Kym has previously revealed how the “odds were against” Polly after she was born prematurely.
Polly was born seven weeks premature after a difficult pregnancy, which saw her on bed rest for the last three months of it.
Speaking to OK! Magazine as she remembered the ordeal, she said: “It was very stressful. I needed her to be here safely, especially with what happened with Archie.
“My body wanted to let me down and it was completely out of my hands.”

Their son Archie was born 18 weeks prematurely and sadly passed away just moments after he was born.
Kym also has son David, 22, and daughter Emily, 21, with her ex-partner Dave Cunliffe.
Meanwhile, Jamie, 44, is also a father to son Billy from a previous relationship.
The former couple began dating in July 2008 and they married in September 2012.
Just 13-months later, Kym filed for divorce in October 2013, citing unreasonable behaviour as the cause of the break-up.
Kym has since admitted she has a “very good relationship” with Jamie.
She said: “There’s no bad feelings. We have a very good relationship, Jamie and I. Polly has a good relationship with her dad.”
“We have nothing bad to say about each other.”
