View Full Version : Michelle Connor-McDonald (Kym Marsh)
Kym Marsh is set to return to 'Coronation Street' next month and has revealed her character is to bed Steve McDonald.
The former Hear’Say star, who plays singer Michelle Connor, is to cause quite a stir on her return to Weatherfield.
In her first few episodes back, Michelle leaps into bed with Steve, played by actor Simon Gregson, whose ex-girlfriend Ronnie was recently arrested for a hit-and-run accident which she tried to frame Steve for.
Michelle will also attract the attentions of drummer Vernon Tomlin whose band she previously performed for.
The percussionist, who is dating Steve’s mum Liz McDonald, becomes obsessed with her after she lands a job as a barmaid in the Rovers Return.
His infatuation is sure to spell trouble between Michelle and the McDonalds.

I didn't realise Michelle was coming back, Kym Marsh was quite good playing her first time round i thought so it will be nice to see her again, not surprised she's bedding Steve though! As it was revealed, he would become more of a womaniser.Vernon becoming obsessed with her sounds really good though so i can't wait for that to happen and as the article mentions, it will stir up a lot of trouble!
I also read that she has a 14 year old son and eventually takes over Shelley's job!
Sounds good and I like the idea of Seve becoming a womaniser. Also glad that Vernon willbe playing around (maybe) as I can't stand Liz:)
Is Vernon that boyfriend of hers that Steve doesn't like?
You can tell I don't watch coronation street an awful lot lol!

Totally agree with you. How anybody can say she was good when she was in it for all of 2 minutes I've no idea. Kym Marsh, oh sorry Kym Ryder as she now wants to be called, never sticks at anything. She has failed at everything she's done so far and I can't see Corrie being any different.
Corrie totally lacks credibility for me when they employ failed reality people.She begged for a job and got it. No experience, no talent and she gets a part in Corrie. The producer said that she is the real thing, a real northern girl. Don't they employ actors then?

Michelle Connor's new job in the bookies
People are never out of work for long in Coronation Street. Tomorrow we'll see Michelle packing her bags and moving out of the Rovers, and also quitting her job because she can't face working with Steve.
The Sun says that she'll soon be in gainful employment again, when she's taken on at the bookies. Apparently there's a practical reason for it, too - Kym Marsh is pregnant, so she'll be able to hide the bump behind the counter. But surely this was also true of the Rovers and could apply to Roy's Rolls, the Kabin, Dev's, the butcher's, the factory etc?
It must be great to walk straight out of one job into another one right acriss the road.
I wish my town was like that

You know they realy need to get a launderette on the street. Think of the jobs opportunities they could create by opening up one.

And a massage parlour :lol:
CORRIE bosses hide pregnant stars’ bumps — by giving them jobs in the bookies.
Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, is already behind the high counter.
Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) will join her when she splits from love rat Steve MacDonald (Simon Gregson) and quits her job at the Rovers.
Street chiefs wanted to avoid the problem they had with Alison King (Carla Connor) during the plot built around Liam’s murder.
Knicker-stitcher Wiki Dankowska, played by pregnant Wanda Opalinska, can only be filmed sitting behind her sewing machine.
I know that the British public love a flutter but in these times I find it hard to believe that a bookie needs so much staff :hmm:
Maybe they keep they haveing jobs all the time so they dont promote unemployment
They should bear in mind the credit crunch and the fact that every day now scores of people are losing their jobs, if they want to stay factual and close to real life as possible.
So where does she go to live? With Carla or Maria?
I hope Michelle doesnt wreck Peter and Leanne's budding romance by going with Peter

Kym Marsh will cause a storm in a D cup when she makes an explosive return.
Kym, 33, has been on compassionate leave after the death of her baby earlier this year.
But she will be back with a bang as her character, Michelle Connor, becomes embroiled in a racy fivesome sex plot.
The actress, who recently had her boobs enhanced to an impressive 34D, will find Michelle has a fight on to keep hold of her fella, Underworld boss Luke Strong.
While she has been away he has got to grips with resident minx Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan, 18).
But that’s not the only bitch battle Michelle faces. She will have to take on Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson, 30) after she discovers Michelle has had a fling with her former lover Peter Barlow.
A show insider said: “The three woman and two men are going to be battling it out for each other’s affections, making it one of the most complicated sex plots we’ve had.
“Kym has had a rough time this year but she’s back where she belongs – in the thick of the action.”

Last month, Coronation Street's Michelle Connor wandered out of Weatherfield on tour with her friend JD and his band.
However, Michelle's (Kym Marsh) forced to return early when the drummer sprains his wrist during a gig. Speaking exclusively to DS at the launch of this year's Inside Soap Awards, she said: "When [Michelle] comes back [she] just really wants to see her family and her new baby, because obviously Maria's given birth... she's very excited about that.
"She's not particularly keen to see either Peter or Luke really because she's gone away and decided that she's really not interested in getting involved. Then Luke starts taking a shine to her, but obviously he's with Rosie, so there might be a few scuffles there!"
She teased: "You never know, you might see her heading back towards The Rovers... She pulls a mean pint does Michelle."

Isnt her and Jamie Lomas trying to crack the US?
I dont what else they can do with the character of Michelle now. She really has no family in the street only Maria and little baby Liam, no job and no boyfriend. She is better off moving to Ireland with Ryan killing tart Rosie before she leaves :lol:
I kinda liked Michelle with Luke its a shame he is leaving

CORRIE sex kitten Kym Marsh has finally got something to smile about... she’s got a new man in her life.
But don’t worry, she hasn’t given her hunky lover Jamie Lomas the elbow.
The new fella will whisk her Weatherfield character Michelle Connor off her feet after bosses agreed to cast a strapping young man for Kym to sink her claws into.
And the actress, 33, can’t wait.
“I’m so excited that Michelle is going to get a new man,” laughs Kym, affectionately grabbing the arm of her real-life boyfriend, Jamie, 29, who can’t seem to keep a smile off his face.
“They are going to cast someone new because, come on, there aren’t exactly many eligible men left on the Street for her to seduce!
“I don’t know what kind of man they have in mind but I really hope he’s fit!
“Michelle hasn’t had the best luck so I would love to see a really attractive, loyal man on her arm.”
When it comes to luck, Kym hasn’t had much of it over the last year herself, following the tragic death of her third child, Archie.
The tot died after his premature birth in February and distraught Kym took extended leave from the show.
But after her self-confessed “mad months” Kym is raring to go again.
She’s got a new body after boosting her boobs to a healthy 34D, the love of a good man and Corrie’s top brass have thrown her in at the deep end with a string of top plots.
And the lass can’t wait to start pulling pints again at the Rovers.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am about being back behind the bar at the Rovers,” she continues. “When you think of Corrie, you think of the Rovers, so to be in the thick of it again is amazing.
“I love filming in there. It’s such a laugh as there’s usually loads of us.
“We can get a bit naughty sometimes but we always get the job done!”
There’s no escaping the tragedy that Kym and Jamie have had to suffer, but it seems something great has come out of their loss, as they admit their relationship has strengthened.
So much so that Jamie, who quit his role as Hollyoaks’ Warren Fox earlier this year, will snub a move to Hollywood to make sure he has Kym by his side.
“Of course I want to try and crack Hollywood,” he explains.
“I am going over there for a couple of weeks to have a few meetings and possibly castings. But these stories about me moving over there are nonsense.
“The truth is I couldn’t stand being away from Kym, so I would never move there permanently. And my son lives in this country too.
“This is my home and my family means the world to me. I would never put a job before them.”
Hannelene
30-07-2009, 20:39
So Hollywood didn't work out then?
I thought that America would take her and they would write her character out of Corrie.....
I hope Michelle sticks around for a long time & is back at the heart of the show where she belongs

Heart of the show? Come on now :(
She was never meant to be a lead in the show
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she is planning a low-key wedding.
The actress explained that she and fiancé Jamie Lomas only want close family and friends to watch them tie the knot later this year.
Speaking in an interview with OK magazine, Marsh admitted that she regrets having a "massive" ceremony when she exchanged vows with first husband Jack Ryder in 2002.
She commented: "This time me and Jamie will just have people who we really want there. I want my dad to give me away. It will be near Manchester."
On what her wedding dress will look like, the 33-year-old said: "I won't go for the big princess style. They're not very me. It won't be white, I can tell you that. All I can say is that Philip Armstrong is making it."
Marsh, best known for her role as Weatherfield barmaid Michelle Connor, is expected to marry Lomas in the summer.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has joked that she will marry a stranger if fiancé Jamie Lomas leaves her standing at the altar.
Speaking to OK magazine, Marsh laughed that she will "nab somebody off the street" if Lomas lets her down on their wedding day later this year.
Marsh, who plays Weatherfield barmaid Michelle Connor, also revealed that she is trying to "tone up some wobbly bits" as she prepares to tie the knot with the former Hollyoaks actor.
She commented: "I want Jamie to look at me and think he's marrying the most beautiful girl in the world."
Discussing invites for the ceremony, the actress confirmed that her former Hear'Say bandmates Myleene Klass and Danny Foster will be on the guest list, but Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan will not.
Marsh and Lomas are planning to marry in Manchester in the summer.
Does anyone care?
She will sell the pictures to some magazine and it will be a big wedding
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has rubbished claims that she is to split from fiancé Jamie Lomas.
The actress admitted that she is feeling angry after reading reports which suggested that her relationship was on the rocks.
Writing in her New column, Marsh commented: "A women's magazine ran a totally untrue story last week, saying I was about to dump Jamie.
"To put the record straight, Jamie and I love each other and are getting married this year for crying out loud! These sorts of stories are so pathetic - it makes me mad."
The couple, who started dating in June 2008, became engaged last Christmas.
Marsh, best known for her role as Weatherfield barmaid Michelle Connor, recently confirmed that she is planning a small wedding and will tie the knot with Lomas in the summer.
Kym Marsh has confessed that she is feeling "upset" over rumours surrounding her relationship with fiancé Jamie Lomas.
The Coronation Street actress set tongues wagging last week by announcing that she and Lomas had put their wedding plans on hold.
Although the couple have blamed work commitments for the postponement, their decision led to speculation that their romance had hit the rocks.
Writing in her New column, Marsh insisted: "Despite reports suggesting otherwise, Jamie and I are not separating. Our wedding is going ahead, but it won't be at the end of this year as originally planned.
"We have a lot going on in our lives. Apart from having three children between us, we have demanding lifestyles and had fallen behind with planning the big day. It felt like it was rush, rush, rush.
"People postpone their weddings every day, but because we're in the public eye, it's been blown out of all proportion. It has really upset me. I'm very much looking forward to becoming Mrs Lomas."
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has hit out at the latest rumours surrounding her relationship with Jamie Lomas.
Writing in her New magazine column, the actress insisted that there is no truth in suggestions that Lomas has upset her by making plans for a US career.
Marsh - who plays Weatherfield's Michelle Connor - explained: "A magazine reported last week that my relationship with Jamie is under pressure because he's going to stay in Los Angeles until he's made it in the US.
"It also said that if the pilot show he's making goes well, he might also go in January for six weeks. Firstly, as I've already said, Jamie is not doing a pilot show in America and, secondly, he has no plans to extend his stay.
"I'm tired of having to correct this particular magazine's sloppy journalism. Their stories about Jamie and me are always incorrect and are sometimes quite nasty."
Last month, Marsh admitted that she was "really upset" over false claims that she had separated from Lomas.
THE joy of finding she was pregnant was tinged with sadness for Coronation Street beauty Kym Marsh.
The mum-of-two was thrilled to be expecting again. But the news brought back how she lost her newborn son Archie nearly 18 months ago.
Now Kym and her fiance, Hollyoaks heartthrob Jamie Lomas, are simply taking each day of the pregnancy one step at a time.
She said: It is a sensitive subject for us. Jamie and I are so, so happy. But we know from experience there's still a long way to go.
Weve had lots of lovely messages from people who wanted to send us their best wishes. That has really meant a lot to both of us.
Brilliant
Kym, 34, beams with pride when she talks of her children David, 15, and Emily, 13, from a previous relationship. She said: My children are the centre of my life. I definitely a protective mum, over-protective probably, but they are my world.
I feel very lucky to have two beautiful children when there are so many women out there who don't have that luxury. You have to thank God for what you've got.
I became much more aware of that after I lost Archie.
The tiny child died in February last year just seconds after being born 18 weeks prematurely.
Kym and Jamie, 30, who has a four-year-old son with former girlfriend Haley Lever, struggled to cope with their heartbreak and it led to a split.
But their painful separation was short and they are now happily engaged. Kym said: Jamie is a brilliant dad and it is good he has experience of being a parent.
Were a proper family unit and David and Emily are very close to him, just as Im close to his son Billy, who stays with us three times a week.
We don't know when well get married. We still haven't decided.
But being engaged is enough for the time being so were leaving it on the back burner for now.
When we first met there were adjustments to be made because Jamie wasn't used to coping with two teenagers and I wasn't used to having a two-year-old around. But I think we've got the balance right now.
The baby is due in April and Kym is still unsure how Coronation Street bosses will deal with it.
She said: I don't know when I'm going to stop filming or how the show will reflect me being pregnant. We haven't discussed it yet.
But I don't think they'll write a pregnancy into the script. That kind of thing happens very rarely. Its more likely they'll use a lot of baggy jumpers and standing behind tables.
As Corrie temptress Michelle Connor, Kym has delighted viewers with her raunchy antics, especially in a scene where she dropped her towel in front of builder Jake Harman.
She said: It does make me giggle when I hear people have asked for Michelle to drop her towel again.
For months after I did that scene that was all people would talk to me about. Everywhere I went, strangers would stop me in the street to talk about it. Because I wasn't actually naked I felt that I had to stop and explain to people that I didn't actually get my kit off.
That was definitely the most risque thing I've done. At Corrie we do have naughty bits because it is important. But we also need to keep it traditional because we don't have the Hollyoaks demographic.
The viewers don't like it if you change things too much. So the risque stuff is much more Jamie's thing.
I don't put myself forward for the sexiest female kind of bracket but of course it is nice when it happens. Nice, but also quite weird.
It is clear Kym enjoys her work on the ITV1 soap but the child she lost is never far from her mind.
She said: I think Archie's death is something Ill always find difficult.
There are times when I still feel low about it but I just have to carry on because my children need me to be there for them.
In the beginning they were my main reason for carrying on. I couldn't fall apart because they needed me.
Its not something that is ever going to leave me and there wont be a day that goes by that I don't wish Archie was here. I do and I always will.
Its really scary how premature birth is the biggest cause of infant death in the country and so many other women have been through what I went through.
Yet nobody knows what causes it. So how is anybody ever going to stop it happening?
That is why I think it is so important for people to donate to charities like Bliss, who are working to fund research into premature births.
Lancashire lass Kym, who grew up in Wigan and found fame in 2001 as a member of HearSay, is writing her autobiography, which is almost like therapy.
She said: Its been great remembering the funny things from my childhood but Ive had some really difficult times and reliving them has been hard. I've had to remember bullying, my brush with bulimia and what happened with Archie.
Its been strange being that open. Going through the hard parts has been horrible but at the end of the day you feel better for talking about it.
Kym, married for seven years from 2002 to actor Jack Ryder, added: Yes its fair to say Ive had a lot of ups and downs in my life but I do think I am a bit of a fighter.
The star, crowned Celebrity Mum of the Year 2009 by parenting healthcare charity Bounty, has teamed up with Childnet International to launch a guide designed to help parents and children safe while online.
The guide is called Music, Film, TV and the Internet and is free from childnet.com/downloading.
Kym said: I wanted to get involved because my children use the internet for talking on MSN and downloading music or videos. I am very protective of my kids like most mums.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has admitted that she is unsure how her pregnancy will affect filming of the show.
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, told The People that it was unlikely her pregnancy would be written into her character's storyline and that her bump will instead have to be disguised in scenes.
She said: "I don't know when I'm going to stop filming or how the show will reflect me being pregnant. We haven't discussed it yet.
"But I don't think they'll write a pregnancy into the script. That kind of thing happens very rarely. It's more likely they'll use a lot of baggy jumpers and standing behind tables."
Marsh, who is engaged to Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, added: "My children are the centre of my life. I'm definitely a protective mum - overprotective probably - but they are my world."
Kym Marsh has clarified a remark she made about when she and Jamie Lomas will tie the knot.
Writing in her New magazine column, the Coronation Street actress explained that she had been asked the question by a journalist during press for the soap's 50th anniversary.
She continued: "I made light of it, saying, 'I only got divorced last year', but that’s definitely not to say we won’t tie the knot. We just want to do it in our own time and not feel pressured into it.
"Who knows, we might decide to go off and get married next week!"
Marsh also revealed that her pregnancy was behind her absence from last week's tram crash episodes and the live broadcast.
Kym Marsh has hit out at a message she received on Twitter, which asked if she had had a miscarriage.
The Coronation Street actress announced that she was pregnant in October. Marsh and her partner Jamie Lomas lost their prematurely-born baby son Archie in 2009.
She retweeted the received message which read: "hey Kym i heard rumours u lost the baby (sic)", adding: "Possibly the sickest tweet I've ever had or seen in my life!"
The 34-year-old - Michelle Connor in the Manchester serial - told another follower that the message had "shook me up a bit after everything".
She added: "Thank you to everyone for the support over that tweet."

