Kym Marsh can't have any more children after having an ablation of the womb.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - who is currently dating personal trainer Dan Hooper and already has three children - has revealed she suffered severe health problems in October 2013 and an operation she had to remove the lining of her womb has left her unable to have any more children.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the 38-year-old star said: "Sadly, I can't have any more children. Last October, before I met Dan, I was having some severe health problems and doctors told me I had two options - a hysterectomy, which they didn't want to do as I'm still young, or an ablation of the womb, which basically removes your womb lining. I opted for that."
Kym then revealed that she didn't wish to have any more children because of the heartache she suffered in 2009, when her son Archie died after being born 18 weeks prematurely.
She explained: "[...] having kids for me is really traumatic; I didn't want to go through what I went through with Archie."
However, the brunette beauty did confess that a little part of her regrets her decision to have her womb lining removed and even hinted that she would consider adoption or surrogacy.
She said: "Now I've met Dan we're a bit upset about it because if we decided we wanted to have kids together then that isn't a possibility. But there are options."

Stephanie Nala thinks Simon Cowell's behaviour on the live shows was "odd".
The former 'X Factor' contestant has admitted that Simon's attack on her singing ability was "odd" and "hard to take" after he was so supportive of her old band, the Luminites - who split in April after they appeared on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2013.
Talking to BANG Showbiz, Stephanie, who was eliminated alongside Chloe Jasmine Whichello on Sunday night (19.10.14), said: "Simon was really supportive. He was happy that I went by myself. He actually said, 'You're better alone.' So when it got to live shows and he turned it was like, it was hard to take."
"Even though Simon didn't really support it, it's like he did. It's very odd what's happened with the live shows."
Speaking of the Luminites split and her decision to audition as for 'The X Factor', she added: "I didn't actually want to go solo. We got dropped. It was quite a hard time for me, people don't really understand. When we got dropped, I was really down. It was more of a self challenge to see can I do it."
Stephanie also hit back at her former classmates, who have accused the 20-year-old singer of bullying girls at Turnford School in Hertfordshire.
She told BANG Showbiz: "It was quite disappointing when they were so supportive of 'Britain's Got Talent' it kind of felt like a personal attack. People were out to get me for no reason.
"If you were to ask anyone in the house, 'Is Stephanie a bully?' They would probably laugh because I'm so weak."

James Nesbitt lived an "isolated life" to get into character for 'The Missing'.
The 49-year-old actor revealed that he became a social recluse whilst he was filming for his new BBC One drama, where he stars as Tony, the father of a child that gets abducted.
Speaking about his preparation for the role, James told the Radio Times magazine: "I tried to live as isolated a life as I could. What was helpful was that I didn't live in a hotel in Brussels, I lived in an apartment. And I got the art department to send me all the things Tony would have had access to, all the newspaper clippings and files. So I was surrounded by all that stuff in my flat.
"And I tried not to be social with the crew or cast. I would go out and eat by myself , and I would have these files with me. And I pounded the streets like Tony did, went into bars to have a couple of drinks. So, very much his world - because Tony was totally alone."
The actor - who has previously starred in the television shows 'Cold Feet' and 'Murphy's Law' - admitted that the intense storylines and being parted from his two daughters - Mary, 12, and Peggy, 17 - did affect his mental state.
He shared: "What would occasionally get to me was the sense of isolation, the sense of being on your own. Being away from my kids, that was not easy. But the strengths of it were almost the negatives of it. It was very helpful for the piece. But certainly at times it was, ah, difficult."

Honor Blackman will make a guest appearance in 'You, Me & Them'.
The 89-year-old actress - who has previously starred in the James Bond film, 'Goldfinger' and the action-comedy 'The Avengers' - will play Rose, the mother of the lead character Ed (who is played by Anthony Head) and according to Gold, Rose is ready to cause "chaos" between Ed and his girlfriend Lauren (played by Eve Myles).
Speaking about her exciting new role on 'You, Me & Them', Honor said: "I think they are lovely people, and a terrific team and I look forward to having fun with them. Anthony Head and Eve Myles have a wonderful relationship; I am going to see if I can rattle their cage a bit!"
Steve North, General Manager of Gold, then added: "Honor Blackman may be the same age as the Queen and it is 50 years since she played the infamous Pussy Galore in 'Goldfinger', but she is still beautiful, mesmerising and a legendary actress. I am delighted she is joining our brilliant cast and the eccentric 'You, Me & Them' family."
Executive Producer of the show's production company Hat Trick, Jimmy Mulville said: "We're thrilled to have such an icon of British film join the cast of 'You, Me & Them'. Honor plays a fantastically naughty and funny character who is definitely not growing old gracefully."
The new series of 'You, Me & Them' is scheduled to air in 2015.

