Currently National Health Service staff are risking their lives as they help treat patients who have the deadly coronavirus.
After reading some abuse stories of people lashing out at NHS staff, who have been working long hours, Kym used her social media to hit out at the abusers.

Fans rushed to agree with Kym and share their stories.
One fan tweeted: “My other half is NHS and she said colleagues have had their cars vandalised and had things said to them about NHS thinking they’re so special.
“It’s [bleep] jealousy which I can’t really work out. Why be jealous of someone risking their lives to save others.”
A second tweeted: “They’ll be the first ones shouting for treatment when they’re ill though.”
Another fan added: “They shouldn’t be allowed help, end of…”
Agreed

Kym replied saying: “Agreed.”
