Kym Marsh branded a 'firecracker' as she flashes tanned legs before starting exciting new project with lookalike daughter

Kym Marsh has been branded a 'firecracker' as she posed up a storm in her latest Instagram snaps. The former Coronation Street star was flooded with compliments after she took to the social media platform after enjoying a night out in London.

In the first snap, Kym could be seen looking away from the camera as she sat on a sofa in a floral pink mini dress. In the second image, the 46-year-old was up on her feet as she showed off her fabulous figure in the long-sleeved floral number which she paired with some pink heels while her light brunette and blonde locks had been styled into soft waves.

"Had a great time tonight…" Kym, who played Michelle Connor in ITV's Corrie for 13 years up until her exit in 2013, started the caption of her post. She added: "Thank you @sallyrowemua rrrrowebags for painting my boat rrrrace and sorting my wig out (in jokes) never stop laughing with this one."

Responding to the post, @weheartkym said: "You look amazing as ever." @mikesnape02 commented: "Gorgeous." @anthony.kerlin posted: "Swit swoo gorgeous." @martinthehammer_ replied: "Wowsers! Look at this firecracker." @tins.kirstycharlotte wrote: "Absolutely stunning." @lauralovesss added: "You look incredible."

It comes days after Kym finished not just one job but. two. The former Hear'Say singer had her last stint on Morning Live on Friday (March 31) alongside Ashley John-Baptiste. While appearing not to be a permanent exit, it was confirmed that Kym won't be fronting the BBC One show for a while.

Co-host Ashley said: "It's kind of like hello and goodbye for you because you're going on tour..." TO which Kym said: "I am. It's going to be a weird day for me. I am going on tour with my beautiful daughter Emilie... it's going to be a very exciting few months but I'm going to miss my [Morning Live] family very much. But I will be back."

But that wasn't the only goodbye Kym has to share. Later taking to Instagram with a selfie, Kym confirmed she'd also finished her stint on Waterloo Road. She joined the rebooted BBC One school drama earlier this year as hard-strapped dinner lady Nicky Walters whose two children also attend the school.

"So my Waterloo Road journey is pretty much done," she typed alongside the photo. "What a journey it’s been. So many friends made, so many laughs, so many great memories!! I just want to take the chance to thank everyone behind the scenes for the incredible job they do and for supporting me throughout the journey.

"The writers for writing such a brilliant character, Nicky is epic!! And also costume and makeup for always being so brilliant. Special thanks to my girl @mandyknightmua for painting my face for a whole year, making Nicky come to life when I look like I’ve been dug up at 6.30 in a morning hahah! And for not looking at my eye [crying laughing emoji] (in joke there) Mandy will get it hahah!"

She rounded off her post: "So for now Nicky Walters clocking off! Hopefully back soon!!!" It comes after Kym shared a selfie with her daughter as they prepare for their next big chapter together."

It comes as Kym ahs now headed off to start he new project as she shared some snaps on Tuesday (April 4) alongside her daughter, Emilie. It was announced in February that Kym and her lookalike daughter are to star together on stage in Manchester - playing the SAME character in hit Take That musical, Greatest Days.

The stage show follows a group of boyband fans that we first see as teenagers in the 1990s, and then through to the present day when they are in their 40s. It gives the talented mum and daughter the opportunity to star on stage as the very same chacter at different stages of her life. Kym, 46, will play Rachel, while Emilie, 24, will star as "Young Rachel" in the musical which celebrates the songs and fans of the Manchester-formed band Take That.

"First day of rehearsals for @greatest_days let’s do this @listentoemilie," Kym typed alongside the photos of the pair, with one showing the mother and daughter duo sharing a tight embrace. Her Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Graziano Di Prima was quick to respond to the post, writing in the comments: "So proud of you two."
