Kym Marsh has posted a touching tribute in memory of her late father, David, who lost his battle with prostate cancer in 2024. The former Coronation Street star expressed how life has changed since his passing as she commemorated his birthday on Tuesday.

Back in June 2021, Kym revealed the heartbreaking news of her father’s cancer diagnosis. She explained that he had delayed seeking medical attention due to the pandemic, resulting in the cancer spreading to his pelvis and spine by the time he sought treatment.

Sharing a heartfelt photo of herself embracing her father on Instagram, Kym expressed her wishes to celebrate his birthday with him, reminiscing about their moments together. Her daughters, Polly and Emilie, also sent their love and affectionate messages to honor their grandfather.

In an update in June 2021, Kym disclosed that doctors considered her father’s cancer to be incurable but manageable. She emphasized the uncertainties surrounding his prognosis and the discomfort he was experiencing.

During an appearance on Morning Live, Kym provided further updates on her father’s deteriorating health due to the cancer’s progression. Despite facing immense grief from losing her father and infant son in the past, Kym discussed her ongoing struggle with life’s challenges and her decision to prioritize self-care ahead of her upcoming milestone birthday.
