“Fifteen years is a long time to carry his ashes around. They have been everywhere with me – even to South Africa.”
Kym’s dad – who died in January at the age of 78 – was the last person to hold Archie before his untimely death.
She continued: “And when we realised that dad wasn’t going to get any better, I asked him how he’d feel about [being buried with Archie] and he was delighted.
“He said he was happy to go on his journey with Archie, so that’s what we’ve done.
“We’ve done it as a family and it absolutely felt like the right thing to do.”
Two years after Archie’s death Kym gave birth to Polly, now 13, who she shares with her Hollyoaks ex Jamie Lomas.
