Kym Marsh declares 'we're back baby' as former Coronation Street co-star spots issue with exciting update

Kym Marsh has offered an exciting update to fans - but her former Coronation Street co-star jokingly spotted a problem. The actress has recently been busy travelling up and down the country in the cast of Take That's jukebox musical Greatest Days.

To head off on the tour, in which she played Rachel as her lookalike daughter Emilie Cunliffe played a younger version of the same character, Kym had to make a double exit. Taking to social media back in March, the 46-year-old revealed she'd had her last appearance on BBC One's Morning Live before also confirming she'd finished her stint on Waterloo Road.

The former Coronation Street star joined the rebooted BBC One school drama earlier this year as hard-strapped dinner lady Nicky Walters whose two children also attend the school. "So my Waterloo Road journey is pretty much done," she typed alongside a selfie at the time.

"What a journey it’s been. So many friends made, so many laughs, so many great memories!! I just want to take the chance to thank everyone behind the scenes for the incredible job they do and for supporting me throughout the journey.

"The writers for writing such a brilliant character, Nicky is epic!! And also costume and makeup for always being so brilliant. Special thanks to my girl @mandyknightmua for painting my face for a whole year, making Nicky come to life when I look like I’ve been dug up at 6.30 in a morning hahah! And for not looking at my eye [crying laughing emoji] (in joke there) Mandy will get it hahah!"

She rounded off her post: "So for now Nicky Walters clocking off! Hopefully back soon!!!" And Kym has now confirmed that she is officially back on