If we did that it would be one of the biggest threads on the boards as that woman has an opinion on everything...
CORRIE bosses have been forced into a string of last-minute rewrites after Kym Marsh went on early maternity leave.
Kym's character Michelle Connor was due to have a steamy affair with wealthy business associate Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel).
But the shake-up will instead see Underworld manager Michelle jet off to Ireland to spend time with her family.
And her affair plotline goes to Samia Smith's character Maria Connor - as bosses had no time for a full rewrite.
Kym, 34, has gone on maternity leave five months early in a bid to avoid pregnancy complications.
She was given special leave after she and hubby Jamie Lomas lost their son Archie when he was born 18 weeks premature in February 2009.
The plot shake-up will see a furious Carla Connor (Alison King) poach Maria from Audrey's hair salon to be her personal assistant.
To make the line-up change at Underworld complete, Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) will be promoted to supervisor and Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) will replace departing Janice Battersby (Vicky Entwistle).
A Corrie insider said: "It's a massive shake-up and it opens up lots of ideas for exciting new plots."
The new line-up will take place in episodes to be screened in March.

If we did that it would be one of the biggest threads on the boards as that woman has an opinion on everything...
I'm deeply surprised she hasn't her own forum or tv chat show by now.
Kym Marsh has revealed that her pregnancy has been difficult due to fears that she would lose her baby girl.
The Coronation Street actress and her fiancé Jamie Lomas lost their son Archie in 2009 after he was born premature at 21 weeks.
Marsh, who is now 26 weeks into her pregnancy, told Now: "We were [so scared we'd lose our baby]. It's been really difficult.
"I have been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, which is when your cervix is too weak to stay closed during pregnancy due to the extra weight of the baby. It can cause premature birth or late miscarriage.
"This time around I was a high-risk patient and I've been monitored closely."
The 34-year-old, who had been stitched at 17 weeks to prevent her cervix from opening, was forced to take early maternity leave from the ITV soap.
Marsh added: "She's been a right little wriggler since 17 weeks. And she's a Marsh-Lomas. I know she's a little fighter and I know she'll be causing us havoc before long!"

Kym Marsh is being kept in hospital while doctors monitor her pregnancy.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - whose son Archie died in February 2009 after he was born 18 weeks early - has been in hospital for almost a week after medics reportedly prescribed a steroid treatment that allows babies' lungs to develop fully while in the womb, but is hoping to be allowed home soon.
Kym - who is engaged to 'Hollyoaks' star Jamie Lomas - is currently 27 weeks pregnant with a daughter and show bosses have given her early maternity leave in order to focus on her health.
The 34-year-old star - who has been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, which can cause premature birth or late miscarriage - also has two children, David, 15, and 13-year-old Emily from a previous relationship but recently revealed this will be her last pregnancy.
She said: "I can definitely say my childbearing days are over. I couldn't go through this again, it's too heartbreaking. We don't know the exact problems we had with Archie. I hate that term late miscarriage as I gave birth to Archie when he was a fully formed human being.
"This pregnancy has been really difficult, a nightmare in fact. We've been on eggshells. But it's lovely when we see her on the scan and when I feel her wriggling."

Yeah, good luck Kym.
Pregnant Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has assured fans that all is well following her recent stint in hospital.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Marsh was being monitored by doctors to prevent any complications with her pregnancy.
The actress - who is expecting a baby girl - returned home late on Monday after being released following medical treatment.
Writing on Twitter today, Marsh told her followers: "Hi guys! Just to say it is true I did spend a bit of time in hospital recently, but me and baby are both doing fine. Thanks for all your support xx."
The soap star recently confirmed that her pregnancy has been problematic as she has been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix. She and fiancé Jamie Lomas previously lost their son Archie in 2009 after he was born 18 weeks early.
Marsh announced her return to Twitter earlier this week after deleting her original account following a backlash from Waterloo Road fans.

Kym Marsh has said that she would never be attacked at Coronation Street like Sherrie Hewson was.
Hewson recently revealed details of an attack at the hands of an unnamed but "well-known" co-star when her autobiography was serialised by a national newspaper.
Writing in New magazine, Marsh - Michelle Connor in the ITV soap - claimed that she scares her co-stars more than they scare her.
"I read last week that Sherrie Hewson was attacked by a co-star during her time on Corrie," she wrote. "I don't know Sherrie, but it's a frightening thing to happen to anybody in any job.
"Mind you, no one would dare do that to me - I scare them more than they scare me!"
She explained: "I was doing a night shoot once and a gang of drunken lads were shouting racist comments at a colleague through the gates. I barged over and put them in their place.

Kym Marsh has denied reports that she will give birth in two weeks time.
Earlier today, a tabloid report claimed that the Coronation Street star will have her baby in a fortnight at 32 weeks pregnant - five weeks short of the full term.
However, the actress has since took to Twitter to rubbish the claim. A fan messaged her saying: "According to The Mirror your having your little girl in the next 2 weeks, fingers crossed all goes smoothly for you (sic)."
Marsh replied: "It's not true hub but thanks anyway x."
Marsh recently admitted that her pregnancy has left her "exhausted".

Would it be so difficult to leave this poor woman alone!? She's obviously having a tough pregnancy, and only frequently features in magazines because someone offered her money for it. There are very few that would refuse...
Kym Marsh and Jamie Lomas have become parents to a baby girl.
A report today had suggested that the Coronation Street actress had admitted herself to Manchester Royal Infirmary on Tuesday night after going into early labour.
It has now been announced that Marsh and her fiancé welcomed their daughter yesterday (Wednesday) evening.
"Jamie and Kym are delighted to announce that they are the proud parents of a baby girl Polly Lomas," a spokesperson from the ITV1 soap confirmed. "Mum and baby are doing well."
The new arrival, who weighed 4lb 1oz, is a sister to Marsh's two children David and Emily and Lomas's son Billy.
The 34-year-old, who took early maternity leave from the ITV1 soap, previously revealed that she had been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix which can lead to a premature birth.
The couple lost their son Archie in 2009 after he was born 18 weeks early.
Congratulations to them

Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas has thanked fans for their support following the news that he and fiancée Kym Marsh have welcomed the arrival of a baby girl.
Marsh, who plays Coronation Street's Michelle Connor, gave birth to 4lb 1oz Polly Lomas yesterday evening after going into labour early.
The actress had reportedly admitted herself into the Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital on Tuesday night.
Responding to messages of congratulations on Twitter today, Lomas commented: "Thank you all so much for your lovely messages, she is an absolute belter and is doing really well.
"Kym, really proud of you. Go on Polly Lomas."
Lomas already has a son named Billy from a previous relationship, while Marsh, who took early maternity leave from Corrie earlier this year, is mum to 15-year-old David and 13-year-old Emily.
The couple lost their first child together, Archie, in 2009 after he was born 18 weeks premature.

Kym Marsh has confirmed that she and Keith Duffy are due to return to Coronation Street in September.
The actress took early maternity leave, in a storyline which saw her character Michelle Connor join Duffy's Ciaran McCarthy on a cruise.
Earlier this month, the Boyzone star - nominated for 'Sexiest Male' at the British Soap Awards - revealed that he is returning to filming on September 15.
"I'm due to return to work on Corrie around September and so is Keith Duffy, who plays Ciaran McCarthy," Marsh wrote in her New magazine column. "
Commenting on the pair's joint return to the Street, she added: "It makes sense for Ciaran and Michelle to return together as viewers like them as a couple."
Marsh gave birth to her baby daughter Polly Lomas late last month.
DS
This news is like the Parson's Egg.
Good that Keith Duffy is returning
Bad that the useless Ms Marsh is returning.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she will marry boyfriend Jamie Lomas next year.
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, admitted that she has been contemplating marriage for a while and will be organising a ceremony for 2012.
Speaking at the British Soap Awards, she told The People: "We've been thinking of marriage now, we will do it next year because we'd like to do it really soon."
Hollyoaks actor Lomas added: "We were thinking about it before, then Kym got pregnant."
The couple welcomed new daughter Polly in March. Marsh said: "This is our first night away since we had her. My mum has her and I've driven her mad ringing up to check, I've rung about 15 times."
Marsh recently confirmed that she will return to Coronation Street in September following maternity leave.
Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has reassured fans she has no plans to leave anytime soon.
The 34-year-old actress is currently on maternity leave after giving birth to her third child Polly, her daughter with Hollyoaks hunk Jamie Lomas, and her barmaid character, Michelle Connor, is enjoying a cruise with boyfriend Ciaran. But Kym can't imagine leaving the cobbles because working on the soap gives her more stability than any other job.
She wrote in her New! magazine column: "I was quite shocked to hear that Sacha Parkinson, who plays Sian Powers, is leaving Corrie, but she's only young and she has her whole career ahead of her.
"Soaps are great for people like me who are settled because they're a stable place to be, but if she wants to try her hand at other things, now's the time to do it."
Meanwhile, Kym revealed that looking after Polly, who was born five weeks premature in March, is hard work.
She said: "Polly's ten weeks old now and she had her first injections last week and it was terrible. She was really out of sorts and cried the whole day. She eventually exhausted herself and fell asleep for five hours solid, which is unheard of.
"She usually feeds every two hours and if you put anything near her mouth, she wants to attack it!"

:( Not good news as far as I am concerned :angry:
She added: "My mum and dad stayed overnight last Sunday to give Jamie and me a good night's sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed, but my mum certainly didn't!"

Okay this woman is doing my head in. for anyone who's a parent how the f**k did she have a good night's sleep when her child was crying. My daughter is going to be 13 years old this year and I still wake up when I hear her going to the toilet. Somethings never leave you. You can't settle if your child is not settled fact of life. But what disturbs me more is that she's not planning to leave corrie soon. Come on writers get rid of her I can't stand the thought of her being on the cobbles as long as Ken, Rita or Emily.
CORRIE star Kym Marsh is fuming after vile "fans" bullied her for choosing not to breast-feed premature baby Polly.
They claimed she cared more about protecting her surgically-enhanced bust than looking after her five-weeks-early little girl.
But Kym - Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap - hit back at her critics, calling one an "ignorant pillock".
Polly was born in March, two years after Kym had a still-born son.
One user called Jonenrique1 tweeted: "How about you not breast-feeding your child? You chose vanity over your children... sad." Kym, 35, hit back with: "Shut up you absolute idiot. You know nothing so go be bitter elsewhere!"
Another, Charlotte Gribben, joined in by saying: "Breast is best & mothers who don't do it just lazy." Lulupinkinstein landed another blow, claiming Kym "didn't want to spoil her boob job".
But the star hit back, saying she wanted to breast-feed but was advised not to in order to make Polly grow faster.
She told critics: "I stayed in bed for three months to bring my baby into this world after losing one so do not dare EVER criticise me." Kym went on to call one accuser "a nasty excuse for a human being", adding: "Let's hope you never go through what I did, ignorant pillock."
Shocked by the row, she then told her 47,812 followers: "Done everything in my power to get my little girl here. Some nasty pieces of work, honestly."
Kym, engaged to Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas, said yesterday that she gave up breast-feeding in Polly's best interests. She told OK! mag: "I tried but I wasn't making enough milk."
The actress - mum to David, 15, and Emily, 13, from a former relationship - added: "I've suffered with the baby blues. The last time I was looking after a newborn was 13 years ago so to suddenly have this tiny baby, who isn't the easiest, is quite a lot to get used to. It's a shock."

Who cares if she breast feeds or feeds her baby fizzy juice if she isn't given the attention she might go away from the public altogether.
Ms Marsh needs the attention though as much as she needs oxygen to live. Rather than her wanting Jamie to join Corrie, she could join Hollyoaks (I don't watch it :p )
Kym Marsh has admitted that she is excited to see what storylines await Michelle Collins on Coronation Street. Guess somebody has to be :p
Collins made her on-screen debut as new Rovers Return manager Stella Price last week. Writing in her new magazine column, Marsh recalled meeting the ex-EastEnders star at the British Soap Awards last month.
"Michelle Collins made her Corrie debut as the Rovers' new manager Stella last week and I'm dying to see what's in store for her character," she wrote. "I met her at The British Soap Awards last month and she was very nice."
Antony Cotton and Charlie Condou were among Collins's co-stars who denied claims that cast members have complained about the northern accent the actress has put on for her new role. Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor, explained that she knows how difficult it is to maintain a different accent while acting.
"She said she's got a dialect coach to help her perfect her northern accent," she added. "I had lessons to learn a New York accent when I appeared in the stage show Saturday Night Fever, so I know how tough it is keeping it up all the time!"
Marsh, who will return to the ITV1 soap in September, previously described Collins's casting as "great".
Kym marsh has an opinion on Michelle Collins.. well there is a first from Kym!! she never comments on anything
I know you have all been waiting for this :p
For the first time Kym will tell the story of her rise to fame -- from growing up on an estate in Wigan and struggling as a young single mother with two children, to her big break in Hear'Say and finally becoming a much-loved barmaid Michelle Connor on the nation's favourite soap, Coronation Street.In this candid and compelling memoir Kym reveals all about the highs and lows, the loves and losses, and how she finally turned her life around to become one of Britain's favourite celebrities.:hmm:

Kym Marsh has questioned Samantha Womack's absence from the 'Best Actress' category at the British Soap Awards.
Womack, who plays Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders, did not appear on the shortlist of nominees. The eventual winner was her co-star Jessie Wallace for her portrayal of Queen Vic landlady Kat Moon.
Coronation Street star Marsh sympathised with Womack over her recent admission that she was leaving the BBC soap after being left exhausted by her alter ego's storylines.
"I can relate to that," she wrote in her latest new magazine column. "Although they're the sort of plots I love, it is hard going. It must be especially hard for Sam as she's had one harrowing storyline after another."
She continued: "She's a fantastic actress and although Jessie Wallace was a deserved winner of the 'Best Actress' award at The British Soap Awards, I think it was an oversight that Sam wasn't even nominated."
Marsh, who is currently on maternity leave, is due to return to her role as Weatherfield's Michelle Connor in September. :(

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has dismissed rumours of a ratings crisis at the soap, describing recent press reports as "incorrect".
The star also spoke up for actress Michelle Collins, who has come under fire for her portrayal as Stella Price on the soap, saying that it is "unfair to blame" her.
"Not only is it unfair to blame Michelle Collins for a fall in Corrie's viewing figures, it's also incorrect," she wrote in her New! magazine column.
"As our producer Phil Collinson explained last week, a newspaper used an episode that was up against a Wimbledon match to illustrate a drop in figures. Big sporting events always affect viewing figures."
Marsh also criticised former Coronation Street actor Johnny Briggs, who recently said that he found the soap had lost its fun and humour.
"I thought that former cast-member Johnny Briggs's comments that there is no humour in Corrie were harsh, too - particularly as he admits he doesn't watch the show!"
William Roache also recently defended producer Phil Collinson over the show's performance.
Executive producer Kieran Roberts described reports that the loss of viewers related to the soap's increase of gay characters as "a storm in a teacup".
Kym Marsh had recently asked for Coronation Street fans to give Michelle Collins a chance to settle into her new role.

