Kym Marsh has revealed she’s selling the home she bought with ex-boyfriend Matt Baker as she’s “ready for a fresh start”.
The Coronation Street actress, 42, wrote in her new OK! Magazine column she also wants to buy a bigger property nearer her parents as she’s getting “stressed” living in house that’s too small for her family’s current needs.
Kym told fans she had intended to extend the house when she first bought it, but those plans fell through and it’s time for a change as the family are “living on top of each other.”
She wrote: “My personal circumstances have changed since I bought it last year and I’m ready for a fresh start.”
