Former ITV Coronation Street star could be set for long-awaited return

Kym Marsh has revealed she could be set for a return to Coronation Street.

She hasn't appeared in Weatherfield for three years, but said she hopes to return to the Cobbles at some point in the future.

She told the Mirror : "I love Coronation Street, it’s where I started and it gave me the biggest part of my career.

"I had wonderful times there, I made wonderful friends and I loved the character of Michelle, so I have no doubt I’ll go back at some point – as long as they don’t kill me off off-screen!"

Kym quit Corrie in 2019 after 13 years to focus on her family as her grandson was about to be born.

The TV personality currently hosts BBC's This Morning Live - and she revealed to the Mirror how she never considered presenting as a career path .

She added: "Yes. It’s not a path I particularly thought I’d go down, presenting wasn’t really on my agenda, but it’s something that has come along and I’ve grown to love. I got the opportunity to do it and hone my skills during a difficult time.

"When they came to me with Morning Live and said, “Can Kym come and present this show?” I said, “Really? Me? Why?” I was confused, but so grateful to be given the opportunity."

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV and ITV Hub
