Kym Marsh managed to steal some time away from rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing and spend some 'needed' time with one of her grandchildren. Last month, during the launch of the BBC One dance contest, a chat between Kym and host Tess Daly had viewers gasping in amazement.
Tess said: "Unbelievably, you have just become a grandma for the third time. Congratulations." Kym thanked Tess before the presenter added: "I've never seen a more glamorous grandma in my entire life."
The Morning Live host said she was pleased to be taking part in the popular long-running show for the grandmas. "I am doing it for the grannies, definitely," she declared. "Has a granny ever won before?" Tess asked as Kym informed her they hadn't. "I could be the first!" she exclaimed.
Kym's daughter Emilie has a three-year-old son with her partner Mikey Hoszowskyj, who they welcomed in May 2019, and Emilie is also a step-mum to Mikey's daughter Polly. And in August Kym announced she had become a grandmother for the second time as her son David and his fiancée Courtney welcomed a baby boy Taking to Instagram, Kym shared a black and white video of her new grandchild fast asleep to share the news of his arrival.
She captioned it: "Introducing…..Clayton Lenny David Cunliffe!!! Our beautiful new grandson was welcomed into the world on 17.08.22 weighing a whopping 10lb 7oz!!"I am so very proud of our future daughter-in-law @courtneyleac for being such a warrior and of our son @cunliffe890 for being the most wonderful supportive partner. You are already incredible parents and he is a very lucky little boy!! We love you so much."

And taking to her Instagram Story on Wednesday morning, former Coronation Street star Kym posted a photo of her enjoying some time with baby Clay. She could be seen lying next to him in a black strappy top that showed off her back tattoo as the little boy lay on a play mat.
The actress, who played Michelle Connor for 13 years in the ITV soap before her exit, said: "Some nice YaYa and grandson time this morning." She then added: "I sooo needed," alongside a blue heart before tagging her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law. It comes after Kym gave her thousands of followers a glimpse into rehearsals.

The former soap star and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima posted a video of the pair getting into their moves for the Charleston. "New dance.. New #reel," the dancing couple captioned the post which saw Kym donning a pair of patterned workout leggings and a white vest top.
