Michelle Connor-McDonald (Kym Marsh)

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He added: "It is unlikely the offence will be repeated and we have asked for the matter to be withdrawn."

Meanwhile, a Coronation Street spokesperson said: "Kym's relieved the prosecution has been withdrawn and she's now able to draw a line under this matter.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."

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.
