Strictly's Kym Marsh had controversial op that left her infertile after childbirth trauma
Strictly's Kym Marsh, 46, was left so traumatised by the pain of losing a premature child that she chose to have an operation that she hoped would prevent her from giving birth ever again.The ex-Coronation Street star had also experienced distress after perceiving that the two children she already had when she first rose to fame might "hold her back" from being successful. Kym opened up about the decision she made to opt for uterine ablation - a controversial op which destroys part of the uterus lining to intentionally prevent a woman from giving birth to children.The showbiz star made the life-altering decision after two traumatic experiences which made her feel she never wanted to be pregnant again.She first became a mum in her teens, and it is believed that there were no complications with her eldest two children, Emilie and David, who were born in 1995 and 1997.However, she heartbreakingly lost Archie - her son with Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas - in 2009, when the premature and vulnerable baby died just moments after being born.Two years later, the pair's daughter Polly was born, but Kym later candidly revealed that the odds had been against her survival, too.Kym struggled after she was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, a condition occuring "when your cervix is too weak to stay closed during pregnancy due to the extra weight of the baby".It can cause premature birth or miscarriage - and sure enough, Kym's second daughter arrived several weeks early.However, she survived, and a jubilant Kym described her to OK! as "a little miracle...

Strictly's Kym Marsh 'lied' about her children and feared they'd 'hold her back' from fame
Strictly's Kym Marsh dramatically burst into tears in front of the nation after admitting she had kept her two children a secret from the judges of her first ever TV show, Popstars. Fearing that she might be held back when it came to hitting the big time, the then 24-year-old had concealed her secret family when entering the 2001 talent contest and told producers she wasn't a mother.10 million viewers tuned in to watch Kym claiming that in her past her children had stood in her way - and that she'd feared the same would happen again if she didn't hide them.The single mum finally admitted the conflict she'd been suffering during one of the Saturday night shows - and still managed to soar past thousands of fellow hopefuls to win a place in the pop group Hear'Say.However, she lasted just over one year in the group after rows with fellow bandmates and intense media coverage.For example, the Daily Mail had written that Kym "plots her career like a military operation" and has "an unnerving desire to secure maximum publicity".Meanwhile, her former bandmate Suzanne Shaw later claimed that Kym and her celebrity partner, Jack Ryder of Eastenders, were "the council-estate version of Posh and Becks".In response to the criticism, Kym felt compelled to defiantly declare: "I'm not embarrassed about being ambitious!"Kym also lamented during a historic interview that she felt it was mostly female journalists writing about her negatively."That's what gets me.

Strictly Come Dancing star Kym Marsh, 46, risked being eliminated from the show last week after being placed in the bottom two, but was saved by all four judges in the dance-off. Kym’s former Coronation Street co-star Charlie de Melo, 33, described the soap actress as a “force of nature” as he shared his honest opinion with Express.co.uk at the 2022 Inside Soap Awards on Monday.Charlie, who is best known for his portrayal of Imran Habeeb on Corrie, began by complimenting former Hear'Say singer Kym on her dancing skills. “I watched her yesterday - it was fantastic! Absolutely brilliant,” the actor confirmed warmly. Asked if he thought Kym had the potential to win the competition, Charlie replied: “Well, the standard is unbelievably high. “I’m not a regular viewer, if I’m being entirely honest, but I did watch the entire thing yesterday and a lot of people… “Hamza [Yassin], who I wasn’t aware of before, was absolutely extraordinary. Charlie added that another star to impress him with his moves was Will Mellor, whom he had overlapped with during his time on Corrie. “Usually there’s someone that’s there and people turn their noses up and they snort and they laugh, but everyone is doing such a good job,” Charlie reflected. “I love to see it, because I think Kym’s an absolute force of nature,” he added. “But I think it would be insincere of me to say… Because this year the competition she’s up against is unbelievable.
