Kym revealed the mystery illness had left her bedridden amid fears she had salmonella poisoning
KYM Marsh has revealed she was so ill she had to be taken to hospital because doctors feared she had salmonella poisoning.
The mum-of-three felt as though she’d been “hit by a truck” and is still waiting for test results to determine what was the cause.
Soap star Kym told OK! Magazine in her column: “I felt so awful I had to go to the Alexandra Hospital in Manchester.
“I was shaking, I felt terrible and like I’d been hit by a truck.
“They ran lots of tests on me and I’m still waiting for the results, but doctors think it could be Salmonella poisoning, which is really serious.
Actress Kym went on to reveal the ordeal had been “terrifying” and caused her to be bed-ridden for four days.
She said: “The ordeal has been terrifying and I’ve never felt so ill!
“I was bed-ridden for four days. The whole family rallied around me, David and Emilie had to get Polly up and ready for school because I couldn’t get out of bed.”
Kym is set to leave Coronation Street after 13 years playing Michelle Connor in the long-running soap.
