Marsh grateful for early maternity leave from Corrie

Kym Marsh is “thankful” to be taking early maternity leave.

The ‘Coronation Street’ actress – whose son Archie died in February 2009 after he was born 18 weeks early – is relieved bosses on the soap allowed her to finish filming her role as barmaid Michelle Connor less than six months into her pregnancy as she has recently been unwell.
