Kym Marsh has posted a heartbreaking tribute to her father David following his death earlier this month.

David died on January 12 after a ‘long battle with prostate cancer’, a spokesperson for the actress announced at the time.

Former Coronation Street star Kym had spoken publicly about her father’s prostate cancer on a number of occasions since she revealed his diagnosis in 2021.

‘It is with immense sadness that we confirm the passing of David Marsh,’ read the statement.

‘A much-loved husband, dad, grandad, great grandad, and friend to many, David passed away peacefully at home on Friday surrounded by his family.’

‘We are truly heartbroken and ask for privacy at this incredibly difficult time.’

Shortly after the news broke, Kym took to Instagram to share a lovely picture her with David. In the image, posted to her socials, the two of them have their arms wrapped around each other. ‘For the first time in my life….I have no words,’ she wrote.
