Former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh forced to 'shared packets of nappies' as a single mum

Kym Marsh has opened up about the struggles of being a single mum before she found fame.

The 46-year-old has two children with ex Dave Cunliffe, who she split with in 1999. David is now 27 and Emilie is now 25. She also has daughter Polly, 11, from her marriage to Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas. The award-winner married Scott Ratcliff, 34 – a major in the Parachute Regiment – in 2021.

Detailing her struggles, Kym said at her lowest points she had to share packets of nappies with her sister and stay with her parents when she didn’t have enough money to top up the electric meter. But insists her kids were always well-clothed and fed.
