The Wedding Marsh ...Kym ties the knot
KYM Marsh surrenders sweetly into the arms of Major Scott Ratcliff – as the couple wed with a host of showbiz big guns to admire the ceremony. Radiant in a Carolina Herrera dress, the 45-yearold former Coronation Street star, 45, married Scott, 33, at Sandhurst military academy’s Royal Memorial Chapel. Corrie pal Alison King, 48, was a bridesmaid and other Street star guests included Jane Danson, Tristan Gemmill, Chris Gascoyne and Sally-Anne Matthews. Kym’s children, David, 26, Emilie, 24, and Polly, 10, grandson Teddy, two, and Scott’s daughter Renee, six, all helped to make the couple’s big day last weekend. The bridal party also included Danny Foster, from Kym’s old band Hear’Say, as well as her BBC Morning Live co-stars Gethin Jones and Janette Manrara.
Corrie star Antony Cotton, 46, who introduced Kym to Scott in 2018, was master of ceremonies. But twice-married Kym said the highlight of her day was being given away by her father Dave, 76, who has terminal prostate cancer.
The Way To Your Love singer Kym, who brought forward the wedding because of his illness, tells OK! magazine: “Both he and Mum were so excited. He said it’s the wedding they couldn’t wait for, as they adore Scott. “It really was the best day ever.
“It was exactly what we had hoped for and more.”
Poignantly, Kym wore a cherub necklace in memory of Archie, the son she lost when he was born 18 weeks premature in 2009.
Meltdown
She credits Scott for “saving” her at her lowest ebb, saying: “I got to a point where I’d been so unlucky in love. I honestly had a big meltdown and I don’t know what I’d have done had he not been there to pick me up.”
Kym has also taken time off work for anxiety attacks and although she is improving, she admits: “I still do have my moments.
“I’ve always just got on with it. But when you think about all the things that have gone on over the years – losing my son and various other things – I’ve never taken a proper break.”
