Kym Marsh is seen for the first time with new boyfriend after loved-up couple confirmed romance – 8 months on from split with Samuel Thomas
Kym Marsh stepped out with her new boyfriend for the first time on Saturday and the loved-up pair enjoyed a day out in Bakewell.
Her new relationship comes eight months after she ended her whirlwind romance with Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior, in February, six months later.
The 49-year-old actress identified her man Tom last week when she shared a series of photos on Instagram, confirming their romance and tagging his account.
They hit the road this weekend and after doing some shopping, walked hand in hand through the Derbyshire town.
Kym wore a cream-coloured tracksuit consisting of a cropped hoodie and wide-legged trousers.
For their day out, she went makeup-free and tied her hair into a practical bun.
Kym Marsh, 49, stepped out with her new boyfriend for the first time on Saturday and the loved-up pair enjoyed a day out in Bakewell.
Her new relationship comes eight months after she ended her whirlwind romance with Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior, in February, six months later.
Earlier this month, Kym posted lovey-dovey photos with Tom after it was revealed she joined dating app Hinge earlier this year following Samuel’s split.
Last week, she took to Instagram Stories to share a photo posted by Tom in which the duo enjoyed a steamy kiss with the camera in selfie mode.
Tom’s Instagram account is @tom_dicko_ and his bio on the site lists a number of challenges he has completed, including The Welsh 3000s Challenge, a challenge to climb all 15 mountains over 3000ft in Wales within 24 hours.
The pair are said to have met through friends and Kym has been intermittently sharing photos with Tom but only identifying him in her latest post.
A source said earlier this month: Sun: ‘They’ve already enjoyed their night together and he’s also met his daughter Emilie, so things are moving fast.
‘He was also out at night with his friends and was the center of attention, which is no surprise because he is so handsome. Kym always throws herself completely into everything; including relationships.’
It was reported last month that Kym was back on the dating scene, with the star joining Hinge and giving strict instructions to the next man in her life.
In her profile, Kym stressed that her future boyfriend had to make her ‘laughing to the brim’ for him to get a chance.

According to The Sun at the time, Kym described herself as an ‘actor and presenter’ who liked to ‘tell lies, go for a dog walk and roast dinner’ on her ideal Sunday.
He also showed off his humorous side and said dating him is ‘like being on the Truman Show but never boring!’ he joked.
Her dating profile includes photos of her cuddling two dogs and pouting at the camera, the publication reports.

She was forced to defend herself after declaring her romance with Samuel, who is the same age as her eldest son, on social media, saying he was her ‘soulmate’.
At the time of the split, sources told The Sun it was finding it harder for Kym to spend time with him once their tour ended.
Kym shares son David, 30, and actress daughter Emilie, 28, with ex David Cunliffe.
Kym is also mother to 14-year-old daughter Poppy, whom she shares with ex-husband and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, and son Archie, who was born 18 weeks prematurely in 2009 and died shortly after birth.
Kym and Jamie first met on the train on their way to the 2007 TV Quick Awards and then began a romance in July 2008, a year before Kym’s divorce from ex-husband Jack Ryder.
