Agent Alison Griffin said: "They are utterly devastated.
"Amanda had been closely monitored throughout her pregnancy and it is not yet known what went wrong.
"Both Chris and Amanda would like to thank the midwives and staff at The Queen Mary Maternity unit at West Middlesex Hospital Isleworth for their tremendous support."
Holden - mum to 5-year-old Lexi - only announced the pregnancy last month after admitting to suffering a previous miscarriage last year.
Celebrity condolences have already started appearing on Twitter. Myleene Klass, who is expecting, said: "My sweetheart. I'm so very sorry. Please God, watch over your family and your little angel in heaven. X"
Fellow pregnant star Emma Bunton wrote: "Absolutely devastated for @Amanda_Holden and chris. Thinking of them and sending our prayers at this very sad time."
