North London couple had undergone multiple IVF treatments before tragedy struck

Ted Jennings’s petition was blocked by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (PA)

A widower has won a landmark ruling to use the last embryo created with his late wife during fertility treatment to have a baby using a surrogate.

Fern-Maria Choya died at the age of 40 after her womb ruptured while carrying twin girls, 18 weeks into the pregnancy.

The expecting mother had undergone multiple IVF cycles since 2013 with her husband, Ted Jennings, 38.
