KYM Marsh and her new man clapped back at fans after they were trolled on Instagram over their romance.
The Morning Live presenter, 48, responded in the comments to one person who said that he looked like her eldest son David.
Ex-Â Coronation Street star Kym announced she’d found love again with 29-year-old actor Samuel Thomas in a post to her 614,000 followers.
The couple shared an intimate kiss in the photos as Kym called Samuel “my soulmate”.
She penned next to the snap: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou”
Dozens of trolls jumped on the post and replied with nasty comments.
One read: “Jesus…… Another amazing man….. five minute wonder… he looks like your son.”
Kym swiftly shut them down, shooting back: “Do one.”
Messages erupted in the thread, and some defended Kym, writing: “It’s time to grow up and get on with your own life instead of giving hate to someone else’s life.”
Another said: “I wonder what’s missing from your life that you need to comment on others. Sad really.”
Samuel also shared a furious statement on his Instagram Story.
In a now deleted post, he said: “Opinions are like a*******s. Everyone’s got one but they’re still a*******s.”
Kym has been married three times, first to EastEnders actor Jack Ryder.
Kym and Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas officially began dating in July 2008 after the former Hear’Say singer filed for divorce from Jack.
Kym – whose son David was born the same year as new boyfriend Samuel – revealed she had split from her third husband, Army Major Scott Ratcliff, 35, in May 2023.
