Coronation Street Star Kym Marsh Reveals Secret Health Scare

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is opening up about a secret health scare she had earlier this year. Kym, who plays Michelle Connor on the hit soap, said she was worried about her health after having dealt with a series of dizzy spells.

Kym says that because she was having a hard time staying balanced, her doctors sent her to the hospital for brain scans. Thankfully, her mystery illness wasn’t as bad as she initially thought it would be.

Kym told OK! Magazine in a new interview, “It’s a horrible feeling of dizziness and being off balance, and like the floor’s uneven. The feeling of not being in complete control of my balance is scary. I was anxious when I was told I had to have a brain scan; I did worry that it might be something more sinister. The good thing is that there were no tumors or signs of multiple sclerosis.”

In addition, Kym has also defended Coronation Street’s dark storylines, despite last week’s horrific scenes. David Platt was drugged and assaulted by Weatherfield newcomer Josh Tucker.

Kym explained, “Some people have been very shocked by it, but we are a drama and the show is all about important issues and tackling issues that people, perhaps, are too afraid to talk about. These things sadly do happen to people in real life. We’re a family show, so the storyline suggests more than it shows. It’s acted well and written with sensitivity.”

We wish Kym Marsh nothing but the best. It’s without a doubt that her Coronation Street fans love seeing her on the small screen!
