Strictly Come Dancing's Kym March paid an emotional tribute to her late son Archie to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week on Sunday (October 16).
The mum-of-three, 46, and her ex-husband Jamie Lomas were heartbroken when their baby boy died in 2009 after being born prematurely at 21 weeks.
Taking to Instagram with a photo of a candle, angel wings and an 'A' print in a frame, Kym wrote: "We are a family who lost a piece of us.
"I know that pain and I also know how important it is to talk, to listen, to share. Tonight at 7pm we will light a candle for all of those precious babies who were taken too soon. They will never be forgotten and in their names we will continue to make change.
"Archie, I promise to always do you proud. In our hearts and our voices your name and memory will live on. We love you always and forever."
The star's post was warmly received by fans, with many telling the Coronation Street actress they had sadly suffered similar experiences.
One follower replied saying the former Hear'Say singer was an 'inspiration" for sharing her story.
Kym was married to Jamie for six years and they share daughter Polly, 11. The actress also has two older children David, 27, and Emilie, 25.
In July, Kym was overcome with emotion on Morning Live when a heartfelt tribute to her late son was unveiled at an art exhibition in Manchester.
The actress visited a support session at Whitworth gallery, where an exhibition entitled Still Parents had been showcasing artwork created by those who had sadly lost a child.
Kym met with members of the group before speaking about her experience as she visited the exhibition's 'memory wall' that featured the names of babies who were sadly no longer alive.
The seasoned star revealed that the installation was "painted with the names of nearly 200 loved and missed babies," before explaining that she would be adding one more.
The segment showed an artist painting 'Archie Jay Lomas' onto the mural, as Kym perched down to get a closer look at the heartfelt tribute.
Speaking about her loss, she shared: "It was the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I was absolutely devastated. It's the most painful thing I've ever felt."
