Kym Marsh reveals she used to fancy her Coronation Street husband Simon Gregson
The actress says she used have a poster of him on her wall when she was younger
KYM Marsh has admitted she used to have a crush on Simon Gregson – who now plays her husband in Coronation Street.
The pair play Steve and Michelle Macdonald in the hit ITV soap, but the 40-year-old actress says she used to consider him a “heart-throb”.
The pretty brunette told the Mirror: “I actually had a poster of Simon on my wall when I was younger, which is so weird.
“He was a heart-throb in the day!
“I love Simon, he’s gorgeous like a teddy bear, he’s lovely.”
But she did admit filming with Simon can be tricky, as he is such a joker: “Sometimes it’s really difficult. Jane (Danson) said ‘I’ve no idea how you do it’.
“It’s a skill, you have to look slightly past him so you can’t see his face. We just try to complement each other and make it funnier. We enjoy working together.”
When asked about Simon’s wife in real life, Emma Gleave, Kym said: “Have you seen Simon’s actual wife though? She’s beautiful!”
But it isn’t only Simon who the former Hear’Say singer is fond of, she also talked highly of Beverley Callard, who plays her mum-in-law Liz: “She’s amazing. Beverley is such a giggler.
“If I have to tell her someone’s died or something she’ll lose it and start laughing. We get told off sometimes!”
Kym also has no plans to leave the soap anytime soon: “Pop Stars was filmed at the Coronation Street Granada studios so I’ve kind of went full circle really. I’m very happy.
“I really feel I’ve found my home.”
