Kym Marsh in tears after BBC Strictly dance in memory of late son as Graziano's sweet message picked up by microphone

Courageous former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh was in tears after performing an emotional dance in memory of her late son Archie. Kym went through the devastating loss of baby Archie, with her ex husband Jamie Lomas, in 2009 at 21 weeks of pregnancy.

The actress won huge praise for the harrowing Corrie storyline in 2017 which saw her character Michelle Connor go through the devastating loss of her baby Ruairi at 23 weeks after suffering a similar heartbreak in real life. During Saturday's live Strictly, a tearful Kym dedicated their American Smooth Foxtrot to the Snow Patrol ballad Chasing Cars to Archie, who died shortly after his birth in 2009.

The song was also close to her pro dance partner Graziano Di Prima's heart as he performed it for his twin brother Stefano who died at birth. The pair scored an impressive 31 points out of 40 from the judges.
