Former Hear'Say singer and actress Kym Marsh had fans talking this week after sharing a bold holiday snapshot that showcased her incredible physique. The 49-year-old star posted a sunbathing selfie to her Instagram Stories, giving followers a glimpse of her tropical getaway.
A Daring Poolside Post
In the eye-catching photo, Kym posed confidently in a strapless, frilly bikini featuring a vibrant cherry print. The two-piece perfectly highlighted her toned figure as she relaxed on a sun lounger, angling the camera to capture her look. She accessorised with a pair of oversized sunglasses, hiding her face from view.
The scene was one of pure relaxation, with a book and a refreshing piña colada cocktail placed beside her. She simply captioned the image 'Chilling ❤️', perfectly summing up her serene mood. The post quickly set pulses racing among her dedicated followers.
Blossoming Romance with New Beau
This sunny escape comes hot on the heels of Kym stepping out publicly with her new boyfriend, Tom, for the first time earlier this month. The loved-up couple were spotted enjoying a day out together in the picturesque town of Bakewell.
Kym officially confirmed their relationship back in October, posting a series of intimate pictures of the pair sharing a passionate kiss. She clearly identified her new man by tagging his Instagram account, @tom_dicko_. His social media bio reveals an adventurous spirit, listing impressive challenges like completing The Welsh 3000s, which involves climbing all 15 mountains over 3000ft in Wales within a 24-hour period.
A source close to the couple revealed to The Sun that things are moving quickly. 'They have already enjoyed a night away together and he's met her daughter Emilie,' the insider shared. 'He's also been on nights out with her pals and was the centre of attention, which is no surprise because he's so hunky. Kym always throws herself fully into everything – including relationships.'
Moving On From Past Relationships
This new chapter with Tom follows Kym's split from Samuel Thomas in February. Their six-month whirlwind romance had drawn attention due to their 19-year age gap, with Samuel being the same age as Kym's eldest son. She had previously felt compelled to defend the relationship after announcing he was her 'soulmate'. The pair met while touring with 101 Dalmatians: The Musical, but sources indicated the relationship became harder to maintain once the tour concluded.
Prior to finding Tom, it was reported that Kym had joined the dating app Hinge. Her profile allegedly stated she was looking for a partner who could make her 'laugh until her ribs hurt' and described an ideal Sunday involving lie-ins, dog walks, and roast dinners. She also humorously noted that dating her was like 'being on the Truman Show, but it’s never boring!'
The Coronation Street star is a mother to four children: David, 30, and Emilie, 28, with ex-partner David Cunliffe; 14-year-old Poppy with ex-husband Jamie Lomas; and her son Archie, who was born 18 weeks premature in 2009 and tragically passed away shortly after birth.
