Kym Marsh was overcome with emotion following her latest Strictly Come Dancing routine.
The former Coronation Street actress and her partner Graziano Di Prima danced to Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars on Saturday (November 12) evening.
In the VT before their performance, Kym explained that the song means so much to her and her family because it makes them thing of her son Archie.

However, it all got too much for Kym while talking to presenter Claudia Winkleman.
She apologised to Graziano after the judges pointed out that she gave him the “wrong foot”for a lift.
Graziano told his partner she didn’t need to worry and the pair received a sound 31 out of 40.
Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke awarded the couple 8s and head judge Shirley Balass scored the routine a seven out of 10.
As Kym appeared emotional, fans rushed to their keyboards to send their support.
One fan penned: “My sister had a full term still born baby boy, so I am so emotional to hear Kym Marsh’s story. My heart goes out to anyone who has gone through this.”
Another added: “I loved @msm4rsh performance on #Strictly so soft smooth and elegant. Brilliant song too.”
A third person said: “So beautiful from @msm4rsh I remember when you lost Archie he would be so proud of you #Strictly.”
While a fourth social media user said: “Beautiful routine @msm4rsh @GrazianoDiPrima.”
Kym and her Hollyoaks star ex-husband Jamie Lomas were left heartbroken when their child Archie passed away at just 21 weeks, following a premature birth in February 2009.

The actress paid tribute to their son on Instagram last month to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.
She lit a candle in his honour as she vowed to “always do him proud.”
Kym penned: “Today is babyloss awareness day. Today is a day to get people talking, and to remember all of our babies that were taken too soon. I am a mother who lost her child. I am one in 4.