Kym Marsh has admitted that she is excited to discover what romantic drama awaits her Coronation Street character.
The actress will return to the ITV1 soap as Michelle Connor in the autumn. Marsh, who has been on maternity leave, will make her comeback alongside co-star Keith Duffy (Ciaran McCarthy).
However, Duffy has confirmed that he won't be returning to the Manchester serial for long, :cheer::cheer::cheer: leaving fans to speculate on what will become of Michelle and Ciaran's relationship.
Commenting on her co-star's decision, Marsh told New magazine: "He needs to be at home in Dublin to support his daughter Mia - who has autism - when she makes the transition to secondary school.
"I'm not sure what that means for Michelle and Ciaran's relationship because I haven't seen any storylines, but if they do break up it will be interesting to see if he breaks her heart or she breaks his."
Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson recently told Digital Spy that the couple will plan to make a "flying visit" to the Street, but the "story" will see their plans change.
He said: "Michelle will go back into the factory and will be quite instrumental in helping Carla to run Underworld again, so that's where Michelle's heading back to."
Meanwhile, Marsh also confessed that she would like a waxwork like co-stars William Roache and Anne Kirkbride. I've news for you KYM. Waxworks can act ten times better than you
"I'd definitely have one done if I was asked because it's such an honour," she said. "But I'm not sure anyone would want one unless it was to stick a wick in the top!" and lots of pins in it as well
Kym Marsh has said that Ofcom was correct in clearing EastEnders over its baby swap storyline.
The broadcasting regulator confirmed last week that it received a total of 1,044 complaints from viewers over the plot, which saw Ronnie Branning lose her newborn son James to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), before swapping him with Kat Moon's healthy child Tommy.
"Last week, EastEnders was cleared of wrongdoing by Ofcom, the media regulator, over its baby swap storyline, and I think that's the right decision," the Coronation Street actress wrote in her latest New magazine column.
"It's just a storyline, like any other. I understand why people got upset about it, but no-one meant to upset anybody. Soaps are supposed to portray real life to a certain extent, but it's meant to be high drama for entertainment purposes.
"I mean, how many murders can you have in one square? There's a nod to real life but, for the most part, soaps help take people out of the real world."
Marsh also revealed that she will soon front a new documentary about teen mothers on Channel 5.
"I'm really pleased to have been asked to make a documentary about teen mums for Channel 5. Having been one myself, they thought I was perfect for the job,":sick::sick: she explained. (Is their no limit to this woman's modesty)
"Hopefully, it will dispel some of the misconceptions about teenage mothers. They get a bad press - people think they only do it to live off benefits. But there are lots of young women who genuinely want to have children, so it's a shame they all get tarred with the same brush. With me, it was just one of those things that happened.
"Filming begins later this month, before I go back to Corrie. I don't think I could juggle them both!"
The actress will return to Coronation Street as Michelle Connor in the autumn after her maternity leave. She recently said that she was excited about possible romantic storylines for her character.:crying::crying::crying:
MORE BS From Ms Marsh
Kym Marsh has said that the press exaggerate how much the cast of Coronation Street get paid.
The actress will return to her role as Michelle Connor in the autumn. Writing in her New magazine column, Marsh said that she was "delighted" to hear her co-star Michelle Keegan had signed a new contract.
Reports claimed that Keegan had agreed a new year-long deal which would see her £90,000 salary increased to six figures.
"I'm delighted that my friend Michelle Keegan has signed another year-long contract at Corrie, but the reports of a six-figure sum made me smile," Marsh said. "The press always exaggerate our salaries."
The 35-year-old added: "While Corrie is very generous, we're certainly not on footballers' wages."
Meanwhile, Marsh and fiancé Jamie Lomas will team up to take part in an upcoming episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
"We'll do our best to raise as much as possible, but general knowledge isn't my strong point," she admitted. "However, Jamie has been swotting up and has even downloaded the app to his phone."
Coronation Street's Michelle Connor and Ciaran McCarthy will begin making plans for a huge wedding when they return to Weatherfield, a report has claimed.
The happy couple, played by Kym Marsh and Keith Duffy, will soon be back on the cobbles with the news that they are tying the knot, according to the Sunday Mirror.
"Michelle and Ciaran are two of our most popular characters," a show source told the newspaper. "They will return from their cruise and tell the street they are planning a huge wedding.
"But this is Corrie and the course of true love never runs smooth, so anything could happen before they say 'I do'."
Marsh has been on maternity leave from Coronation Street in recent months and gave birth to a baby girl named Polly in March. Meanwhile, Duffy took time out from the soap to go on tour with Boyzone.
However, a happy ending may not be on the cards for Michelle and Ciaran as Duffy recently confirmed that his next stint on the programme will be shorter than expected.
He said in a TV interview: "This return to Corrie is not going to be as long as I would have hoped, because I'm kind of needed in Dublin this year.
"[My son] Jay has a big exam year, and my little girl Mia, who has autism, it's her last year in [primary] school and the transition to secondary school is going to be a lot of work for everybody. I'm kind of needed there to try and help make that happen."
Marsh also recently speculated that there could be heartbreak ahead for the pair.
"I'm not sure what [Keith's decision] means for Michelle and Ciaran's relationship because I haven't seen any storylines, but if they do break up it will be interesting to see if he breaks her heart or she breaks his," she said earlier this month.
Marsh and Duffy are expected to film their Coronation Street comeback scenes within the next few weeks.

Both did solo spots. Emily sang five numbers including Adele’s Chasing Pavements. Mum-of-three Kym won wild *applause for Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

So now she's saying her daughter is so talented,will she be trying to get her a role on Corrie as well.
Kym Marsh has revealed her horror at EastEnders star Jessie Wallace's recent heartbreak.
The Coronation Street actress, whose fellow soap star Wallace recently cancelled her wedding to Vince Morse after discovering raunchy messages sent from him to his ex-partner, said that she believes that Wallace will bounce back from the scandal.
Marsh said in her New magazine column: "I couldn't believe my eyes when I read about Jessie Wallace cancelling her wedding at the very last minute. I actually felt sick for her when I saw the private photo that her fiancé, Vince Morse, sent to his ex splashed across the papers. What was he thinking?
"Jessie's been so unlucky in love and finally seemed to have found happiness with Vince - then he goes and does that, the snake! That picture was for his eyes only and although some people might think she was foolish taking it, when you're in love, you don't think your partner's going to betray you like that. I would trust [partner] Jamie [Lomas] with anything, so she must have been absolutely horrified."
Marsh continued: "Moving on, I know Jessie will bounce back from this. She's made of strong stuff and, having met her a few times over the years, I've got a lot of time for her. Good on her for kicking him out, too. If he'd done that to me, he'd have lost two vital parts of his body by now!"
Recent reports have implied that Wallace is considering taking Morse back, but his ex-wife Virginia Lewis has urged the EastEnders actress to dump him, describing him as a "serial cheat who's incapable of being faithful".

The latest ravings of Kym Marsh
© Rex Features / Jonothan Hordle
Kym Marsh has defended her Coronation Street co-star Brooke Vincent after she was revealed to be working in a local pub last week.
Vincent allegedly claimed to be "glad of the extra cash" from working at the White Room in Whitefield. She was reportedly paid £6.08 an hour for a seven-hour shift at the family-run bar and restaurant.
She later clarified on Twitter: "1. My mate was ill so I covered for her!. 2.I didn't used to work there at all I help out every now&then (sic)."
Marsh has now dismissed claims that Vincent worked at the bar because she had spent too much money on recent holidays.
"A lot was made about my Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent working in a bar in Manchester last week," Marsh said in her latest New column. "Some reports even speculated that she was doing it because she'd been on a few holidays and was skint! It amazes me that people jump to conclusions just from a picture.
"As Brooke explained, she was just helping out a friend. Aside from that, Brooke has always done part-time jobs as she enjoys doing different things - not because she's desperate for cash!"
Marsh recently revealed that she felt "sick" upon hearing about fellow soap star Jessie Wallace's recent heartbreak.
seriously.. is this any of her business and why does she feel the need to comment on everything.. She reminds me of one to those friends you have on facebook that updates their status every 5 seconds cause they have to make a comment or they will die (well not die but maybe someone would ignore them for 5 seconds)

Kym Marsh has praised Andrew Lancel for his portrayal of Coronation Street's Frank Foster.
The businessman raped his fiancée Carla Connor (Alison King) on the eve of their wedding, after she attempted to call off their big day.

"Corrie's handling of the controversial rape storyline was commendable last week," Marsh wrote in her New magazine column. "Alison King, who plays Carla Connor, worked extremely hard to do it justice for all those people who've gone through it for real.
"And let's not forget Andrew Lancel, who plays Frank Foster. He has to play a rapist and the way he portrayed it was incredible - the viewers despise him!"
Marsh added: "It was exceptionally well written - the guy has just raped his fiancée then flippantly walks back into the flat with a bottle of wine and a takeaway. It gave me a chill down my spine!"
The actress, Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, returned to filming earlier this month, ahead of her on-screen comeback.

Kym Marsh has praised Andrew Lancel for his portrayal of Coronation Street's Frank Foster.
Phew! That's a relief! I was wondering whether Andrew Lancel was playing the part well. I couldn't decide for myself, but now I know he's doing a good job.
What about Alison King? I need Kym's opinion to make my mind up for me.....
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has reportedly told producers that she'd like her character to have a baby.
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, recently returned to work following the birth of daughter Polly in March.
Bosses had planned for Michelle to have a baby in 2010, but scrapped the storyline after the death of Marsh's son Archie, who was born 18 weeks early.
Viewers will now see Michelle and boyfriend Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) discuss starting a family when they return to Weatherfield next month, according to the Daily Star Sunday.
She tells him: "I'm sorry Ciaran but I'm not getting any younger and my body clock's ticking. I want more babies and I want them now. And if you don't want the same thing then maybe it's time we went our separate ways." Guess this is where they will fall out before he leaves
Duffy will leave Coronation Street at Christmas in a "very dramatic" exit storyline.

Duffy will leave Coronation Street at Christmas in a "very dramatic" exit storyline.
Is it an explosive one that will rock the cobbles though?

Phew! That's a relief! I was wondering whether Andrew Lancel was playing the part well. I couldn't decide for myself, but now I know he's doing a good job.
What about Alison King? I need Kym's opinion to make my mind up for me.....
Thanks for that! :rotfl:
It was revealed last week that her character's boyfriend will leave Weatherfield as their plans for a festive wedding end in disaster.
But Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh certainly looked ready for a marriage today as she strolled around the set in a gorgeous white dress.
The short number, with spaghetti straps and netting underneath to puff the skirt out, was far from traditional as it showed off her toned legs.

It was covered in cut-out flowers with diamantes.
Kym's hair was curled and pulled into a loose bun and she wore a pair of diamond earrings.
The 35-year-old has been on maternity leave since January, after giving birth to her daughter Polly, now six months.
She plays Michelle Connor on the soap and was seen earlier this year leaving for a cruise with boyfriend Ciaran McCarthy, played by Boyzone member Keith Duffy, 37.
She returned to filming this month with the singer.
Keith has been touring with the band during his hiatus from the show.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/03/article-2044731-0E33FC4500000578-529_468x859.jpg
It was reported that the pair's characters would return to the Street in November and announce their engagement.
'They will return from their cruise and tell the Street they are planning a huge wedding,' a source told Daily Mirror.
'But this is Corrie and the course of true love *never runs smooth, so anything could happen before they say ‘I do’.'
Recently, Kym told Corrie bosses she’d love her character to have a child after getting over her real-life baby heartache, the Daily Star reported.
She will apparently tell Ciaran McCarthy: 'I want more babies or we’re history.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/03/article-2044731-0E34335300000578-995_468x611.jpg

'I’m sorry Ciaran but I’m not getting any younger and my body clock’s ticking.
'I want more babies and I want them now. And if you don’t want the same thing then maybe it’s time we went our separate ways.'
Bosses last year discussed plans for Michelle to have a baby but put off the idea as it was considered too upsetting after Kym and fiance Jamie Lomas, 31, lost their own son Archie in 2009.
The baby was born 18 weeks early.
Polly was also five weeks premature in March, weighing just 4lb 1oz.
Kym, 35, had been diagnosed with cervix problems and also had the flu.

Meanwhile, Keith, who has played Ciaran on and off for almost ten years, will leave the show to spend more time with his wife Lisa and their children Jay, 15, and Mia, 11.
A source said: 'Something had to give and sadly it was Corrie. He’s had a great time working on the show but these last few months have proved very demanding.
'His daughter Mia, who has autism, is starting secondary school and it’s a big year for Jay as he has his exams. So he’s decided he wants to be at home in Dublin for them both.'
A Coronation Street spokesman said: 'It’s going to be a very dramatic time for Ciaran.

KYM Marsh may look as gorgeous as ever as she films scenes for her Weatherfield hen party, but she confesses she feels like an old woman since her return to the soap.
Kym, 35, who plays Michelle Connor on the Street, has enjoyed the past six months off work since giving
birth to daughter Polly, but admits she is really struggling to get back into the swing of things.
Kym revealed: “Working and baby are tiring. I am absolutely knackered. Work and small babies equals feeling about 90.
“But Polly is doing incredibly well. She weighs just over 13lb now and is six months old. Bless her, the little thing.”
Daily Star
Well, I am sure if she is fed up struggling and wants to take more time off, I would not have a problem with that and I am sure there are a few more people on here who agree :p

lol!!
Posing seductively in skimpy black undies and killer heels, it’s hard to believe that Kym Marsh gave birth to daughter Polly just seven months ago.

And next month the Corrie star will be back kicking up the cobbles when she *returns as Michelle Connor, who’s due to wed fiancé Ciaran, played by Keith Duffy.
In real life, mum-of-three Kym is also getting ready to tie the knot and is *wearing an engagement ring courtesy of former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas.
“It was great fun to do this shoot and show people that you can still feel sexy after having a baby,” says Kym, 35.
“I’ve managed to lose all but a few pounds of my baby weight and it’s all down to Polly as I haven’t had the chance to sit down since she arrived.”

