Kym Marsh, 48, seen for the first time since hitting back at criticism over new toyboy lover, 29, as she opens restaurant in Manchester
The actress, 48, confirmed her romance with fellow actor Samuel Thomas, a co-star in her touring production of 101 Dalmatians, in a social media post.
The couple, who met in a Lancashire pub, separated in 1999, shortly before Kym found fame as a contestant on TV talent show Popstars, where she would become a member of short-lived pop group Hear'Say. Two years later Kym was making an appearance on Top Of The Pops when she crossed paths with actor Jack Ryder, a household name at the time thanks to his role as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders. They had been together for less than two months when Kym fell pregnant with their first child, but tragedy struck when their son Archie Jay died moments after being born 18-weeks premature on February 11.
