Mum-of-four Kym, whose character Michelle Connor is set to exit the soap this Christmas, and ex-husband Jamie Lomas were left devastated when Archie died at 21 weeks in 2009 following a premature birth.
On Instagram, a follower left a comment but soon deleted it.
But it left Kym ‘in tears’ and she reposted the comment, which said: “Stop acting like your nice and kind and sweet and a sweetie Kym your nothing to Corrie and me go to heaven like you [bleep] of a son.”
It wasn’t long before Kym hit back and alerted her fans to the sickening message.

I’m in tears reading this today. Something has to be done about this!
“I’m sorry, I don’t really care what people say about me, people are allowed an opinion, that’s none of my business, but to say such cruel things.
