Corrie star Kym Marsh ‘heartbroken’ over latest news

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is said to be ‘heartbroken’ this weekend, with the revelation that she and fiancé Dan Hooper are over for good.

Kym and Dan shocked fans and followers everywhere last month, when they confirmed that they were on a break. Kym went on to make an emotional appearance on ITV’s This Morning, during which she admitted that the pair had been going through “a really difficult time”.

Now, sources have revealed that the couple’s seven-month engagement is off and they have split indefinitely.

“Kym is heartbroken. She carried on wearing her ring after she and Dan decided to take a break and hoped they’d get back together,” a Coronation Street insider said this weekend.

The insider added: “It has become clear there is no way back for them. There are a lot of feelings still there, but the engagement was too much, too soon, and seems to have driven a wedge between them. Neither was prepared to go through with the marriage when it wasn’t right.”

Kym and Dan’s 18-month romance was not without its fair share of controversy. Dan had just come out of a five-year relationship with Hollyoaks star Stephanie Waring – with whom he has a daughter – when he and Kym got together, resulting in a high-profile spat between the two actresses.

Let’s hope these two can remain friends.
