Amanda Holden has shared a heartbreaking image of her stillborn son Theo's footprints on what would have been his 10th birthday.

The 49 year old gave birth to Theo on 1 February 2011, but was left devastated when she revealed he had been "born sleeping".

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda took to social media to mark the occasion, sharing the print of his tiny feet with her 1.6million Instagram followers.

Alongside the poignant image, she wrote: "#Theo ..our gorgeous little boy… You would have been 10 years old today…

The last two lines of the song are: "You took my life with you, took my hope with you."

Speaking on Loose Women in October, she said: "It's about grief and it's about loss and it's one of my favourite ever songs.

"When I sang it, it was actually my husband Chris who floored me one afternoon when he said, 'the last two lines of that song really remind me of how I felt when we lost Theo,' and I've been very vocal about how I felt and Chris has been quite typically male and been really strong and gathered round the family and looked after me.

"We talked about it but he never really showed his emotions because he just wanted to be that tower of strength, so when he actually shared that with me, it really knocked me for six, so it's for Theo."
