Kym Marsh has been pictured without her wedding and engagement rings at her first public appearance since splitting with her new husband.
It is believed that the Corrie actress and Scott Ratcliff have parted ways only 19 months after getting hitched.
The actress was at the Pride of Manchester Awards on Wednesday (May 10) when her marital jewellery was noticeably missing and instead of Scott, 34, on her arm, she was accompanied by her lookalike daughter Emilie and son David.

Kym, 46, looked stunning in a floor-length black gown with a plunging neckline and her daughter, 26, also looked fabulous in head-to-toe black.
Kym is believed to have also deleted all traces of Scott, a major in the Parachute Regiment, from her social media and even edited her bio on Instagram from “wife to Scott” to “Mum to David, Emilie, Polly and Archie [heart emoji] YaYa to Teddy, Polly and Clay. Actor, presenter, singer.”
According to reports, Kym and Scott split due to conflicting work commitments and even though they tried to make the marriage work, the “cracks had been there for a while”.
Scott is said to be based at his barracks down south while the Waterloo Road star lives with her kids in Cheshire.
A source told The Sun: “Kym’s been so busy, and last year being on Strictly Come Dancing meant even her weekends were stacked up along with weekdays rehearsing, more recently she’s been filming all over the place and rehearsing for a new theatre run.
“It was the fact they lived so far away from each other that just made it impossible.”
Kym has previously spoken about how “grim” life as an army wife can be, especially as Scott was unexpectedly sent away just two days after their wedding.
This was Kym’s third marriage. Her first husband was EastEnders actor Jack Ryder, but they divorced in 2009 after seven years.
She went on to marry fellow soap actor Jamie Lomas, 48, and have daughter Polly, 12, and son Archie, who died when he was just a few minutes old.
Archie was born about 19 weeks premature.
Kym and Jamie split in 2014 and she met Scott in 2018.
He also has spoken out about the difficulties of a long-distance relationship.
Referring to his sudden absence after their wedding, Scott told OK magazine: “I do three terms per year at (military academy) Sandhurst and every term I’ll go away for two weeks to run an overseas training exercise”.
