manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Kym Marsh has shared her 'promise' to her mum as she shared an emotional family update. The actress and presenter took to social media to reveal it was her mum Pauline and dad Dave's wedding anniversary on Wednesday (July 24).

But fans of Kym will know that she and her family were devastated earlier this year when Dave died, at the age of 78, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He publicly shared his prostate cancer diagnosis in 2021. He appeared on BBC's Morning Live with Kym and Pauline, saying he wanted to make others aware of the symptoms and to seek medical help when they recognise them.

Kym has since openly shared her grief journey with her fans and followers, with many firsts without Dave along the way. The latest being what would have been his and Pauline's wedding anniversary.