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has revealed that she will miss her co-star Keith Duffy on the soap.
Duffy recently filmed his final scenes in the ITV soap as Ciaran McCarthy, in what will reportedly be a "dramatic" exit.
Writing in her latest New column, Marsh said: "Although he'll be on screen until around Christmas, my co-star Keith Duffy recently left Corrie and we were very sad to see him go. He's become a good friend and I'll miss working with him.
"Keith's not the type to make a big fuss, so he didn't have a proper leaving bash - we just went for a few beers at the pub where we gave him a few gifts we'd clubbed together for."
Marsh added that Duffy has hinted that he wants to return to the soap at some point in the future.
She laughed: "He said he wants to return to Corrie at some point in the future and I hope he does - if not for my sake, then for my character Michelle's!"
Read the full story in this week's New magazine - out today.
Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has said that she does not want character Michelle Connor to have a baby.
The 35-year-old, who returns to the soap tonight after a ten-month break, strenuously denied a recent report claiming that she instructed producers to make her alter ego pregnant.
She told the Radio Times: "I did read somewhere that I'd gone up to the producers and said, 'I want Michelle to have a baby'.
"Let me put people straight on that - I could think of nothing worse! It's lovely to have the baby, but I think it's really important for all parents to keep hold of their own identity and have a little bit of time for themselves."
The former Hear'Say singer earlier expressed her belief that Michelle and departing fiancé Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) will stay in love.
Coronation Street airs Michelle and Ciaran's return tonight at 8.30pm on ITV1.

Yeah right Michelle and Ciaran will stay in love until the next new guy comes into corrie and Kym will be suggesting he becomes Michelle's latest fella.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has admitted that she wants her character Michelle Connor to punch Weatherfield villain Frank Foster.
Michelle is currently going head-to-head with Frank as she has agreed to look after Underworld while Carla (Alison King) spends some time away from the cobbles to clear her head.
Carla was raped by ex-fiancé Frank - played by Andrew Lancel - earlier this year, and the evil businessman has since schemed to make sure that she loses the factory.
Marsh told PA of the storyline: "Michelle's obviously horrified to see what's happened. She's definitely not going to be scared of Frank, that's for sure, because I think he's met his match with Michelle so he'd better watch out.
"I'd love to see her punch him in the face! No offence Andrew Lancel."
The actress went on to praise Lancel for his portrayal of Frank over the past few months.
"He is brilliant. It's got to be difficult to play a rapist," she commented. "The guy is such a lovely guy. Obviously nothing like Frank and what I love about Andrew is he's such a subtle actor.
"He kind of underplays everything and it just is brilliant to watch. I've had nothing but admiration for that storyline really."
Frank has recently been tipped to start a relationship with Sally Webster as his story takes new twists in the weeks ahead.
Kym Marsh has said that there is "no need" for Hear'Say to consider a reunion.
The 'Pure and Simple' group were formed on 2001 reality series Popstars, but split in late 2002, just months after Marsh had quit.
Now starring as Michelle Connor in Coronation Street, Marsh backed former bandmate Myleene Klass's comments that a reunion would not happen.
"A journalist recently asked my friend and former bandmate Myleene Klass if she would
consider a Steps-style reunion for Hear'Say," the actress wrote in her New magazine column. "Myleene said, 'Not a chance in hell. It was hard enough the first time around, with us all arguing and bitching'. I feel exactly the same!"
She continued: "We're all doing well in our individual fields, so there's just no need to go back there. And, let's face it, we didn't have enough material for us to do a greatest hits tour!"
In her autobiography released earlier this year, Marsh recalled how she had fought with Klass during their time in the band. However, she revealed that the two had rebuilt their relationship following the death of Marsh's son Archie in 2009.
"Myleene really was there for me. She helped me choose the music for Archie's funeral and sent the most beautiful bouquet of flowers to the crematorium," she said. "We have both grown up now that we have children of our own. Life is too short to hold grudges and what happened back then isn't anyone's fault. I am determined not to let anything or anyone come between us again."
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has admitted that she embraces the "bitchy" side of her alter ego Michelle Connor.
The actress, who has been part of the Weatherfield soap since 2006, said that she is grateful to play a character who has so many different sides to her personality.
Marsh told PA: "What I love about Michelle is she's many different things and she can be everything. She can be a real bitch but she's not playing the bitch character - what that essentially means for me as an actress is she can be in many different places on the Street and slot in.
"It's not like she would never talk to that person because she's too much of a bitch. It's really lucky for me because I enjoy being many different characters."
The 35-year-old said that her current contract with Coronation Street keeps her at the soap until the middle of next year.
She confirmed: "I'm there till June for definite, and then after that who knows?"
This week's Coronation Street episodes see Michelle's wedding plans in jeopardy after her partner Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) gambled away their cash for the venue.

answer me this re Michelle Connor? when Ciaran was talking to her last week he said with regard to her wanting more kids - 'you're only 33' she replied, 'yes but thats 5 to midnight in my book...'
anyway if she is only 33, how come she has a 19 year old son ?
even my maths can see that doesnt quite work out

Two possible reasons
1. She was a 14 yr old slapper
2. Crap scriptwriting of what was a stupid storyline anyway

well I think I'd have to go for option 2....because Ryan's father when spoken about in the context of his tragic death, was always mentionned as her long term bloke?
writers need to watch a few more old episodes!!
SHE left her new daughter at home to return to work, but Corrie star Kym Marsh says she’s sick of being judged by other mums.
The 35-year-old returned to the *Weatherfield cobbles this autumn, six months after the birth of her fourth child Polly.
But she faced the wrath of other mums who accused her of going back to work too early.
Kym, whose third child Archie died three years ago, has two older children from a previous relationship.
She admits she was surprised by the reaction to her decision to go back to Coronation Street.
She said: “I’ve actually had a bit of a backlash on Twitter, with people thinking I shouldn’t have gone back to work after having a child. I had 10 months of my 12 month entitlement off.
“But they asked me why I went back to work after having my baby. I responded to it, saying because I have to work, and they told me I should stay at home and just live off my partner’s money.
“I think some people live in the dark ages. It’s *outrageous. Working mums everywhere have a right to know that there are such bigoted people out there.
“People might think we’re all millionaires and that we can take as much time off as we want. But people need to get with the times.
“As far as I can see, you can’t win. If you go back to work, you’re abandoning your child. If you don’t go back to work, you’re sponging off the government. You just have to get on with it and do what you feel is best.”
Kym lost Archie, her first child with current partner, Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas, after he was born 18 weeks premature in 2009.
She was previously married to actor Jack Ryder, but the pair divorced in 2009.
She endured a difficult pregnancy with Polly, and has found her early months to be a test too.
She said: “She’s not been the easiest baby, it has to be said.
“She’s had gastric reflux, which has been horrendous at times. I have to keep her up after feeds, which is really tough in the middle of the night.
“She was on medication but has had to come off that now, but it did make things very difficult. She’s settling down now, though.”
Having been down the motherhood road already, after raising teenagers David, 16, and Emily, 13, you’d have thought she would have taken the latest tot’s early months in her stride. Not so.
She said: “I was 18 when I had my first baby, so had a lot more energy. And I wasn’t working full time with either of them. I had a lot more time on my hands.
“When you’ve got to juggle a job, as well as being mum to a new baby, things are very intense. It’s much more difficult this time around but I do have much more patience than I did when I was younger.
“Polly has been on set, she’s been to see *everybody a couple of times. She’s had the Corrie tour.”
Kym returned as feisty Michelle Connor after her maternity leave in September, a matter of weeks before long-running cast member Betty Driver - who played Betty Turpin for 42 years - died.
She said: “I wasn’t around that week when she died. I got a phone call from the press office at Corrie to let us know, which was nice of them, otherwise we’d have been reading it in the papers.
“I was lucky enough to have filmed some scenes with her over the years and was very fond of her.
“She was an amazing lady, such a strong woman. It was obvious to everyone, as time went on, that she was becoming more poorly, but it was still a shock.
“We all knew what age she was and what an amazing life she’d had. So many of the programmes on the telly after she died told such an amazing story about her.
“She did some amazing things and will be sorely missed here, she really will.
“Betty had only been coming in every so often, lately, she was only in now and then.
“For some of us, it really hasn’t sunk in yet, the knowledge that we won’t be seeing her again.
“It’s a strange feeling. I suppose, when we give her character her send off on the Street it will hit everyone then.
“I have no idea what the storyline is for that one yet, but I’m hoping it’s a party of some sort, rather than a sombre affair. I think we should celebrate her life in style.”
Her own character is facing a *pre-nuptial tussle with other half Ciaran, who gambles with her savings for their wedding in an impromptu poker match, but there’s also the death of another Street favourite to contend with.
Schmeichel, Chesney’s Great Dane named after the former Manchester United and Denmark goalie Peter Schmeichel, has chased his last ball.
“Poor Schmeichel,” said Kym. “These dogs only live for so long, seven or eight years. But several dogs have played Schmeichel over the years. The one they use at the moment is a much younger dog than Schmeichel.
“So they’ve had to put chalk on his face to make him look older. He’s actually such a popular character, it’s the end of an era.”
The beginning of a new chapter for Corrie was marked with the arrival of Michelle Collins, as Stella Price, and Scot John Michie, as Karl Munro, earlier this year.
The pair - specifically Collins - attracted criticism from fans who were unconvinced by their accents. But Kym - who watched their arrival while off on maternity leave - said: “They’re both doing really well, I don’t see what the problem was.
“It was probably down to the fact that Michelle was a southerner, and because she played Cindy (in EastEnders).
“But it’s always the same when new families arrive in Corrie. There seems to be a bit of snobbery towards them.
“But I think they’re both great, and I hope Michelle and Karl have a bit of a fling in the future.”
Kym, of course, achieved fame through ITV’s Popstars spin-off band Hear’Say. Given the number of acts from the Noughties who have reformed, including Boyzone and Steps, has there been a clamour for a Hear’Say reunion?
No. And nor is there likely to be, thankfully.
Kym’s not surprised.
She said: “I can safely say there’s no reunion on the cards at all. I’m quite happy where I am. Steps had a bit more of a career than us. Hear’Say were together for a year before I left them and they continued for a bit longer and that was it. We couldn’t exactly have a greatest hits album.
"Fair play to Steps. They’re doing well. Take That were the same, and the Spice Girls. So it does seem to be a bit of a pattern. There’s some call for it. But I’d never say never, as far as other singing projects go, because you never know what’s around the corner. But I really love what I’m doing now.
“I love the feistiness that Michelle’s bringing back to the show. It’s nice to have her fiery side back, and I’m hoping I get more of that.”
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh reckons Weatherfield could do with some older hunks.
The actress, who is back on screens as feisty Michelle Connor, would like to see some new faces on the ITV1 soap, particularly of the male variety.
"They need some new men, I think. We're very women heavy in Corrie, aren't we?" she said.
"We've got to have some eye candy, particularly of our age, like in our 30s. There's not really many guys to go round for girls. They do tend to be muscle-bound hunks, but we don't mind that."
Kym has enjoyed her alter-ego's passionate romances on the Street, which have included Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) and her current squeeze, fiance Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy).
"I've been very fortunate because I've had some really great partners on screen, Simon being the one I was with for the longest. We had good fun together," she recalled.
"I really enjoyed my brief stint with Chris Gascoyne as well. I think he's so heavyweight, he's brilliant, and obviously Keith who's missed by everyone, so yeah I've been really lucky."
The 35-year-old is keeping mum about the future between Ciaran and Michelle: "'Keith's left, but whether or not they get married remains to be seen. You'll have to wait and see what happens."
:: Kym is fronting a new campaign launched by Childnet to give parents practical advice on how to discuss using the internet responsibly with children. The new tips for parents can be found at www.childnet.com/downloading.

