In an interview with This Morning, Corrie star Kym Marsh spoke about her premature baby son’s death in February, and described her grief as “very, very painful”.

Archie Jay was born 18 weeks prematurely and died soon after his birth, which has led Kym to reveal that she’s afraid of becoming pregnant again.

During the interview, Kym said, “You do go home and your body is still doing all the things it would normally do (after giving birth) but you have no baby.

“So it’s very, very hard to try and channel all those feelings somewhere else.

“It’s very difficult… there kind of wasn’t an awful lot of support afterwards, so you just leave with leaflets.

“I obviously haven’t really divulged too much about what happened to me and I don’t intend to do that because that’s something that is still very, very painful for me to talk about.”

Kym added, “I want to know what might happen in the future. If I was to try again, I would want to know that I was being looked after and maybe some steps were being taken to make sure they were monitoring me more closely.”

Kym will host a Tonight documentary about premature births which airs on Monday at 8pm.
