Strictly Come Dancing contestant Kym Marsh has enjoyed a romantic break with her husband Scott Ratcliff before taking to the dancefloor. The former Coronation Street star, who was the second star to be announced for the 2020 line-up after fellow former Corrie actor Will Mellor, shared a series of loved-up snaps of herself and Scott taking some precious time out together in the Lake District.
The smitten couple, who tied the knot last October, stayed in a holiday cottage called the Love Nest at The Swan Hotel in Newby Bridge and enjoyed some spa treatments. And Kym, who married the parachute regiment army major at The Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, said it was the 'perfect way to start Scott’s leave.'
Kym and Scott began dating back in 2018 after being introduced by their mutual friend Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully in Corrie. The actor had a special role at the ceremony as Master of Ceremonies and co-star Alison King, who plays Carla Connor, was a bridesmaid.
