How Coronation Street Kym Marsh's first grandchild paid a touching tribute to her stillborn son

Kym Marsh's daughter has paid a touching tribute to her mother's stillborn son, Archie.

The Coronation Street star and her ex-husband Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas lost their baby after he was born 18 weeks early.

The 43-year-old, who was born in Whiston, gave birth to Archie Jay Lomas in 2009 but he passed away seconds later.

Earlier this year, Kym's daughter Emilie Cunliffe, 22, welcomed a son with boyfriend Mikey Hoszowskyj.

The couple have now revealed to OK! magazine that they have chosen to call their son, Teddy Archie David Hoszowskyj, after Kym's late son.

Emilie said: “His full name is Teddy Archie David Hoszowskyj. Archie after my late brother, and David after my brother, dad and grandfather.”

She revealed: “When I found out I was having a boy I knew I wanted the name Archie to feature, but I wanted it to be a surprise for Mum."

Kym revealed that she is very moved by the inclusion of the name, saying: “I didn’t think they would, and nor should they have felt they had to.

“As far as I knew, he was going to be called Teddy David and I was chuffed with the name David being in there.

“When I found out his name, I burst into floods of tears.”
