Kym Marsh has surprised her dad with a tattoo in his honour following his incurable cancer diagnosis. The actress revealed her new tattoo on Father's Day, which is of an ice cream.
The 47 year old shared a photo of her new ink, as well as the sweet reason she decided to get it. In a clip on Instagram, the former Coronation Street actress says: "Because I never normally treat myself to anything on my birthday, I thought what would mean more to me than anything in the world.
"So, I decided to give myself a little reminder of you." Her dad, Dave, then asked: "Of me?"

Kym asked if he was ready as she then went over to him and showed him the surprise tribute reports The Daily Mirror. Dave joked about the ice cream :"Mine aren't as good as them!"
"How good is that?," Kym added. In her caption Kym wrote: " So…..I’ve had a new tattoo for my dad!!!
"Since his incurable cancer diagnosis he has been obsessed with ice cream! He literally has one every day!
"So I got an ice cream on the inside of my fore arm for him to remind me of my wonderful dad, Every time I look at it!! He’s the best ever! Love you dad."
Dave was sadly diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer after delaying getting a check-up during the pandemic. In June 2021 the cancer spread to his pelvis, spine, ribs and left leg.
At the time, he told The Sun: "My biggest hope is the treatment keeps working and gives me more time with my family. I want to be fit and well enough to walk Kym down the aisle after she recently got engaged."
This dream came true, as Dave walked Kym down the aisle in October 2021 when she married soldier Scott Ratcliff. Scott is Kym's third husband after she previously tied the knot with actor Jack Ryder in 2002 and former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas ten years later.
However, it was all over after just over a year-and-a-half as the actress announced the speculation is true last month. Breaking her silence on her personal life, Kym quipped: "It's just experience."
The pair wed at Sandhurst military academy in front of friends and family plus guests included telly star Carol Vorderman, her former Corrie co-star Antony Cotton acted Master of Ceremonies. Kym’s children David, Emilie and Polly all attended, with Scott’s daughter Renee on the top table.
