Marsh: 'Surgery has given me confidence'

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has claimed that undergoing cosmetic surgery has given her much more confidence.

The 33-year-old said that her £4,000 boob op, which boosted her breasts to a D-Cup, has made her less "self-conscious".

Marsh, who is currently romancing fellow actor Jamie Lomas (Warren Fox, Hollyoaks), has children David, 14, and Emily, 11, from a former relationship.

"[The surgery] something I always wanted to have done," Marsh told Reveal. "I've been very self-conscious about my breasts for a long, long time. Since having my kids, there was nothing there. After having Emily they disappeared.

"As my gran would say, I ended up with just the skins they were in!"

She continued: "I wasn't very confident when I was on holiday, and wearing a bikini was always an issue for me. And I never felt sexy in bras. Of course, Jamie wasn't bothered, but I wanted to do it for myself. But Jamie loves them.

"I didn't want to look stupid or like I was trying to be a glamour model. I just wanted back what I'd lost."

The former Hear'Say popstar, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV soap, added: "It really has changed my life. It's made me much more confident."
