Amanda’s touching post comes just weeks after she saw the 14th anniversary of her son’s death.
In February, she took to Instagram and wrote: ‘Our beautiful boy would have been 14 today’.
Amanda has previously spoken out about her experience in a bid to help other parents who may be struggling.
Back in 2011, Amanda was seven months pregnant with Theo when a routine scan revealed his heart had stopped.
The TV star and her husband Chris then made the devastating decision to have a caesarean following Theo’s passing.
Last year, Amanda shared a touching tribute to Theo penning: ‘You would have become a teenager today… #Theo’

In September 2022, Amanda revealed she was made to feel like a ‘game show contestant’ when a doctor told her she was ‘going home empty handed’ after her stillbirth.
The presenter worked with the baby loss charity Aching Arms and raised money for them as part of fundraising for her 3 Peaks Challenge.
Speaking with Ross Sullivan – a user of Aching Arms – on her Heart Breakfast show, Amanda spoke of her ‘awful’ experience and told of her hopes that the charity with help people to ‘avoid’ the kind of language that was used with her.
She said: ‘I will never forget when I went through something, that I would imagine is very similar to your [experience].
‘We lost our baby Theo at 28 weeks, and they very sensitively moved me into another room so I could deliver him without having to hear the lovely babies screaming on a normal ward.
‘Often that’s not thought about, it’s little things like that. I remember the lady afterwards as well when we went for a chat also said ‘I know you’re going home empty handed’ is what she said to me.
‘So I felt like some sort of game show contestant, so it’s all of that language that I know this charity will be helping people to avoid and educate them on how best to deal with something so awful. It’s just awful.’
Amanda also previously discussed Theo’s loss on her radio show while marking Nurses Day, saying: ‘I personally would love to thank the nurses.

‘I know I talk about this a lot. And I never know whether I talk too much about it.
‘But obviously, when we lost our son Theo to a still birth the hospital where I was looked after was unbelievable.
‘Jacki Nash got me through so much, Pippa Nightingale and Natalie Carter.’
