Kym Marsh has defended her recent comments about John Thomson after she was criticised on Twitter.
Former Coronation Street actor John Thomson recently blasted his co-star Antony Cotton's appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here by describing him as a "nasty piece of work".
Marsh has since called Thomson "unprofessional" for his remarks, saying that his accusations are also "untrue."
Responding to tweets about her comments, she posted: "Love being told I have no right to defend my friend and how it's nowt to do with me.. Erm so what's it to do with u then? (sic)"
A Twitter user replied: "But surely you can understand that alot of people found Anthony Cotton very bitchy on IAC and therefore don't think he is nice guy."
She said: "yes but it's an EDITED tv show made for shock and entertainment purposes and I KNOW the real Antony so am able to comment."
She later ended the discussion by saying: "Yes Thompson IS entitled to an opinion as am I! And as Antony is my friend I am also entitled to defend him. Don't u defend your mates?"
Cotton finished in fourth place in I'm a Celebrity last week, with McFly's Dougie Poynter crowned King of the Jungle.
