Night, Whigfield is still making music.
She released Think Of You in 2007 and No Doubt in 2009 but nothing has reached the heady heights of her dance-along smash.
Back in 2013, she re-recorded her Saturday Night with Carlprit.
Yet she has since revealed she things the tune is "a bit naff" when she is encouraged to perform it.
She told Daily Star: "I got sick of it in the mid-90s because I performed it so much, you know when you have to sell a song it’s not the same as [performing it live].
