Sinitta : I also terminated a pregnancy


Regrets: Sinitta described how having an abortion has had a dramatic effect on her life and was one of the factors which prevented her having children.

'The person I was with thought I was too young, and didn't think I was ready to start a family or that it would be good for me or my career.' Sinitta will not reveal who the father was. It's the emotional fall-out that still preoccupies her now. 'I'm very spiritual,' she says. 'But I did get religious at one point when I kept losing children, thinking, "Maybe this is a divine punishment because I terminated a teenage pregnancy."
'At the time I did it, there was no counselling, nothing. I can remember thinking, "Actually, that wasn't too bad." I was surprised I could wake up the next day and carry on with my life, and nothing terrible had happened to me. You think you've got away with it, and it comes back to get you 20 or so years later, and you're like, "Wow, so that's the price I'm paying for what I did."
'I realised, of course, that God isn't like that – that I wasn't being punished,' continues Sinitta, who has, since 1993, been a minister at the so-called rock 'n' roll church, Hillsong, in London, where she guides young people. 'Now, I don't even let my head go there, because you regret, regret, regret.
'You have to think, "I made a decision. Keep going. You have to be strong." Maybe my whole life would have been different if I hadn't had the termination. But there's no point going there. There were two paths and my life went down one.'
