David Marsh, father of actress and presenter Kym Marsh, has died following a long battle with prostate cancer. A spokesperson for the family confirmed his passing on Friday, stating he died peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones.
Kym Marsh, known for her roles in Coronation Street and Waterloo Road, as well as presenting BBC's Morning Live, had previously spoken publicly about her father's diagnosis in 2021. She took a break from the show that year due to anxiety attacks linked to his illness.
David Marsh appeared on Morning Live during Men's Health Week to urge men not to delay prostate examinations. In November 2023, Kym revealed that his cancer had spread to his bones, and the family were taking each day as it came.
The family has requested privacy during this difficult time, describing David as a much-loved husband, dad, grandad, great grandad, and friend.
