Kym Marsh packed on the PDA with new toyboy boyfriend Samuel Thomas as they arrived at Manchester train station on Sunday. 

The former Coronation Street star, 48, was seen out and about with the actor, 29, for the first time since announcing their romance. 

They were spotted kissing as they arrived at the station ahead of their 101 Dalmatians shows at The Palace Theatre. 

Kym cut a summery figure in a black floral minidress which boasted a plunging V-neckline and short sleeves. 

She kept comfortable in a pair of white trainers and shielded from the sun behind a pair of sunglasses. 

Meanwhile Samuel donned a blue checked shirt with jeans and trainers as he pulled a large suitcase and carried a backpack.

The pair seemed in high spirits as they stepped out together for the first time as they explored the city.  

Kym is currently playing Cruella de Vil in the UK & Ireland tour of 101 Dalmatians The Musical, alongside her boyfriend Samuel, who stars as Tom Dearly. 

It comes days after Kym was forced to defend herself for revealing she is dating Samuel who is the same age as her son.

At 29, Samuel – who she refers to as ‘the most amazing man ever’ – is the same age as her eldest child, David Cunliffe.

Kym’s friends are reportedly worried that her new romance with a younger man could all end in heartache if it ‘fizzles out’.

The soap star has the support of her pals who are apparently ‘happy’ she has found someone, but they are said to have concerns that she could end up hurt.

The actress is a parent to son David, 29, and daughter Emilie, 27, from a former relationship with builder David Cunliffe.

The couple, who met in a Lancashire pub, separated in 1999, shortly before Kym found fame as a contestant on TV talent show Popstars, where she would become a member of short-lived pop group Hear’Say.

Two years later Kym was making an appearance on Top Of The Pops when she crossed paths with actor Jack Ryder, a household name at the time thanks to his role as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders.

They married at St. Albans parish church, Hertford, in August 2002 and subsequently sold the pictures to OK! magazine for a reported £300,000.

But seven years later it was all over, with Ryder filing for divorce on the grounds of adultery following her apparent fling with second-husband-in-waiting Jamie Lomas

Friends initially feared Kym had rushed into her relationship with Lomas, who she started dating just four months after separating from Ryder.

The pair met on a train as they made their way to the 2007 TV Quick Awards, but casual chat soon turned into romance with the pair going public in 2008 – a year before her divorce.

They had been together for less than two months when Kym fell pregnant with their first child, but tragedy struck when their son Archie Jay died moments after being born 18-weeks premature on February 11.

The couple had happier news when they welcomed daughter Polly in March 2011.

They exchanged vows in September 2012 but were divorced by 2014, with Kym reportedly stunned by Lomas’ decision to break it off.

She remarried for a third time to Scott Ratcliff back in 2021.

The pair split 13 months following their wedding when Kym filed for divorce citing unreasonable behaviour.
