The star has always been open about their heartbreaking loss.
In a previous interview, Amanda opened up on receiving therapy following the ordeal.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “There is not a day that goes by when I don’t think about Theo, especially when a new school year begins.
“But after we first lost him, Chris and I were diagnosed with PTSD so we went and had some therapy about that, as anyone would.
“Chris was terribly British about it, went once and was like, ‘Right, I’m cured’, whereas I continued, and then went to this amazing clinic run by a woman Called Zita West For Hypnotherapy. ”
Amanda turned to hypnotherapy to help carry her youngest daughter, Hollie, the following year.
