Former Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh paid tribute to an important person in her life as she continues to move on from her former toyboy partner. The singer, 48, shared her support of her friend, who ran a 10k race on Saturday for Mind charity.

She uploaded a snap of her holding a banner which read: "Go Olliver's Army." Kym explained how her friend had took part in the run "in memory of her wonderful son Olliver". The star then pleaded with her followers to donate to the cause. She also shared the link to the fundraiser on her post.

It comes after the 48-year-old singer-turned-actress took to her Instagram to share a heartfelt message hours earlier. On her Stories, the former Hear'Say singer paid tribute to her dad, who died in January last year. The 78-year-old died after a long battle with prostate cancer.

Kym simply shared an image of her late dad sitting on a wall with yachts in the background. She captioned her post "Miss you dad," followed by six crying emoji faces.

Kym is currently on stage performing Abigail's Party. She described it as "such a pleasure" to be part of the productions on Monday. Taking to her Instagram grid, she told followers to come and see the show before it disappears.
