Kym Marsh has taken up camping – in a bid to become "more outdoorsy".
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress is keen to see more of the outside world and after forking out on a new tent, she is planning a countryside jaunt with her kids, David, 23, and Emilie, 20 – who she has with former partner Dave Cunliffe – and seven-year-old Polly.
She wrote on Twitter: "I’m gonna start being more outdoorsy so I’m gonna go camping with @david_cunliffe3 and @EmilieCunliffe and polly at the first opportunity!! got myself a berghaus airtent @blacks_online just need to get myself a decent weekend now weather wise and I’m off!! Wish me luck (sic)"
The 42-year-old star – who plays Michelle Connor – was inundated with hints and tips about where to go and what to do on her family camping adventure, but one ‘Corrie’ fan account jokingly questioned whether it was wise at her age because the damp may not be good for her aching bones.
She replied: "Cheeky a**e!!! (sic)"
As well as camping, Kym is also looking for new places to take Polly – who she shares with her ex-husband, ‘Hollyoaks’ star Jamie Lomas – of a weekend after being left "fed up" with their current list of activities.
She tweeted: "Right new ideas needed. Fed up of taking Polly to the same places on the weekend. Anyone got some new ideas for where to take my 7 year old? (sic)"
While Kym is planning new ideas for her kids, she recently tried to tempt her ‘Corrie’ co-star Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt) to start drinking tea – because the cobbles resident is yet to ever try a brew in her life.
She said: "I was chatting to Lucy about the fact she’s never drunk a cup of tea. She mentioned it on Twitter last week and people were rightfully shocked. She says she can’t get past the smell, but what’s not to love about a brew?
"I told her she doesn’t know what she’s missing – there’s nowt better than a cup of Yorkshire Tea and a Hobnob!"
