ISIS bride Shamima Begum says she 'regrets everything'.

The comments from the British schoolgirl, who left Bethnal Green for Syria, came as she made a second plea for a return to the UK.

The 19-year-old said she was 'brainwashed' by the terror group and wants to come back to the UK to 'start my life over again'.

Shamima told The Times she actually knew little about Islam, reports the Mirror.

Ms Begum was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls went to join ISIS in February 2015.

She resurfaced heavily-pregnant in a refugee camp in northern Syria in January and spoke of her desire to return to the UK, as the self-styled caliphate collapsed.

Ms Begum gave birth last month to her son Jarrah at the refugee camp, but the baby boy suffered from ill-health and died two weeks later.

“Since I left Baghuz I really regretted everything I did and I feel like I want to go back to the UK for a second chance to start my life over again,” she told The Times, in her first interview since the death of her son Jarrah .

“I was brainwashed. I came here believing everything that I had been told, while knowing little about the truths of my religion.”

She added: “I do regret having children in the caliphate.”

The 19-year-old had hoped to raise her third child in the UK before the newborn’s death from a lung infection on March 8.

Now her son reportedly lies in an unmarked grave just beyond al-Roj refugee camp where she was moved a week before his death.

She has to be escorted by guards to visit the grave where she reads verses from the Qu’ran, it is reported.

The teenager reportedly said she had thought the caliphate would have been a place to safely raise kids, but now she knows it was not a place for a family.

Ms Begum, whose first two children also died, still hopes she will one day return to the UK.

But she accepts that she may have to make a home in her refugee camp, with the emotional support of women around her, it is reported.

Reflecting back on before she fled the UK to join ISIS aged 15, she reportedly admitted she'd felt depressed, detached and fell under the influence of radicals online.

She said she was easily manipulated at the time.
