Kym stars as Michelle Connor on the ITV soap and last month the character suffered a miscarriage after her waters broke and her baby son, who was just 23 weeks, didn’t survive.

Kym said: “I thought long and hard before agreeing to take on the challenge of this storyline. It is a cause very close to my heart having lost my beautiful Archie.

“I have had to go to some very dark places in my mind while filming these heart-breaking scenes, but my family, friends and colleagues have been incredible. Losing a child is something that never leaves you so to revisit those feelings has been challenging.”