She's got to keep asking for more male characters otherwise she wouldn't have a job on Corrie.
Corrie’s feisty Michelle Connor is used to pulling pints but when it comes to fellas she might as well forget it.
Smarmy charmer Ciaran McCarthy became the latest man to break the ex-barmaid’s heart when he gambled away their £1,000 wedding deposit.
Michelle’s party on Friday turned into a leaving do as the couple split up and chef Ciaran ran off to sea.
But as the temporary knicker *factory boss packs away her sexy wedding gown she might be excused a smile.
On Coronation Street handsome Ciaran has joined the likes of Steve McDonald and bisexual Sonny Dhillon in her list of doomed relationships.
But in real life Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle, is far happier and *planning to wed former Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas, 31, next year.
But unlike Michelle, Kym, 35, is far more grounded and more realistic about her big day.
Kym said: “Marriage is very *important to Michelle. She wants the white knight on a horse and the fairy tale, when in real life we know that doesn’t exist.
“I’ve three lovely kids and a lovely little guardian angel who is looking over us. The next step will be an intimate wedding.”
The guardian angel is Archie, their 18-week premature son who tragically died in 2009. Kym and Jamie now have eight-month-old daughter Polly, they have been *engaged for two years and *recently Kym said she didn’t mind if they never tied the knot.
Intimate
She says: “Jamie keeps saying we’ll get married next year.
“We were *supposed to last year then it didn’t happen. We thought about it for this year and then I fell pregnant with Polly.
“It’s one of those things that has kept rolling over and now he thinks we should just do it.
“We’ll probably go away *somewhere. It will be quite last minute – we don’t want something massive, we want it to be intimate.
“If it was in Britain we’d have to start inviting everybody and it would become a huge affair. We want it just to be the two of us, our children, our parents and siblings and maybe one or two close friends.
“We’d probably have a big party afterwards for friends but we want quite a small ceremony.
Kym met Jamie in 2008 and became pregnant later that year but Archie died moments after his premature birth in February 2009.
Jamie proposed on Christmas Day that year and in March this year Kym gave birth to Polly.
Loved up: Jamie and Kym at British Soap Awards
She says: “We had planned to get married before but lots of things *happened that made it impossible for us. It’s not a big deal though.
“We’re committed to each other. We have a baby together and we’re engaged. Marriage is the next step but it’s not necessary to make us a firm couple – we already are one.
“I think marriage these days is not the same as it was years ago. Rightly or wrongly, I don’t think it’s a big issue or a big priority.
“Maybe it’s my age too. When I was younger I wanted to get married and be the princess but, to be honest, it’s one day and it’s over in a flash. We definitely will do it but now I’m older it’s not the be all and end all of life.”
Jamie certainly looks a better bet than Ciaran, played by Boyzone heartthrob Keith Duffy, 37.
Kym, who has two children, David, 16, and Emily, 13, from a previous relationship, has been married once before – to former EastEnders star Jack Ryder – but they split in 2008.
Just a few months later she met Jamie and it is clear they are devoted to each other. “I think what we’ve been through as a couple has definitely made us stronger,” she explains. “A lot of people would have walked away and it says how much we care for each other that we stayed together.
“Jamie is special to me – not like anybody else I’ve ever met. We’ll always have Archie and Polly and everything we’ve shared.”
Kym was a 24-year-old single mum from Wigan living on benefits when she first hit the headlines in 2001 as one of Hear’Say, winners of ITV1’s music reality show Popstars. Their debut single Pure and Simple sold 1.2million copies and is one of the fastest-selling non charity record of all time.
But Kym was missing her children and quit after a year. She enjoyed a successful solo career before joining Coronation Street in 2006.
As well as juggling work *commitments and a new-born baby, devoted mum Kym has also recently found time to get involved with a new campaign to warn teenagers about the dangers of downloading films and music from *illegal websites. She says: “David and Emily are the same as any other *teenagers, and they simply didn’t *realise what could happen as a result of *downloading illegal music or films.
“You can end up with a virus on your computer which allows hackers to get access to your bank details. I’d recommend parents look at www.childnet.com/downloading for advice on downloading safely and legally.”
Kym does allow her children on Facebook but was shocked to discover that imposters had set up fake *accounts, pretending to be them. “My children have their own private *accounts that only friends they know can access but I’ve had to have a couple of people removed from the site for pretending to be them,” she reveals.
“Somebody pretending to be Emily even posted a picture of a baby claiming it was Polly when she’d just been born and it wasn’t Polly at all.
“Thankfully neither of them have been bullied online, but I have seen the odd sly message here and there – I think girls are the worst for it. They play little mind games. The internet can be a scary place so it’s important that parents know what their children are doing.”
Kym admits she’s not yet decided exactly how she will spend this Christmas, although David and Emily will be with their dad and she and Jamie are likely to have Jamie’s son Billy, aged five, from a previous relationship.
When they all get together it’s certainly a full house and Kym insists she won’t be having more kids. “No, I’ve done my bit,” she laughs.
“For whatever reason my body can’t carry babies any more and I just have to accept that, but I feel very lucky.”
While she admits being a working mum is tiring she insists she would not have it any other way.
She’s contracted to stay on the cobbles until at least June next year and has not got itchy feet despite the imminent departures of co-stars Katherine Kelly, who plays Becky McDonald, and Helen Flanagan, who plays Rosie Webster.
“I’m happy as things are at the minute,” she explains.
Exhausted
Katherine had a leaving bash last week but Michelle missed it as she couldn’t get a babysitter.
“I heard it was a great do. Kate was very popular at work and everyone will miss her – she was a huge part of the show. It’ll be weird without her.”
Not that Kym is complaining about missing a night out.
Down-to-earth and relaxed, she admits that since hitting her 30s she has stopped worrying about things so much. And that applies to the last remaining pounds of baby weight she’s not yet managed to budge.
“It’s still hanging on in there,” she laughs. “When I get a chance I’ll go to the gym but until then it will just stay there. Now I’m in my 30s I don’t bother about things like that anymore.
“I’m not obese. I’ve got a tiny bit of weight to lose but Polly is still only eight months old. I’m exhausted with looking after her and work, so the last thing I’m going to do is punish myself in the gym. I’ve got other priorities.”
Kym is fronting a Childnet campaign to give parents practical advice on how to discuss using the net responsibly with kids. The new tips can be found at www.childnet.com/downloading, along with the free downloadable guide.
The People
Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has branded John Thomson "unprofessional" following his recent remarks about her co-star Antony Cotton.
Thomson, who played Weatherfield's Jesse Chadwick between 2008 and 2010, blasted Cotton on Twitter last week while watching him on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
The former Cold Feet actor told his online followers that he thinks Cotton is a "nasty piece of work", adding that he had been "trouble with a capital T" when they worked together on Coronation Street.
However, Marsh has now defended Cotton in her latest New magazine column.
Reflecting on Cotton's jungle stint, Marsh wrote: "He's done exceptionally well and he's a beautiful person. He may have had a bit of a moan, but I'd be doing more than moaning - I'd be terrible in there!
"I was surprised that ex-Corrie star and actor John Thomson felt the need to say on Twitter that Antony was a 'nasty piece of work'. Not only is it unprofessional, it's also untrue - Antony hasn't got a nasty bone in his body!"
Cotton finished in fourth place on I'm a Celebrity last Friday.

More Crap from the supercillious Kym Marsh as she tries to boost her pathetic magazine column
Kym Marsh has defended her recent comments about John Thomson after she was criticised on Twitter.
Former Coronation Street actor John Thomson recently blasted his co-star Antony Cotton's appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here by describing him as a "nasty piece of work".
Marsh has since called Thomson "unprofessional" for his remarks, saying that his accusations are also "untrue."
Responding to tweets about her comments, she posted: "Love being told I have no right to defend my friend and how it's nowt to do with me.. Erm so what's it to do with u then? (sic)"
A Twitter user replied: "But surely you can understand that alot of people found Anthony Cotton very bitchy on IAC and therefore don't think he is nice guy."
She said: "yes but it's an EDITED tv show made for shock and entertainment purposes and I KNOW the real Antony so am able to comment."
She later ended the discussion by saying: "Yes Thompson IS entitled to an opinion as am I! And as Antony is my friend I am also entitled to defend him. Don't u defend your mates?"
Cotton finished in fourth place in I'm a Celebrity last week, with McFly's Dougie Poynter crowned King of the Jungle
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she would like her fiancé Jamie Lomas to join the soap.
Lomas is currently preparing for new projects after bowing out from Hollyoaks following a year back in the role of Warren Fox.
Marsh told PA that she thinks Lomas would be a hit on Coronation Street if show bosses signed him up for a part.
"I'd love him to do it, I think he'd be brilliant. I think he'd be great on the Street," Marsh explained. "I could see him there, but he's just left soap so I think he'll be wanting to leave soap alone for a little while."
She continued: "We'd get on with it, we're both very professional. I don't think there'd be any bickering. I don't think we'd bring our problems to work or arguments.
"But I don't think they'd dare put us together, I think that'd be a bit too far-fetched."
Lomas's final Hollyoaks scenes will air next week in an explosive Christmas storyline.
But I don't think they'd dare put us together, I think that'd be a bit too far-fetched
And Corrie doesnt do Far-Fetched. They just bring Traceyluv back in a ridiculous storyline. They introduce Stelllaaaarrrrgggghhhh as Leannes long lost mother who has apparently been living just a few miles away in Manchester for years but for some strange reason has picked up a London Accident. The same Corrie that brings back a failed singer and puts her in charge of a knicker factory. Go ahead Michelle throw a strop and Im sure the Corrie bosses will bring your lover to join you in Weatherfield
KYM Marsh looked in great Saint Nick as she rocked a Santa hat and tiny shorts that showed off her sexy pins just ahead of the holidays.
The Corrie ****, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, donned the clobber to support ITV1's Text Santa charity campaign.
She slipped into a black short-sleeved T-shirt and denim cut-offs that displayed her long legs.
She was joined by her cobbles co-star Samia Ghadie, who dressed up as a Christmas tree decoration for the fundraising telly programme.
The stunning actress sported a red and white fluffy hooded jacket and fur-trimmed skirt

How many times is she going to flog this dead horse. She has suggested a number of times about Jamie joining Corrie and her requests have fallen on deaf ears. She needs to give it up it's not going to happen.

So do I but I don't think they will bring him in she was begging for him to get on Corrie the last time he left Hollyoaks and it didn't happen. Hopefully the writers will keep ignoring her requests and she might leave and take yo-yo knickers Carla with her.
Kym Marsh has admitted that she is unsure over her future on Coronation Street.
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor, said that she wants to stay on the ITV1 soap but is yet to hear about a new deal. Her current contract expires in June.

She told PA: "I've no idea yet, I don't know if they want me to stay, so we'll just have to wait until next year (2012) and see what happens.
"I would like to stay, if it's right for me and right for them I'll definitely stay, but there are two parties involved and it's got to work for everybody."
Michelle recently split from fiancé Ciaran McCarthy, played by Keith Duffy. Marsh said that she is excited to see how the story develops for her character.
"I'm sure that there's always things going on. She's just gone into the factory and everything, I'm looking forward to seeing where she goes next," she added.
Marsh joined the Weatherfield soap in April 2006.

More rubbish from the vacuous Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor on the soap, tweeted: "Fantastic news about Michael Le Vell having all charges dropped! I hope they make as much of this news as they did about condemning him."
DUH!!!!!! He was NOT charged with any offences so how could he have had them dropped.

Dancing On Ice: Kym Marsh backing Matthew Wolfenden, Andy Whyment
Kym Marsh has admitted she is torn over who she will support in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice.
Kym Marsh has admitted she is torn over who she will support in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice.
The line-up for the show includes Marsh's Coronation Street co-star Andy Whyment and Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden.
Wolfenden is engaged to co-star Charley Webb, who is the sister of Kym's boyfriend Jamie Lomas.
Marsh wrote in her new! magazine column: "I can't wait for Dancing On Ice to start this weekend.
"I'll be very torn, though, as Matthew Wolfenden and Andy Whyment are competing."
She added: "Matthew's family - he's virtually my brother-in-law - and Andy is a close colleague. I'll have to support one one week and one the other!"
Discussing the pairs' involvement in the competition, Marsh said: "Matthew was a dancer for years so I'm sure he'll be one to watch, and I think Andy will surprise people.
"The thought of Matthew in Lycra makes me giggle. I'll be going to the studio to show my support."
More garbage spouting from her mouth;
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has expressed her excitement over future plans for her character Michelle Connor.
The actress, who has been on the cobbles since 2006, is thought to have recently met with show bosses as she prepares to sign a new deal with the programme.
Marsh returned to filming at Coronation Street late last year after taking maternity leave. She and fiancé Jamie Lomas welcomed the arrival of a baby daughter named Polly in March 2011.
Discussing the future, Marsh told The People: "ITV have been brilliant while I was on maternity leave and looking after Polly in the months after giving birth.
"The producers have also told me about other storylines they have planned for Michelle that I am very excited about."
Marsh's current Coronation Street deal expires in the summer, but show producers are reportedly keen to keep her. :(
Meanwhile, an ITV source told the newspaper that Marsh has "always wanted to stay in Weatherfield" beyond her existing contract.
Last week, tabloid reports suggested that Michelle will come under suspicion when evil Frank Foster is murdered in a few weeks' time.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is being offered her best ever storylines to stop her leaving the cobbles. :eek: :angry:
Kym, 35, who plays Michelle Connor, is ready to sign a new deal if the money's right.
She met ITV bosses last week, five months before her contract runs out.
Corrie bosses are desperate to keep Kym after recently losing Katherine Kelly (Becky McDonald) and Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster).
And Kym, who gave birth to her third child last March, is keen to return to centre stage.
In November viewers saw ex-barmaid Michelle being left by Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) after he gambled away their wedding deposit.
She is going to be implicated in the murder of twisted rapist Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel) and will be in an explosive plot later this year. Kym said last night: "ITV have been brilliant while I was on maternity leave and looking after Polly in the months after giving birth.
"The producers have also told me about other storylines they have planned for Michelle that I am very excited about."
Kym and fiancé Jamie Lomas, 31, lost their baby Archie in 2009 when he was born 18 weeks early.
Jamie is currently in Los Angeles with fellow Hollyoaks star Ricky Whittle trying to crack Hollywood. A friend of Kym's told The People she had felt sidelined after 10 months of maternity leave but was delighted about landing bigger storylines.
"Michelle is one of Corrie's most popular characters and they were worried about losing yet another pretty female face, particularly if she heads for the US, where Jamie is."
An ITV source said former Hear'Say singer Kym, who signed a lucrative two-year deal in 2010, always wanted to stay in Weatherfield but Jamie's Hollywood bid would be in Corrie bosses' minds.
The source added: "The kids' schools are here, their friends and family are here. For them, certainly at the moment, it just does not make sense to move to the US."

Your second post is just a fuller version of the first. Its from an article which appeared in the People on 12th Feb
Her relationship with fiancé Jamie Lomas is beginning to read like a storyline straight out of Coronation Street.
Kym Marsh is reportedly finding it difficult to cope with her man now living in America and their engagement is said to be 'on the rocks'.
The 35-year-old soap star has had a few heated arguments with Jamie and friends say that Kym didn't realise how tough living apart would be.
Former Hollyoaks actor Jamie relocated to Los Angeles in the hope that it would kick-start his career in the States, but the strain on Kym has proven to much bare.
The mother-of-three initially supported her partner's decision to move away because she understands how difficult their industry can be, however, with her own career being so busy she now wants Jamie to come home.
A source told the Mirror newspaper: 'It has really put a strain on their relationship. The combination of the distance between them and the stress Kym is under at home has led to several arguments over the phone and on Skype.'
Jamie, 31, is due back in England at the end of March after a three month stint trying to crack America, but he may have to return sooner if he wants to save his engagement.
The source told the newspaper: 'It is on the rocks right now. Only time will tell if they come through it.'
The couple, who have been dating since 2008,got engaged in 2009 after a romantic New Year's Eve proposal.
Speaking last year, Kym seemed excited and optimistic about her relationship as she spoke of how she wants her wedding day to pan out.
She told the Sunday People: 'I’ve three lovely kids and a lovely little guardian angel who is looking over us. The next step will be an intimate wedding.'
She also told the Mirror, last year: 'We had planned to get married before, but lots of things happened that made it impossible for us.'
If Jamie gets the big break he so desperately wants then a permanent move to Tinseltown could be on the cards and their marriage could be postponed for good.
A representative for Miss Marsh refused to comment on the relationship.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has hit back at rumours surrounding her relationship with fiancé Jamie Lomas.
Tabloid reports have claimed that the pair are on the rocks as Marsh is allegedly struggling to be apart from Lomas, who has made a temporary move to the US to search for acting work there.
Speculation over the pair's future continued today (March 1) as pictures emerged showing Marsh out in public without her engagement ring.
However, writing on Twitter, Marsh commented: "Annoyed now, just to say these latest stories in press are out of nowhere. I will be correcting in my column, but this latest ring story is a joke!
"I was out at Dancing On Ice with Jamie's sister!!!! I had earlier applied cream to my person and forgot to put it back on! Why? Must I ALWAYS make sure my rings are on just in case someone wants to talk crap! For f**k's sake! #laughable."
She continued: "In fact, there is a pic of me earlier that same day wearing a white oxo jumper and clearly I have my ring onnnnnn!!!!!!! (sic)"
Marsh and Lomas, best known for their roles as Corrie's Michelle Connor and Hollyoaks' Warren Fox, have been an item since 2008 and have a young daughter Polly together.
KYM MARSH has admitted that "things have been difficult" between her and fiancé Jamie Lomas.
The Corrie star said she was relying on friends' support after ex-Hollyoaks star Jamie moved to the US to crack Hollywood.
But she insisted they were NOT on the rocks.
In her column in New! magazine, Kym said: "The decision for him to go to LA was a joint one and I knew how long for. Yes, it's hard and I'm tired. But I've got a really good network of family and friends to rely on."
She added Jamie would be back in time to celebrate their daughter Polly's first birthday on March 23.
Why dont you go to America for a few years and try to save the relationship
Kym Marsh has laughed off a magazine report which claimed that she doubts fiancé Jamie Lomas's prospects of finding work in Los Angeles.
The ex-Hollyoaks star is currently in America, aiming to find a role during the ongoing pilot season.
An alleged source told Now magazine that Marsh has advised Lomas that he is "better off staying in the UK because he has more contacts".
However, when made aware of the story, the Coronation Street star told followers on Twitter: "Ha! Now magazine latest tale! What a pile of crap they talk!! Hey here's a thought now mag... Why don't ya call and check your facts first (sic)"
She continued: "I love when some mags say a source says.... That is code for 'we have nowt so we're making it up'. Ha! NOWT magazine ha ha x."
Responding to a follower, the mother-of-three said that she wanted magazines to name their sources, adding: "If so reliable name them they will be no one I know I assure u."
Previously dismissing claims last week, Marsh insisted that Lomas had not "abandoned" the family, writing in her magazine column: "The decision for him to go to Los Angeles was a joint one and I knew how long for."
Jamie Lomas is reportedly in talks to star in a Hollywood film.
The former Hollyoaks actor recently moved to Los Angeles to try to start a career in the US.
Lomas has been joined by his former co-star Ricky Whittle, who has stated that he is looking to settle down in the area to focus on his ambition.
"WOW, great weekend, been in talks about a new film, excited, watch this space TICK TOCK BOOM! (sic)," the 31-year-old tweeted earlier this week.
Lomas's fiancée Kym Marsh has dismissed claims that he has "abandoned" her to achieve his dreams.
A friend of the Coronation Street actress has claimed that Marsh has struggled without Lomas in the country, and would find it hard if he were to stay there.
"Kym had no idea how difficult being apart would be," the friend told The Mirror. "It will be distressing if he heads back to LA for some considerable time.
"Kym will be happy if he gets the part, but she will struggle with Corrie and bringing up Polly."
Marsh has also laughed off claims that she wasn't sure if Lomas would succeed in America.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has been cast as Elsie Tanner in the soap's upcoming musical project Street of Dreams.
The actress, who portrays Weatherfield's Michelle Connor, will make her debut as Elsie when Street of Dreams has its world premiere in Manchester on May 9.
As she explores Elsie's journey through the 1960s era, Marsh will also perform a rendition of 'I Know How It Feels' from the 2010 Coronation Street album Rogues, Angels,
Marsh commented: "The strong, determined and indomitable women have always defined Coronation Street right from the very first episode to the present day, and Elsie Tanner will go down in history as one of the most gossiped-about women in Weatherfield.
"She's left some rather big stiletto shoes to fill, but to have the opportunity to represent such an iconic character of yesteryear on a stage of this scale is an absolute honour."
Street of Dreams' composer Trisha Ward added: "I am thrilled Kym is joining the world premiere tour of Coronation Street: Street of Dreams to play Elsie Tanner. Elsie was at the very heart of Tony Warren's Coronation Street and a character that stayed with me through the process of writing a major musical around the world's most successful TV programme.
"Kym has a wonderful voice for Elsie's torch-song, 'I Know How It Feels', and embodies the same beauty and dynamic passion that embodied this most iconic of Tony's female characters."
West End star Jodie Prenger will also take to the stage alongside Marsh, playing the 1980s version of Elsie for the world premiere in Manchester.
.
Prenger said: "The entire production is just gorgeous, with infectious songs which stick in your head! The music is fabulous, the orchestration is phenomenal and the cast are truly amazing. To be asked to play such an amazing part in something that people will be telling their grandchildren about in years to come is just a dream."
As previously announced, Paul O'Grady will feature as the star of Street of Dreams, guiding the audience through the most memorable storylines in Coronation Street's history and encountering well-loved characters old and new.
Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch), Kevin Kennedy (Curly Watts), Brian Capron (Richard Hillman), Bill Roache (Ken Barlow) and Katy Cavanagh (Julie Carp) have previously been confirmed for the show.
Following its premiere in Manchester, Street of Dreams will tour to Dublin,
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has said that she would like her character Michelle Connor to enjoy a romance with a younger man.
The actress, who has been on the cobbles for six years, admitted that she wants to see Michelle push the boundaries in an upcoming storyline.
Marsh told OK Extra: "I'd like her to have a toyboy! That would be really funny, as she's quite moral. I'd like to see her doing something a little bit daring and risqué.
"Little Harry Styles could play the toyboy - he's so cute! My daughter's got a big crush on him."
Michelle's most recent story saw her among the suspects in the Frank Foster murder case. However, the businessman's mother Anne (Gwen Taylor) was later unmasked as the real culprit.
Reflecting on the plot, Marsh continued: "It's been brilliant, but really tiring and intense. It's great to get your teeth into a storyline like that, and I was so proud to be part of it.
"We knew Anne did it and we had to keep it a secret, so I was pleased it didn't get out. It's such a shame when the papers print spoilers and it ruins it for everyone."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays on ITV1.

