The 35-year-old captured the hearts of Brits when she opened up about her journey after being diagnosed at the age of just 30.
Her story was that of heartbreak as at one point, within a week, she had tragically miscarried and been diagnosed with incurable metastatic breast cancer.
Nicky even penned her own statement to let her thousands of fans know she had died – including her catchphrase “go get life”.
Her husband Alex has now revealed why the mum didn’t want to freeze her eggs.
The 37-year-old said they agreed they didn’t want their child to grow up without a mother.
It was after Nicky started chemotherapy, when the couple made the call.
Alex told MailOnline: “We discussed it and we both said there was no point going ahead as it would mean any child we had, would grow up without their mother and we didn’t want that.

“We could have frozen Nicky’s eggs, but we came to the same conclusion we wanted to be parents together or not at all.”
He said they had always wanted children, and started thinking about getting the help of IVF four years into their marriage.
After the pair did their first unsuccessful round of IVF, and Nicky found a lump in her breast, she went for tests.
It was then that Nicky and her loved ones were told she had stage four cancer.
She took to social media to share her journey – becoming known by her Instagram handle Nicknacklou.
It was there where Alex shared the tragic news of her death – in her own words.
It read: “If you’re reading this it means I have died, I made it 5 & half years though, not bad for a stage 4 breastie ey.
“And none of this ‘she fought her battle nonsense’, I didn’t lose anything, the cancer eventually took over & that’s okay, we all knew this would happen.
“I don’t think we are ever prepared to hear the words, we think we are indestructible & a magic cure will appear, but the truth is we all live this life day to day (we just knew our days are shorter).
“So please promise me to cherish those around you and give your friends and loved ones the biggest squeezes! GO GRAB LIFE! You never truly know what is coming around the corner – so don’t take anything for granted.”
Emotional Stacey Solomon was one of the many who paid tribute to Nicky in the hours after her death.
