Former love rivals Kym Marsh and Stephanie Waring have night out after Corrie star ‘stole’ her man Dan Hooper

FORMER love rivals Kym Marsh and Stephanie Waring proved the power of friendship as they enjoyed a night out together.

Corrie star Kym, 40, tweeted a snap of the two cuddling up at the recent GEM Appeal Winter Ball in Manchester and wrote: "

Me and this little beauty @Steph_Waring funny night!!!"

And looking at the two smiling pals it would have been hard to spot any past problems between them.

But in 2014, Stephanie branded Kym as "heartless" for dating her former partner of five years - and the father of her daughter Lexi-Grace, Dan Hooper.

Stephanie, 38, said at the time: "I considered her a friend who I’ve known for years.

"I had no idea that she would ever do anything like this.

"He’s not just some guy that I went out with for a year. This is a man I spent half a decade with and have a child with."

Even Kym's Twitter followers were quick to comment on their past rivalries.

One said: "good to see you both bury the hatchet."

While another commented: "no more boy drama? #GirlPower".

Hollyoaks star Stephanie is now dating actor Micheal Greco, while Kym, who has been married twice, split from Dan in 2015.

Earlier this year, Kym revealed she'd moved in with her toyboy Matt Baker.

She told : “I feel happier than ever really. Matt and I are coming up to our one-year anniversary and the time’s flown by.

"In the past, I’ve made the mistake of rushing into relationships, but neither of us has put any pressure on this relationship and I’m happier because of it."