Kym marsh delves into Coronation Street history next month as she takes on the role of Elsie Tanner in the soap's musical project Street of Dreams.
The actress and singer, who plays Michelle Connor on the main show, makes her debut as Elsie when Street of Dreams has its world premiere in Manchester on May 9.
As announced a few weeks ago, Marsh will be exploring Elsie's journey through the 1960s era, while West End star Jodie Prenger is to play the older version of Elsie.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Kym to hear about Street of Dreams and what could lie ahead for Michelle.
> Jodie Prenger interview: 'Corrie musical role is so exciting'
> Corrie's Katy Cavanagh talks musical, Julie and more - interview
How did you first get involved in Street of Dreams?
"I knew that something was in the works for a good couple of years, because I was involved in the album Rogues, Angels, Heroes and Fools, which the musical's composer Trisha Ward brought out two years ago. I sang the part of Elsie Tanner on the album so I knew that something was in the offing back then, but whether it would officially happen was another matter.
"A few months back, I received a phone call from Coronation Street's executive producer Kieran Roberts, explaining that this was going ahead and asking whether I'd be interested in being on board. Of course I jumped at the opportunity, because it's such a fantastic project to be involved in - especially playing the part of Elsie."
Is there any pressure with taking on such an iconic role?
"There is a bit of pressure, but let's not forget that this is a very different Elsie, because you're seeing her walking down the street singing! So in that sense it's a different thing altogether, but I certainly will have to bring some of her mannerisms into the performance - trying to look and act like her throughout the songs. Hopefully I'll be able to do that successfully - I'm watching lots of YouTube footage at the moment."
Why do you think the character of Elsie is so memorable?
"Elsie was a tough woman who didn't take any messing, but there was also a more vulnerable side to her where you saw that she did hurt. Coronation Street in my opinion is based on strong, feisty women and downtrodden men - that's what the show has always been about.
"Pat Phoenix brought Elsie to life and the character was exactly that - a strong, feisty woman. Everybody loves that about Coronation Street and they loved it about Elsie. She brought a lot of strength and a lot of comedy to the cobbles - there was a lot of laughter and tears where Elsie was concerned."
Can you tell us about the songs you'll be singing in the production?
"I'm going to be singing Elsie's song 'I Know How It Feels', and I'll also be involved in a number called 'Them Barlows', which will feature Elsie and Dennis Tanner."
How does singing musical numbers compare to your pop background?
"It's completely different! You have to act throughout the singing, so you have to portray how the character is feeling while also concentrating on the vocals. Plus, I'll be singing with a Manchester accent. Normally when you sing, the accent is gone - but this is done in true Manchester style!"
Jodie Prenger is playing the older version of Elsie. How are you getting along with her?
"We've actually met for the first time today, and I was really excited to hear that she'd be involved. I went to see Jodie in Oliver and thought she was absolutely brilliant in it. She seems like a lovely person and she has an amazing voice, so it's going to be fun! I'm sure she's looking forward to it as much as I am."
Are you looking forward to working alongside so many Corrie icons?
"I'm very excited about it. I already knew Kev Kennedy, as I've met him on several occasions before this. Brian Capron was obviously the ultimate Street psycho, so it's going to be great. We all get on very, very well. There's going to be a buzz, and I'm sure when we're in Dublin we might have a bit of Guinness together!"
How does the musical affect your usual Coronation Street filming?
"I'm still going to be filming the main show. I'm probably not going to be able to do all of the dates, but I'm confirmed for Manchester and Dublin. Kieran is working very closely with Trisha to work out how much I can do, because obviously my main job is Coronation Street and that will have to come first. Obviously I've got three children as well, so I'll be trying to juggle everything!"
Can you give us any gossip on what's coming up for Michelle on the main show?
"It's difficult because I hear a lot of rumours, and whether or not they're true, I don't know! People have been asking me whether Ryan is coming back, because that's been one of the rumours recently.
"I really have no idea at this stage, but I'd love Ryan to come back. I think it'd be great to bring back that dynamic and maybe see how he's changed. I'm sure Digital Spy will know anyway, because you always have all the spoilers out!"
Are you enjoying the Michelle and Carla dynamic we've seen recently?
"I'm really enjoying it. Myself and Alison King have a lot of fun working together - we always have. When we first went into the show, our characters were always feuding and that worked, but it works even better now that they're allies and working together at the factory.
"We called ourselves the 'black widows' the other day - Michelle's always really bad where love is concerned, while Carla's men are always dying on her! Hopefully their dynamic will continue."
Finally, was there any truth in the recent rumours about your fiancé Jamie Lomas joining Coronation Street as Carla's brother?
"All I can say is that Jamie was one of several people that Coronation Street wanted to look at for the part. Jamie is very busy with other things at the moment, so whether it would be right for him and right for them is still not clear, so we'll see."
CORRIE star Kym Marsh and fiancé Jamie Lomas put on a United front yesterday — hours after The Sun revealed he had a boozy snog with a brunette.
Kym, 35, and Lomas, 37, smiled as he picked up tickets from Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground for the derby with City.
The couple put their arms around one another before going on a shopping trip to Selfridges.
They looked for clothes for daughter Polly, one, before ex-Hollyoaks actor Lomas tried to make up for his bad behaviour by treating Kym to a present.
It is the first time the couple have been pictured since we told how Lomas kissed Katie Moores, 26, on his hotel bed at 4am after a boozy night out in Leeds.
An onlooker said: “Jamie looked happy because he collected two tickets for the biggest game of the season. They were smiling and walked arm in arm at one point.
“Kym must be very forgiving. It looks like she has given him one last chance.”
The couple returned to their £600,000 semi-detached in Worsley, Greater Manchester, but refused to comment.
Lomas’s betrayal has heaped more heartache on mum-of-three Kym after her mother Pauline cracked three ribs visiting sick hubby Dave in hospital.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has reportedly signalled her intention to resolve her relationship problems.
Allegations surfaced yesterday that Marsh's fiancé Jamie Lomas was unfaithful after carer Katie Moores claimed he invited her back to his hotel room.
However, the couple have vowed to "work through" and "talk through" their issues, according to The Mirror.
"They are still living in the same house and that says a lot," a source said.
Appearing on yesterday's BBC Breakfast, Marsh said about her private life: "You just get on with it don't you really, it's just part of the job. It's tricky."
Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor in Corrie, last month denied rumours claiming her relationship with Lomas had collapsed.
They have been together since 2008.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is reportedly worried that her fiancé will face more infidelity claims.
Earlier this week, Jamie Lomas was accused of kissing carer Katie Moores in his hotel suite after a night out.
"Now that one person has come forward, Kym's worried that the floodgates will open and more will come crawling out of the woodwork. Kym and Jamie are managing to put on a brave face in public," a source told The Mirror.
"But she is telling her mates she fears it will only be a matter of time before more girls try to cash in by claiming they've also had flings with Jamie.
"Jamie's been away in LA with his mates and he has been partying quite a lot. Nobody recognises him out there, unlike here, where he's likely to be caught out on anything he does."
Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor in Corrie, was recently forced to deny claims that she had been abandoned by Lomas as he looked for work in LA.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has reportedly delayed plans to marry fiancé Jamie Lomas.
Lomas was accused of kissing carer Katie Moores in his hotel suite after a night out, and Marsh is said to be worried that more infidelity claims will emerge.
The couple had been arranging an intimate wedding followed by a party and were hoping to secure a six-figure magazine deal.
Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, has told the former Hollyoaks actor that he has "one last chance to save our relationship", The People reports.
"Kym has chosen to believe Jamie's story that nothing happened because deep down, despite the hurt and anguish, she wants them to stay together. But the wedding is definitely on hold until this blows over," a source said.
"The first Kym knew about it was when she received a call from the ITV press office saying a story was going to be printed. She just thought the worst - that he'd cheated on her. It sounded like she'd made her mind up already - that he was guilty.
"She was screaming and in floods of tears. Jamie explained that absolutely nothing had happened that night. He was drunk and a few people went back to his room for drinks.
"To be honest, he doesn't actually remember much from the night out but is adamant he didn't kiss the girl or do anything. Kym told him he was an idiot for inviting people back to his room, even if there was a group of them and it was innocent.
"She's told him she needs to build up her trust with him again before they start *planning the wedding. What happened that night has sown a few seeds of doubt in her mind. It's his last chance. Kym is an independent woman and she won't let him mess her around."
Marsh was recently forced to deny claims that she had been abandoned by Lomas as he looked for work in LA.
Kym Marsh has reportedly signed a new three-year deal with Coronation Street. :crying:
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor, spent weeks negotiating the £500,000 deal, the Daily Star Sunday reports.
Producers of the ITV1 soap were apparently "desperate" to lock Marsh into a long-term contract and promised her a series of major storylines alongside the impressive salary.
Bosses are said to have been particularly impressed with her vocal talents as Elsie Tanner in the premiere of the Coronation Street musical Street of Dreams.
"Kym is a very talented actress and singer. The scriptwriters have come up with some pretty explosive stuff for her and wanted her signed up for three years so it could all play out," a source said.
"The majority of the cast are either on six-month or one-year contracts. They only ever give these types of deals out when they really want to keep someone.
"There are some major storylines coming up for her and people are going to see a completely different side to Michelle in the months to come."
Friends described the deal as a change in fortunes for Marsh, after fiancé Jamie Lomas was accused of cheating on her in recent weeks.

