Kym Marsh ditches wedding ring and wipes husband from social media after split

Kym Marsh has made her first public appearance since splitting from her husband on the same day she wiped his name from her social media.

The former Coronation Street star, 46, was last night back at work, hosting the Pride of Manchester Awards with TSB.

She was not wearing her wedding ring and hours before fans noticed she had deleted a reference to husband Scott Ratcliff’s from her Instagram.

Her biography used to read: “Mum to David, Emilie, Polly and Archie [heart emoji] YaYa to Teddy, Polly and Clay. Wife to Scott. Actor, presenter singer.” Kym, whose son Archie was stillborn, has removed “Wife to Scott”.

She looked stunning in a black gown at last night’s awards, which recognised ordinary people who became extraordinary in times of crisis.

Kym, who hosted the event at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, said: “I love hosting these awards and feel very honoured to have been asked again.

“You meet so many inspirational people. Getting to listen to their stories, and be inspired by them, is a special privilege.”

Kicking things off, Kym's daughter and budding singer Emilie took to the stage to perform a song, leaving her mum in complete awe as she said: "What about that performance?

"Voice of an angel - my little angel in fact, for those of you who didn't spot the resemblance, Emilie is in fact my daughter and I could not be prouder to follow her on to this stage."

Famous faces at the awards included England footballer Harry Maguire and his wife Fern, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, Strictly couple Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec and Love Island star Tanya Manhenga.

Kym and Army Major Scott, 34, married in October 2021. Kym’s former Corrie co-star Antony Cotton acted as Master of Ceremonies.

Her children David, 27, Emilie, 24, and Polly, 11, were there, with Scott’s daughter Renee, six, on the top table.

But after only 19 months together, Kym and Scott made the decision to split.

Their breakup is said to have been amicable and they reportedly had a “trial separation” just after their first anniversary.
