Kym Marsh, 42, is set to star in explosive scenes this year but the actress has now revealed whether she will be on the ITV soap, Coronation Street for the long-term. In this week’s OK! Magazine she told the publication: “Career-wise I’d like to stay at Corrie. “There’s lots of drama in the new year, including a collapse in the underwear factory and there are reports that a much-loved character dies.” However the star remained tight-lipped on who will see their demise on the soap but admitted she did not want it be her “work besties” Alison King who plays Carla Connor or Antony Cotton who plays Sean Tully.
Kym added: “I’d hate it to be either of my work besties, Alison King and Antony Cotton.”
It came after show producer Iain MacLeod told the press, including Express.co.uk about how they have big plans for the soap.
He said: “We’re knocking the factory down in March in a colossal big stunt.
“At first it will appear to be an accident, but then it’ll be revealed to have been some kind of criminal enterprise that has cause the roof to fall in.
“This is a community story – everyone is out of a job, so they’ll be lots of lifestyle and financial stories spinning out from this story.”
Meanwhile, Kym has revealed her hopes for 2019, as she discussed her love life with boyfriend Scott Radcliffe.
Her Army Major beau is heading to Afghanistan and she wants to spend as much time with him as possible before he leaves.
However, she did admit the distance would “test” their relationship, as she spoke about their impending time apart.
She told OK! Magazine: “I’ve got him for a little while yet, but you can’t help but think about it.
“It’s just another test in our relationship and I think we’re strong enough to get through it.”
Scott and Kym were introduced to each other by their mutual friend Anthony Cotton, who also works on Coronation Street.
However, the actress has a lot to celebrate this New Year as the soap star is set to become a grandmother for the first time as her 21-year-old daughter, Emillie, is pregnant.
Millie and her boyfriend of six months revealed the gender of their unborn baby last month and the couple are expecting a boy.
Sharing a picture of the parents-to-be hugging moments after the reveal on Twitter, Kym captioned the sweet image: “IT’S A BOY!”
The former singer previously said she was excited to become a grandmother, but admitted she was unsure about being called a “grandma”.
Coronation Street airs tonight on ITV at 8pm
