The last episode of Strictly saw Kym Marsh perform in an emotional dance in memory of her late son.
Speaking on It Takes Two, presenter Janette Manrara asked Strictly Come Dancing star Kym about her tearjerking dance last Saturday, which was dedicated to her late son Archie, who tragically passed away after being born at 21 weeks in 2009.
The former soap actress said: “It was amazing, it was something I will never ever forget. It was a very very important routine. We wanted to send a message, we wanted to get people talking and actually it did just that.”
Her partner Graziano later said: “To find a way to make the perfect choreography, there was something so special for her. It’s also related to me and I think we find a way to deliver it as the best way.”
