Kym Marsh's proud parents and children hit the red carpet for Fatal Attraction after tough year

Kym Marsh made it a family affair as her parents and children headed to watch her in her latest role.

The former Coronation Street star has swapped the cobbles for the stage as her show Fatal Attraction came home to Manchester.

Kym, who played Michelle Connor in the ITV soap for 13 years, is currently starring in the production based on the classic movie.

Actress and singer Kym is playing Alex Forrest, the role famously played by Glenn Close in the 1987 box office hit, while ex- Corrie favourite Oliver is starring as her lover Dan Gallagher.

The show arrived at the Manchester Opera House earlier this week with the press night being held on Tuesday evening (February 22).

As well as many of Kym's former Corrie co-stars hitting the red carpet, after their recent happy news - with engagements and pregnancy announcement - her family were out in force to support her,

Last year, Kym shared the heartbreaking news her beloved dad had incurable prostate cancer.

In an update, which she shared with OK! Magazine last month, the former Hear'Say singer said Dave is responding to treatment and doing well.

Kym, who took some time off presenting Morning Live last year due to suffering from anxiety, was also backed at her latest performance by her children - son David and daughter Emily Cunliffe.

David was also joined by his partner Courtney Leach who he popped the question to back in November.

And earlier this month, BBC Morning Live presenter Kym was delighted as she revealed David and fiancee are expecting their first child together.

The loved-up couple posed together on the red carpet at Manchester Opera House ahead of becoming parents in August.

When sharing the news, proud mum Kym said: "I have been bursting to share this news for AGES!!!! I’m so very proud to announce I am gonna be a 'YaYa' again!!!

"My wonderful son @cunliffe890 and his equally wonderful fiancée @courtneyleac are expecting their first child in August! I am so very proud of you both and I cannot wait to meet my newest grandchild!! I love you all so much."

Kym is already a grandma - or YaYa as she likes to be known - to Emilly's son, Teddy, who is now two.

Emily and David didn't bring their half-sister Polly along to the show as it's not for the faint-hearted.

Mum-of-one Emily, who also got engaged to her man Mikey Hoszowsky after he popped the question at her 24th birthday bash in November, looked gorgeous in a pair of black leather trousers and hot pink blazer.

She also shared her pride for her mum in a post to her Instagram Story.

Sharing a photo of the outside of the theatre which featured posters for Fatal Attraction, Emily said: "You were incredible mum.

Kym's mum and dad were later snapped as their daughter and other famous faces headed to the Oast House In Spinningfields for an after party.

Fatal Attraction is at Manchester's Opera House for a week of performances up until February 26, 2022, as part of a nationwide tour.

Kym, however, is set to leave the show with Footballers' Wives star Susie Amy taking over the role of Alex when she concludes her run in the tour on March 5, 2022.

Footballers' Wives star Susie Amy will star in the drama as Dan's betrayed wife Beth.
