Kym Marsh, 48, showcases her curves in a figure-hugging black gown as she joins lookalike daughter Emilie Cunliffe, 28 at screening

Kym Marsh looked sensational as she joined lookalike daughter Emilie Cunliffe at a star-studded screening of You’re Cordially Invited at London’s Palladium on Thursday.

The former Corrie actress, 48, was the epitome of chic in a black fishtail gown which hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping curves. 

Kym completed the look with silver accessories as she slipped her feet into strappy heels while also toting her essentials in a matching clutch. 

The mother-of-three, who shares her daughter with ex Dave Cunliffe, accentuated her age-defying features with glam make-up and styled her caramel tresses into loose waves.

Meanwhile singer Emilie, 28,  put on a very leggy display in a skimpy black mini dress which boasted striking white peplum detailing.

Mother and daughter beamed as they posed together on the red carpet alongside the likes of the movie’s stars Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell.

Kym also shares son David, 29, with ex Dave as well as daughter Polly, 13, from her marriage to ex-husband and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, 49, as well as a grandmother to Emilie’s two kids. 

In the film, Reese plays Black Sheep Productions producer Margot, who volunteers to plan the nuptials of her baby sister Neve (Meredith Hagner) and her groom Dixon (Jimmy Tatro).

Will plays avid baker Jim, who’s excited to plan the wedding of his daughter Jenni (Geraldine Viswanathan) and her groom Oliver (Stony Blyden).

Margot and Jim proceed to book their ceremonies at the same resort on a remote Carolina coast island on the same day, June 1.

But no one discovers the clerical error until they try checking into the venue with flummoxed concierge Leslie (Jack McBrayer), who offers no solution but to somehow share it.

Last year during an appearance on BBC Breakfast former Hear’Say star Kym was overcome with emotion when she opened up about the loss of her son Archie.   

Kym and Jamie lost their son in 2009 after he was born just 21 weeks into her pregnancy,  but no official certificate of his loss. 

Now, along with hundreds and thousands of bereaved parents, the star can apply for one as part of an extended Government scheme which launched in February.

Regardless of how much time has pᴀssed, parents who have experienced the loss of a baby in early pregnancy can now have their child’s life officially recognised.

Every year in the UK, an estimated 250,000 pregnancies end through a miscarriage before 24 weeks, a loss experienced by about one in five women. 

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Kym said: ‘These certificates mean so much — it makes your baby not just a statistic’.

She celebrates the birthday of her son Archie every year; her family remember him at Christmas and daughter Polly, born after his death, knows all about her brother. 

‘My Archie was here, I gave birth to him, I held him, we had a funeral’ the actress added, ‘and he mattered — he mattered to all of us.’

Marsh said it was ‘absolutely heartbreaking’ at the time, to not have anything that recognised her son’s existence. But she said the baby loss certificate scheme was a ‘huge win’ for parents wishing to say goodbye to their lost loved ones. 

‘He was our little person and we are so delighted’,’ Marsh added.

According to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), more than 50,000 documents have been issued so far. 

There will now be no time limit on the initiative, with certificates available for any parent who has experienced a loss before 24 weeks, or 28 weeks if the loss occurred before October 1992.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: ‘Losing a pregnancy can be deeply distressing – there is so much love and so many dreams for the future wrapped up in a tiny life. 

‘That’s why it is important for bereaved parents to have the option to officially recognise the existence of their babies and how much they matter.

‘I’m pleased we can now ensure all parents are able to apply for these certificates, no matter how long ago they lost their pregnancies.

‘This Government will always listen to women and families as we overhaul our health system to ensure everyone gets compᴀssionate, safe and personalised care.’