Bad news comes in three's Alan I predict the third piece will be The Poison Dwarf to replace Sue Johnstone as Stella's mum.
Kym Marsh has declared her intention to stay faithful to Coronation Street.
The Michelle Connor actress, who joined the soap's cast in 2006, seemed to confirm rumours that she has signed a new long-term deal.
"I've been here six years now and my loyalties lie with the show. I love it," she told Soaplife. "I enjoy being part of such a great cast.
"I like that it's a tightly-run ship and it keeps me near my home, which is important."
Marsh admitted back in January that she was unsure about her Corrie future, with her contract due to come to an end in June 2012.
The 35-year-old also called for the swift return of on-screen lover Keith Duffy, who left his Weatherfield role of Ciaran McCarthy in the autumn of last year.
"I loved working with Keith Duffy who played him, and I felt that Ciaran and Michelle went really well together," she said. "I'm hoping Keith might be back at some point."
However Marsh outlined her desire for Michelle to find a new boyfriend in the near future, adding: "I think it's about time she had a new romance. It's been a while since Ciaran left."
Michelle's son Ryan was officially recast earlier this month and will appear on screen later this year.
:crying:
CORONATION Street star Kym Marsh’s wedding to Jamie Lomas is back on – and they are believed to have sold the publicity rights for £500,000.
Kym, 35, and Jamie, 32, agreed the lucrative offer from a glossy magazine following a frantic bidding war between rival publications.
It is believed the deal will include coverage of the romantic ceremony and Kym’s hen night but not the honeymoon pictures.
Last month we revealed the *couple had put their wedding on hold after Jamie was pictured cavorting on a hotel bed with a pretty brunette.
Kym – the Street’s factory boss Michelle Connor – stood by the actor but insisted they would not marry until things blew over.
Now we can reveal the marriage is back on – and the couple plan to wed in August.
Kym agreed after Jamie begged her to let him show her his commitment to her and their family.
The former Channel 4 Hollyoaks star, who is due to head to Los Angeles to look for acting roles *later this month, even offered to sign a pre-nuptial agreement saying that he would not touch a penny of Kym’s cash.
But our source said: “Kym trusts Jamie and says she does not need the pre-nup.”
Kym is now trying to find a *wedding planner and a venue.
Our source said: “Summer *weddings are booked up years in advance so Kym and Jamie may have to have the official ceremony in a register office before moving on to the reception.
“But the magazine obviously wants glitz and glamour so it’s going to be an event to remember.”
Kym put her wedding plans on hold after Jamie – who played bad boy Warren Fox in the soap – was pictured on a hotel bed in Leeds with a pretty brunette.
Kym said: “I was annoyed, upset and angry – any woman would be.
“I was annoyed he had put himself in that situation, I was annoyed that there were girls in his room.
“But I trust him and there’s no way he would cheat. I’ve forgiven him for that mistake and he knows he was wrong.”
Now after intense conversations they are ready to tie the knot and Kym is believed to have looked at several venues, *including Jacobean mansion Crewe Hall in Cheshire.
A source close to the couple said: “The past few weeks have been make or break for Kym and Jamie.
“There was a lot of anguish and hurt but they are ready to walk down the aisle.
“This is the commitment they want to make to each other.”
“But it’s full steam ahead for Kym now and everyone’s getting really excited about the big day.”
It is believed family and friends will be at the ceremony including Kym’s co-star Brooke Vincent, 19, who plays Sophie Webster.
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter Polly will be there along with Kym’s children David, 17, and Emily, 14, and Jamie’s son Billy, six.
The source added: “Through all of this, Kym has realised how important her family are to her.
“She has got three kids and loves Jamie dearly. They have been through a lot together and are preparing for the biggest day of their lives.”
Kym met Jamie in 2008. They lost baby Archie, who died after being born 18 weeks prematurely in 2009.
The couple briefly split but rekindled their romance.
Talking about the wedding, Kym said: “I won’t go for the big princess style, that’s not very me. The dress won’t be white.”
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has hinted that the romantic spark between Michelle Connor and Steve McDonald will be revisited.
Michelle was recently tipped for a new relationship story, causing many fans to suspect that she would fall for Carla Connor's brother Rob Donovan when he joins Weatherfield.
However, Marsh told All About Soap: "New man? It's actually more of an old man. Could she be getting closer to a certain Mr McDonald again? Maybe!
"I think the viewers are expecting Michelle to get it on with Rob because he's the new guy, and the last person they're expecting her to pair up with is Steve."
Marsh said that Steve (Simon Gregson) will help Michelle out when she learns that her son Ryan is heavily involved in drugs.
"Steve has always been very much part of Ryan's life from when he was with Michelle before, and we'll see him being a massive support for her," she confirmed.
"Can you imagine what that would do to Tracy? The cat fights would be amazing. But I think Michelle would beat Tracy hands down!"
However, Marsh added that she would not want a reunion between Michelle and Steve to become too "serious".
She commented: "I don't want to see Michelle getting serious with a guy. I like her relationships as long as they keep them quite light and fresh. Michelle's a drifter, but I love that about her."
Michelle and Rob will be running the Underworld factory together after Carla flees Weatherfield with Peter Barlow in an upcoming storyline.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh (Michelle) has confirmed rumours that her on-screen son Ryan Connor will be at the centre of a drugs storyline.
Last month, show bosses announced that Ryan would be returning to the cobbles with new recruit Sol Heras playing the part. The role was recast after original actor Ben Thompson opted not to return to the ITV1 soap.
A comeback for Ryan had previously been rumoured for some time, with reports suggesting that he would feature in a drugs storyline with Sophie Webster.
Marsh has now told All About Soap that Ryan will indeed be a drug user when he returns to Weatherfield.
She explained: "Ryan's been off doing his own thing, and has got heavily involved in drugs. Michelle expected him to come back as the same kid he was before he went away, but that's not going to happen."
Asked how difficult this experience will be for Michelle, the actress replied: "Very hard. Michelle's got her work cut out trying to get Ryan back on the straight and narrow, but we'll see her get support from outside influences."
Ryan's return scenes will air in July.

I hope you bought the Daily Mirror yesterday, Alan. Kym Marsh is featured on the front cover of their telly magazine with an exclusive in depth interview inside. All fascinating stuff of course....
For example:
Question: Have you ever worried about that (referring to her on screen son Ryan falling in with the wrong crowd) with your kids?
Answer: Yeah, you do worry obviously. But I have to say that we have a very open relationship and we talk about everything. They come to me about the most intimate things, stuff that most kids would find embarrassing talking about to their mum."
That's because you're just such a wonderful mother, Kym, and obviously far better than every other mum in the country. How about writing a book on motherhood? It would sell in its millions? thousands? hundreds? Or maybe possibly just about reach double figures?

I remember Piers version of the truth. Faked photographs of British squaddies beating up Iraqis. Then of course there was the share dealing fiasco that he was involved in. We could of course go back to that fat old crook Cap'n Bob M.C.
That said, the right wing press in the UK is no better.

Coronation Street's Michelle Connor receives a nasty shock next week as she discovers that her wayward son Ryan has been experimenting with drugs.
Michelle catches Ryan (Sol Heras) red-handed in the toilets at The Rovers following a tip-off from David Platt, and is devastated to see how low he has stooped. Ryan later insists that the incident was just a one-off, but will Michelle be fooled?
Digital Spy recently caught up with Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle, to hear more about the storyline.
Are you glad to see Ryan back on the cobbles?
"Oh, I'm absolutely delighted that they've brought Ryan back - it's fantastic. It's another side to Michelle's life that's been missing for a little while now, so to have him come back is brilliant. He obviously brings a fair share of problems back with him, which has been enjoyable to play."
Has Sol been settling in well?
"He's settled in brilliantly. Obviously he was nervous on his first week, as everybody always is, but he's doing really well. It's got to be difficult coming in to play a character who has already been established by another actor.
"But I think it made things easier that Ben Thompson, who played Ryan before, had been gone for two years. That left room for Sol to put his own characteristics into the character, which Ryan may have picked up along the way. That's worked out well, because Ryan's personality has changed so much since we last saw him."
Have you been showing Sol the ropes during his early days on the show?
"Well, when you come here it can be quite confusing, as you have to check what days you're working, how many episodes you're in and what your call times are, so I did try to help him as much as I could with that side of things.
"I gave Sol a call to congratulate him once I knew he'd been cast as Ryan, and said that I'd be there if he needed anything. Everybody else here has been helpful with him, too - the guys in the office are so good at that kind of thing, so you're left with no confusion."
How does Michelle react when she discovers that Ryan has a drugs problem?
"She's devastated, angry and hurt. When Ryan went away to university, he was someone who always confided in her and she felt so close to him, because they'd grown up together in a way. Michelle was a very young mum and they've always been so close. It's like a slap in the face for Michelle to realise how much he's changed."
Have you enjoyed tackling such a topical subject matter?
"It's been a really tricky storyline, but it has been brilliant to do. I've filmed a lot of scenes recently where I've been raging! It can be quite hard to come down from that when you go home, but it's been really enjoyable too. I'm fortunate to be a part of this storyline, and hopefully we'll do it justice. It's a serious issue, so hopefully we'll have hit the nail on the head with it."
How have you prepared for the storyline?
"Well, the writers are always very, very good when it comes to research, so when something is written on the page, you can bet your life that they'll have gone through it with a fine tooth comb. That's the main thing, but obviously being a parent myself, I'm also able to imagine how that might be and how I would feel in this situation.
"Luckily, I don't have those issues - my son is almost 18 now and it's not his personality to be heading down that road, thankfully. But that doesn't stop you from being able to put yourself in that position as a parent, because I'd be devastated to be in Michelle's situation in real life."

Does Ryan apologise to Michelle when his drug habit is exposed?
"No, he fails to see his problem in the beginning - he doesn't see it as a big deal and he probably doesn't feel like he has anything to apologise for at that stage. So we're going through all the different stages - the lying, the denial and all the rest of it. It's going to be a journey for all the characters involved."
The situation also leads to some reignited chemistry between Michelle and Steve. Could that go anywhere?
"You never know - in Corrie it can go anywhere, can't it? Michelle has already been with Steve before, so if they were to get back together, we don't know how long that would be for and whether it would be plain sailing - because it never usually is! So who knows?
"For now, I think Steve is just doing his best to support Michelle throughout this situation with Ryan. He's absolutely there for her no matter what she needs, and he's trying to reassure her. He's her shoulder to cry on, really."
How is Michelle coping at the factory without Carla around?
"Life at the factory is plain sailing for Michelle at the moment - she enjoys being there and she enjoys working with Rob. I love that side of Michelle, because we have a lot of fun filming in the factory.
"There's a lot of light and shade going on in this storyline - it's not all going to be bleak for Michelle, as there's a lot of comedy aspects that run through other parts of her life. Michelle gets some relief at the factory and is able to get her head into work."
Would you say there's a chemistry between Michelle and Rob, too?
"There is a little bit of chemistry between them, but I don't know if that would ever go anywhere or what that situation is. But there is definitely a spark there between them. I think we'll have to wait and see with that one!"
Have you also enjoyed working with Marc Baylis, who plays Rob?
"Marc is fab. From the second he walked onto set, he fitted in like part of the furniture. It's funny, because we obviously see a lot of people come and go at Corrie over the years, and you can tell instantly who's going to stay.
"Marc and Sol have both been dropped right into the deep end when it comes to storylines. Sometimes I think that's better, because you don't have time to think - you've just got to get on with it. It already feels like we've known Marc forever and he's so easy to work with. He's already like an annoying brother to me!"

Is it strange not having Alison King around on set at the moment?
"Oh yeah, we miss her so much. She's such a great person and she's nothing like Carla. She's completely bonkers in the best possible way, and she's one of my best friends. I get on so well with her, so I'm missing her loads."
Keith Duffy recently said that he'd be interested in returning as Ciaran at some point. Would you like to see him back?
"Definitely. I was gutted when Keith left, because the writers had such good ideas for our characters. I think the plan was always to keep them together, because they were going to have a very tempestuous relationship and it was always going to be like that.
"Keith left because he has a lot of family commitments, which is understandable, but it was a shame because we'd only really begun with our storylines and then he was going. So I'd love to see him come back. Whether they'd put us together again is another matter - it depends where Michelle is by then. But I'm sure him returning would stir things up."
The papers also said recently that you'd landed a new three-year contract with Corrie. Is it true that you've signed up for that long?
"Well, I have just signed another contract which will take me up until at least next June, but after that, we'll just have to wait and see. No-one ever really knows how long they're going to stay for past a year, because that's the contract that you sign. But I'm definitely here for another year!"

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has admitted that she hopes her character Michelle Connor never marries.
The Weatherfield actress believes that her character's turbulent love life is crucial to her popularity.
"I don't think I'd like to have a wedding," she told this week's TV Times. "I like Michelle on her own; it's more interesting."
Michelle, who was previously engaged to Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy), soon rekindles her romance with Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), with whom she once lived in the Rovers Return.
"It is nice to work with Simon again," Marsh added. "We were chuffed when we found out because we enjoyed working together."
Speaking to Digital Spy last month, the star renewed her call for the return of ex-fiancé Ciaran, and hinted at a "spark" between Michelle and newcomer Rob (Marc Baylis).
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has accepted a caution after her rubbish was found illegally dumped.
The actress, who plays Weatherfield's Michelle Connor, had been due to appear before magistrates today (August 8) after a number of her soap scripts were recently found among bags of abandoned refuse.
However, Manchester City Magistrates Court this afternoon heard that Salford City Council - which was bringing the prosecution against the 36-year-old - had decided to withdraw the charges.
The decision was made after Marsh accepted the caution and agreed to pay the council's clean-up costs, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Marsh insists that she did not dump the scripts personally, but fell victim to a conman who she paid to dispose of rubbish following renovation work at her home.
Paul Scott, prosecuting the case on behalf of the council, told the court: ''In light of new evidence and information, the city council has reviewed this case following detailed representations made by the defendant.
''After careful consideration, it is believed it would not be in the public interest to continue with the prosecution. The defendant has admitted her guilt to this charge by accepting a simple caution."
He added: "It is unlikely the offence will be repeated and we have asked for the matter to be withdrawn."
Meanwhile, a Coronation Street spokesperson said: "Kym's relieved the prosecution has been withdrawn and she's now able to draw a line under this matter.
"Kym paid someone in good faith to remove the rubbish but realises now she should have asked to see a licence. Kym was horrified to discover her rubbish had been illegally dumped and has offered to pay for the cost of the clean-up that resulted."

However, Manchester City Magistrates Court this afternoon heard that Salford City Council - which was bringing the prosecution against the 36-year-old - had decided to withdraw the charges.
The decision was made after Marsh accepted the caution and agreed to pay the council's clean-up costs, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Marsh insists that she did not dump the scripts personally, but fell victim to a conman who she paid to dispose of rubbish following renovation work at her home.
Paul Scott, prosecuting the case on behalf of the council, told the court: ''In light of new evidence and information, the city council has reviewed this case following detailed representations made by the defendant.
''After careful consideration, it is believed it would not be in the public interest to continue with the prosecution. The defendant has admitted her guilt to this charge by accepting a simple caution."
He added: "It is unlikely the offence will be repeated and we have asked for the matter to be withdrawn."
Meanwhile, a Coronation Street spokesperson said: "Kym's relieved the prosecution has been withdrawn and she's now able to draw a line under this matter.
"Kym paid someone in good faith to remove the rubbish but realises now she should have asked to see a licence. Kym was horrified to discover her rubbish had been illegally dumped and has offered to pay for the cost of the clean-up that resulted."
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has confirmed that she is taking husband Jamie Lomas's surname following their recent wedding.
The pair tied the knot at Nunsmere Hall Hotel in Cheshire last month after being engaged for over two years.
Writing on Twitter today (October 3), Kym told fans: "So I've decided to change my name officially to Kym Lomas. Won't be on the credits for Corrie for a few weeks as we film 6 weeks ahead."
The actress's soap character Michelle Connor has more tough times ahead in the coming weeks as she will soon hear that her son Ryan is expecting a baby with scheming Tracy Barlow.
To make matters worse, Ryan will also be involved in dramatic car accident scenes airing later this month.
Kym and Jamie first became an item in 2008.
Coronation Street star Kym Lomas has revealed that her character Michelle Connor will be "devastated" when a scheming Steve McDonald dumps her in a forthcoming storyline.
Steve (Simon Gregson) ends his relationship with Michelle next week, but only as part of an elaborate plan as he thinks he can play his twisted ex Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) at her own game.
The Weatherfield cabbie believes that Tracy will dump Michelle's son Ryan (Sol Heras) if she no longer sees Michelle as a threat, putting an end to her latest manipulation.
However, Steve risks his entire future with Michelle by refusing to confide in her about what he is up to.
Lomas told Soaplife: "She's devastated. There's been a lot of stress on their relationship recently. They've had the ongoing problems with Tracy, Ryan's been difficult to deal with, and Michelle's just been really stressed out. She's at a very low emotional ebb and Steve dumping her is the last straw.
"He tells Michelle it's because all they do is argue and fight. Michelle's stunned. Let's face it, Tracy's only dating Ryan to annoy Michelle because she's now with Steve and Tracy wants him back. Michelle thinks Steve's now giving Tracy what she wants - that Tracy has won."
When Steve finally reveals to Michelle that the shock dumping was fake, it's uncertain whether she will accept him back.
Lomas added: "She's really angry and annoyed when Steve reveals the thinking behind his plan. She thinks he's an idiot for not telling her what he was doing.
"He begs her to forgive him, but at first she really doesn't want anything to do with him. Michelle's not the most forgiving person, so he has a lot of work to do to make amends. It's grovelling time for Steve - yet again."
Coronation Street continues tonight (October 10) at 7.30pm on ITV1.
CORRIE’S Kym Lomas was left red-faced after she accidentally directed friends and fans to internet PORN.
Her Twitter gaffe left people clicking on to a smutty adult site specialising in mums when they thought they were having a look at a happy snap posted by Kym of her mother Pauline.
Kym, who plays factory boss Michelle Connor in the ITV soap, couldn’t believe it when people started to point out what she’d done.
She tweeted: “What are you talking about!” before someone informed her she had accidentally typed a dot before a message to her mum and Twitter had mistaken it for a link to a website.
“It’s a rudey rudey site,” one follower told her and others also latched on to the clanger.
It was pointed out to Kym that it was the message to her mum that caused the “naughty” problem.
A girl told her: “Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that @msm4rsh has accidentally tweeted a link to a porn website? Imao! Bless you Kym! xx” The actress commented: “How could I have done that and why would anyone want to point that mistake out to everybody” before removing the tweet.
A pal said: “Kym didn’t see the funny side of it being highlighted to everyone. If anything it will make her type a bit more carefully in the future!”

