The 43-year-old actress and her ex-husband Jamie Lomas' son Archie tragically died minutes after he was born 18 weeks premature in 2009 so the 'Coronation Street' star was overwhelmed when Emilie Cunliffe - who she had with ex-boyfriend Dave Cunliffe - revealed she and boyfriend Mikey Hoszowskyj had named their son Teddy Archie David.

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

"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.

"After he was born, we bought Mum a keyring with a picture of Teddy in it and engraved it with the message: 'Dear Loli, thank you for everything. Love, Teddy Archie David Hoszowskyj.

"I wanted to say thank you, so Mikey and I cooked her a meal, bought her flowers and then gave her the keyring."

Kym added: "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."

And the former pop star admitted the touching tribute "means the world" to her.

She added in an interview with OK! magazine: "But now Archie lives on in Teddy's name. Having a baby boy in the house with Archie's name as part of his means the world to me."

Emilie added: "Teddy's birth certificate means a lot to Mum too as Archie never had one, nor did he have a death certificate, so there are no official records of his existence."
