OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh and her boyfriend Scott Ratcliffe have vowed to make their relationship work ahead of him going to Afghanistan for six months next year.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress recently reunited with her significant other after he spent seven weeks in Kenya, where he was undergoing an army training exercise, and she has now revealed he is heading to the Asian country for half of 2019, which will be “tough”.
She said: “He is due to go back to Afghanistan next year for six months.
“It is tough, but I know we can make it work and we will be fine.”
While Kym – who plays Michelle Connor on the ITV soap – misses Scott when he goes away with the army, she loves seeing him in uniform.
Speaking at The Sun’s Military Awards, she told The Sun Online: “I love a man in uniform and he looks gorgeous tonight.
“It’s so attractive, he looks so great to me.”
Kym recently admitted her heart “grew fonder” for Scott following their latest stint apart.
She said: “Scott and I were reunited after seven weeks apart while he was out in Kenya on an army training exercise and it was the best!
“It’s true, absence does make the heart grow fonder. I got a train down from Manchester and he met me off the train in London.
“I was so excited to see him, I really missed him! We kept in contact by sending each other letters and little gifts – it’s little gestures and knowing you’re being thought of and missed. Scott’s very thoughtful and I’m really glad he’s home.”