CORONATION Street star Kym Marsh is staying on the cobbles — after landing a fat pay rise.
The six-figure one-year deal makes Kym, 36 — who plays knicker factory boss Michelle Connor — one of the soap’s highest paid stars.
An ITV source said: “The producer was determined to get Kym to stay on the show. He’s a big fan and has some big storylines planned for her in the next 12 months. It’s a huge coup to have her for another year. We are absolutely delighted.”
There were fears the actress might follow her husband — ex-Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, 32 — to Los Angeles where he has been on a two-month trip hunting for work.
It was his second visit this year to audition for big screen roles but pals said his search has once again proved fruitless.

Daily Star Sunday newspaper today saying that Michelle Connor is set to become the new Rovers landlady
Coronation Street's Kym Lomas has revealed that she would love Keith Duffy to return to the soap.
Duffy left the ITV soap in 2011 after two spells playing Ciaran McCarthy. He first appeared in 2002 as Peter Barlow's friend before leaving three years later. He then returned to the role in 2010.
Lomas has confessed that the whole cast miss the Boyzone star, reports The Herald.
She said: "I miss Keith. We all do. It was like someone had died when he went."
She admitted that she was particularly close to Duffy due to the amount of screen time they shared. Her character Michelle dated Ciaran during his last period on the soap.
"Obviously because we did so many scenes together we grew very close. He is a great laugh and a real larger-than-life character," the 36-year-old said.
"We do stay in touch - texting and all that. And I really want to come back to Ireland when he's in a play.
"I'm hoping he'll see the light and come back to us. But he can't just expect to run back into Michelle's arms - that's not going to happen," she added.
Duffy has spent time performing with Boyzone since his on-screen departure. They are scheduled to embark on a new tour later this year.
Coronation Street next airs on Monday (April 15) at 7.30pm on ITV.
Kym Lomas has signed a new contract that will keep her in the show for at least another year.
Lomas, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, has revealed that she would love to stay for longer and be an icon.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: "I'm really happy, I've just signed for another 12 months and that takes me to my eighth year. I'd love to stay and try to become a Corrie icon."
Lomas has also revealed more about her new business venture, which she has launched with her husband, ex-Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas.
Their agency will hire out their celebrity pals for appearances at corporate and nightclub events.
Speaking about the new venture, Lomas said: "I've set up our own VIP agency. It launches soon.
"It's public appearances and whatnot. We're excited about it because it's fingers in different pies.
"Jamie is away in LA but when he's back he wants to focus on different things as well as the acting game – the same as me really."
That should make Alan's day :lol:
Kym Lomas has dismissed rumours that she is to star in a Snoop Dogg video, quipping that she wishes it was true.
It was reported earlier today (June 11) that Snoop approached the Coronation Street actress to appear in one of his videos.
The rapper - currently performing as Snoop Lion - is famously thought to be a fan of the ITV soap, and it was claimed that he had asked mutual friend David Gest to request an appearance from Lomas in one of his videos.
Lomas recently stated that she would like Keith Duffy back on the soap as Ciaran McCarthy
Coronation Street star Kym Lomas has admitted that she doesn't want another love split for her character Michelle Connor.
Michelle is currently settled with boyfriend Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), but there could be tougher times ahead for the couple later this year.
Show bosses recently confirmed that a crisis faced by Steve and Michelle will lead to the return of Beverley Callard as Liz McDonald in October.
Speaking on ITV's Loose Women about Callard's return, Lomas enthused: "I can't wait. I'm so, so excited. The great thing is that obviously I'll get to work with her because I'm with Steve."
She added: "I'm having such a ball [at Corrie] and I'm so lucky, so fortunate. I love Michelle and Steve together and I hope they keep us together."
In the meantime, Michelle has more dramas on the way this week as she discovers that her son Ryan (Sol Heras) isn't committed to his relationship with teen mum Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote).
Lomas explained: "I don't think Michelle was that keen on that relationship in the first place. She felt that Ryan had broken up a family and she wasn't pleased. She knows her son, she knows what he's like. But I think she's more angry now that he's not just being honest with her. He's a naughty, naughty boy!"

CORRIE’S Kym Lomas is fighting to save her second marriage.
Kym, 37 — divorced from actor Jack Ryder — is living apart from EastEnder hubby Jamie 11 months after they wed.
The lovebirds decided to “take time out” from their marriage following a series of spectacular rows.
The pair, who wed last September, still hope to save their troubled romance.
But they are living apart — even when EastEnders star Jamie returns to Manchester from filming his role in London as Jake Stone.
Last night a well-placed source said: “It’s true, they are spending some time apart while they work through their problems.
“They’ve not split up but have been going through a tricky time — arguments and various other things. They have always had a tempestuous relationship and have been through a hell of a lot.
“There isn’t really one big issue at the heart of this, just the usual resentments and arguments which can build up in a marriage.”
News of the couple’s troubles comes after it emerged they have put their marital home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, up for sale.
Initially it had been thought the five-bedroom property, valued at £650,000, was too big for them.
Kym — who plays Corrie factory boss Michelle Connor — wed 33-year-old Jamie last September in a star-studded ceremony at Nunsmere Hall, Cheshire.
Her Weatherfield co-stars Michelle Keegan and Samia Ghadie were among celebrity guests.
But just 11 months later the couple’s marriage has plunged into serious turmoil.
The source added: “Obviously the fact that Jamie went out to Los Angeles a few times to find work hasn’t helped the situation.
“Jamie is not at the marital home — even when he’s back in the North West. They’ve been living apart for about a week.
“They are utilising the fact that Jamie is filming in London to have a bit of space while they try to work through it.
“The marriage is by no means over and they are hoping they can come through this.
“But one thing is certain, there is no one else involved.”
Kym had previously married another EastEnders actor — heartthrob Jack Ryder — in 2002.
But in March 2008, the couple revealed they were separating and in August the following year, announced their divorce.
Kym got engaged to former Hollyoaks hunk Jamie later in the same year.
But they were left heartbroken by the death of their son Archie just minutes after he was born.
The couple also had to overcome a scandal in April 2012 when The Sun revealed how Jamie cavorted on a hotel bed with a pretty brunette.
He kissed mum-of-two Katie Moores, 26, in his suite in Leeds at 4am after a night out.
Katie said Lomas told her he was single despite being engaged.
Photos taken on the night show the actor with his arm around single mum Katie. He shared a kiss with her as they sat drinking and play-fighting

Coronation Street star Kym Lomas is being lined up to become landlady of the Rovers Return.
Show bosses are believed to have tempted 37-year-old Kym, who plays Michelle Connor, with big money and a long-term contract.
She joined the cast in 2006 and is popular with viewers. A friend said: “It has always been a dream for her.
“To land the Rovers job could mean she will be there for ever. Bosses love her, fans love her and she loves Corrie – so it all adds up nicely.”
Current landlady Stella Price, played by Michelle Collins, is set to move out when Michelle’s boyfriend Steve McDonald matches the asking price for the pub.
The move coincides with the return Beverley Callard as Steve’s mum and former Rovers boss Liz McDonald.
But it will be Michelle’s name above the pub door - delighting her fans who will see her quit her job at the factory to start pulling pints.
“Kym adores doing Corrie and we are expecting her to become cemented as an iconic Rovers landlady,” the insider added.
The London-born Michelle, 51, settled in after a bumpy arrival with viewers turned off by her “dodgy” southern accent.
She also regularly agonised about travelling between her home in London and a place in Manchester.
And she had continuing concerns for her teenage daughter Maia who was in the middle of her crucial GCSE’s.
Michelle said: “Stella Price has been a revelation to play. So much has happened to the character since we discovered she was Leanne’s (Jane Danson) real mum.
"From catching Karl (John Michie) with barmaid Sunita (Shobna Gulati) to her near death experience in the Rovers fire – I’ve loved playing Stella and will be very sorry to leave her behind.
“Creatively I need to play other roles and I’ve ambitions as an actress that I’d like to fulfill. I’m also looking forward to spending more time with my daughter Maia.”
Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn said: “We wish Michelle every happiness as she moves on to pastures new.
“Her character has made a tremendous impact and has deservedly earned her the status of a classic Coronation Street matriarch.”

Coronation Street's Michelle Connor will be faced with some big surprises over the next few weeks as her partner Steve McDonald is plotting for them to take over the Rovers Return.
Steve (Simon Gregson) is currently making his plans in secret following Stella Price's decision to sell the pub, and his plot will lead to the return of his mother Liz after she helps him with the purchase.
Here, Kym Lomas - who plays Michelle - previews the changes ahead in Michelle's life as Steve drops his bombshells!
Michelle has to say goodbye to Ryan this week. How does she feel about that?
"It's a bit of a bombshell. She's very upset about his decision to go, especially as he's decided to go to Ibiza. She's very worried about what sort of lifestyle he'll be living out there, as she thinks he's going to be partying all the time and be led astray, which is not what Ryan needs.
"Michelle is right to worry because he's easily led and slightly wayward. But then there has to come a point where she releases him from her apron strings and let him do his own thing."
Does she feel as though things are slipping through her fingers?
"Well yes, she does. Ryan's gone and she's no longer in the factory. Michelle feels lost, really."
When Steve starts acting suspiciously, does Michelle think he might be planning a proposal?
"I don't think she has any idea really. She knows he's up to something, but I don't think Michelle suspects he'll propose because they've been there once before. She's just confused really - she can't put her finger on what it is!"
Steve eventually drops the bombshell that he's bought The Rovers for her. How does she feel about that?
"Well he doesn't tell her for ages because he thinks it's going to be a great thing, what with Ryan gone and Michelle out of the factory. Steve spies this opportunity and thinks it would be a great idea to buy this for Michelle as a gift, and then she'll feel much better about herself.
"He does this all as a secret so when Michelle finds out, she's absolutely fuming that he's made such a big decision without consulting her first. Buying a pub is quite a big decision to make really, isn't it?"
Once she's back behind the bar, does she feel happy again?
"Well Michelle has taken up a job behind the bar with Stella before she finds out that Steve has bought the place. She's a bit fed up that she's pulling pints again, but at least she's doing something that she feels she's good at and that people appreciate her for. But when she finds out about Steve's purchase, she does go a bit mad.
"Michelle didn't really have the best time last time they were there, so she has bad memories of the place really. But then she does come round to the idea and is pleased that her and Steve are now co-owners of The Rovers and she has some purpose. She feels as though she's come home."
Michelle's dad Barry turns up unannounced without her mum. Why is that?
"Well, when Michelle's dad arrives, she still doesn't know about the pub. Steve's still trying to get all the details sorted before he tells her. So Ryan's just left and suddenly her dad turns up.
"Michelle is obviously confused as to why her mum isn't with him, but Barry gives her some story about her being on a spa break. Michelle smells a rat and knows something isn't right. She's left confused by all of that and is determined to get to the bottom of it."
When she does unravel the mystery, Michelle discovers that her parents are getting a divorce, doesn't she?
"Yes, Michelle learns that her mum has said she wants a divorce, but at this stage Michelle doesn't understand why as no reason has been given. She's so upset about it and knows there must be some reason why this decision has suddenly been made. Once again, Michelle is determined to find out what's going on."
How is Michelle going to feel about Liz returning?
"Well, she's going to be absolutely fuming because it'll be something else Steve has kept from her! She does feel as though her life is being decided for her and as though Steve is pushing her around. However, I do think Michelle and Liz will quickly resume their friendship and will form a united front. I imagine a lot of comedy is to come out of them ganging up on Steve!"
Are you looking forward to working with Bev and Simon as a trio once again?
"Well, I work a lot with Simon anyway but the dynamic in The Rovers is going to be brilliant with Bev coming back. The pub is really at the heart of the show and I think we can expect a lot of humour to come out of it."
were Michele's parents not catholics - or have I made that up - if so Divorce??!!

Corrie's Kym Marsh has been dumped by her hubby after she cheated on him with a co-star, reports the Sunday People.
Devastated EastEnders actor Jamie Lomas found out about his wife’s *torrid five-month affair with Coronation Street doctor Oliver Mellor in the past few days.
He told friends yesterday the marriage is over and “there is no going back”.
A source close to Jamie, 33, told the Sunday People: “Kym has been having an affair since February and kept it a secret. Jamie found out a few days ago and is absolutely *devastated. It was a bolt out of the blue.
“He doesn’t think there is any opportunity for them to get back together. He’s told her it’s over.”
Jamie has a two-year-old daughter Polly with Kym, 37, who also has two older children. Now he has moved out of their family home in Manchester to stay with pals in London.
Kym began her fling with 32-year-old Oliver, – who is now dating glamour model Rhian Sugden, 27 – during a boozy cast night out on Valentine’s Day, when onlookers said they had eyes for no one else.
At the time Oliver’s character Dr Mark Carter was appearing in racy striptease scenes and they had begun flirting on the Coronation Street set.
They reportedly had trysts at the home of a mutual friend in Manchester.
The source said: “For Jamie the worst part is that it all started while he was away in America trying to get jobs and bring in more money for the family.
“He is really worried about the kids and how they are feeling. He’s not in a good place. He is furious.
“He is no angel but he can’t believe she kept it secret for such a long time.”
As news of the bust-up spread, Kym last night pulled out of a charity bash “due to unforeseen circumstances”. The former Hear’Say star was set to sing alongside her daughter Emily, 15, at a ball in Merseyside.
Kym and Jamie have had a rollercoaster relationship since they first got *together in 2008. They split briefly a year later, then last year he was caught kissing a girl in a Leeds hotel room. But the couple went on to marry four months later. They split again in July this year and put their home up for sale, but got back together within weeks.
Kym has admitted that spending so much time apart while Jamie filmed his new role as Jake Stone in EastEnders had put a strain on their relationship.
Kym and Jamie’s split over her fling with a co-star is just the latest in a string of ill-starred romances between soap stars

I read on another forum about Kym Marsh posing with her dead baby's ashes in her official wedding day photos. I had a look on google images and, sure enough, there she was posing sadly with the urn. I've never seen anything more distateful :angry: Are there no lengths that woman won't go to for attention??!!! :thumbsdow
