Kym Marsh gushes over lookalike daughter as she plans to return to music studio

Kym Marsh has shared a rare snap of her look-alike daughter Emilie.

The former Coronation Street star, 46, said her daughter, 25, was heading back in the recording studio today and "exciting things" are happening, as she shared a selfie of Emilie on her Instagram.

In the snap, Emilie, who supported her mum while she took part in Strictly Come Dancing, smiles slightly for the camera while wearing flawless make-up and wearing a black sequined top with her dark brown hair falling in waves.

Kym, who is also mum to David, David, 27, and Polly, 11, captioned the photo: "She’s just too beautiful though!! Back in the recording studio today for this one! Sooooo many exciting things happening! GO ON BABY!!!! Love you."

Kym's friends and followers rushed to comment, with S Club star Jo O'Meara writing: "Stunning."

Corrie star Sally Carman said: "Wowzers!", while one follower wrote: "Wow she was a proper cutie when she was a toddler and she’s grown into a real stunner."

The grandma of three replied: "She’s a beauty isn’t she xx."

Throughout Kym's Strictly journey with pro partner Graziano Di Prima, Emilie shared supportive messages, in one Instagram post calling the pair "beautiful humans."

On Kym's birthday, she shared a sweet message on Instagram, writing: "Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mumsy.. Thanks for being you and for always being there for us.

"You are one amazing human and we’re all so lucky and proud that you’re the best in the business and are ours.. You’re the best Yaya there is and we will love you forever!! Happy Birthday mum."

Kym replied: "Ahh thank you baby girl I love you all so much xxx"

Like her daughter, the TV presenter has exciting things going on in her career, as she takes on a new role as dinnerlady and single mum Nicky in revamped Waterloo Road.

It comes off the back of a very busy year for the star, as she got to the quarter-final of Strictly and continued presenting BBC's Morning Live.

Speaking to the Mirror earlier this month, Kym who became pregnant at 18 and raised David and Emilie on her own, said she could relate to Nicky.

The former Hear'Say singer said: “I was a single parent for many years when David and Emilie were little. I didn’t have anybody. I struggled to make ends meet. I begged and borrowed from family and friends to help me.

“Yes, there are elements of Nicky that I get and understand as I’ve been there too.”

Kym, who married Scott Ratcliff, 34 – a major in the Parachute Regiment – in 2021, said: “Nicky hasn’t always had it easy, she has struggled over the years.

“She owns her own salon, she had to close that down because of the pandemic. That’s very current.

“She’s struggling to make ends meet, she’s a single parent, she’s trying to hold down several jobs to make sure her children don’t go without. It’s very relatable right now with the cost-of-living crisis.