Daniel Radcliffe can't wait to show his kids the 'Harry Potter' movies.
The 25-year-old actor is looking forward to the day he has a family and he can tell his children he played the titular boy wizard in the film franchise, which is based on the book series by author J.K. Rowling.
Daniel, speaking on UK TV show 'Lorraine', was asked whether the films would stand the test of time, to which he replied: "Well will they or won't they remake them before my kids are grown up? Will my kids be saying, 'My Dad was the original Harry Potter?'
"That's all a possibility! I have thought at what age would I let my kids see those films because it is such a weird thing - I think I'm going to try and not for a long time."
Asked whether he's ready to have kids now, Daniel - who is dating actress Erin Darke - admitted: "Oh god no! I'm really excited about the prospect of one day having kids because I have seen so many of my friends have them and the change it has on their lives is so great but yeah, I'm well away from that - I can hardly look after myself!"
Daniel is currently busy promoting his new horror film 'Horns' and speaking at the London première in Leicester Square last night (20.10.14), the actor said he's keen to tackle a variety of roles.
Questioned on what parts he would like to play, he told BANG Showbiz: "I don't know if I'll be looking for darkness every time, I think it's nice to mix it up.
"It's getting opportunities to show what I can do and hopefully people will keep presenting that to me."

Carmen Electra knew her marriage to Dennis Rodman was a mistake as she tied the knot with him when she was in "self-destruction" mode.
The former 'Baywatch' star met the controversial basketball player in 1998 shortly after her mother Patricia had passed away when she was partying hard to block out her grief.
Looking back, Carmen acknowledges their romance was doomed to fail because she got married for the wrong reasons.
In an interview on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?', she said: "I went into self-destruction (when I lost my mother) and I remember meeting Dennis.
"Dennis was the life of the party; he was fun. I started drinking. People couldn't understand why I loved him because he had a reputation for being a bad boy and what I saw at the beginning was, sort of, this gentle giant that was in a lot of pain. In a way, we kind of understood each other. Our relationship was very passionate. When it was good, it was amazing. And when it was bad, it was the worst."
Carmen had a feeling of regret straight after she said "I do" to Dennis at the Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas in November 1998.
The 42-year-old beauty recalled: "It was so fast, it was so spontaneous and I remember right after , I felt like, 'Oh God... what did we just do?' "
Carmen and Dennis eventually divorced in April 1999 and a catalyst for the split was something Oprah Winfrey said during an episode of her talk show.
The 'WERQ' singer - whose second husband was Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro - said: "I remember I was watching Oprah and she said, 'In order to heal, you have to feel.' And that's when it clicked - I was like, 'I'm not feeling I lost my mom, I'm not feeling that because I have just made my life chaos and blocked that out.'
"I took quite a bit of time and I started working on myself, started getting myself together."

Brad Pitt is "surprised" by how much marriage has changed his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
The couple - who raise six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight and twins Knox and Vivienne, six - tied the knot in August after nine years together and although the 'Fury' star didn't expect things to feel any different between them, he says the ceremony has changed how he feels about his family.
Speaking to HELLO! magazine, he said: "We have six kids so we felt beyond marriage already. But the kids were asking and we thought it would be a lovely thing to do, for them and for us as a family and it was all of that.
"But I was surprised afterwards at the effect getting married has had on us - it was more than just a ceremony, it meant a real depth of commitment. I feel like a married man - I really do."
Despite being 12 years older than his wife, Brad insists the couple don't notice the age difference and says he didn't care about turning 50 last year.
He said: "We're probably around the same age maturity-wise - that's the way it works with men and women right?
"But I don't feel any different for having turned 50. I've never been one of those guys who counts time or thinks about the five-year plan or the 10-year plan.
"I'm pretty clear about how I want to live my life and what I want for my family and my wife and kids and that determines how I feel."

Alan Cumming thinks Shia LeBeouf was "messed up" when he slapped his butt during his performance in 'Cabaret'.
The 49-year-old actor - who was appearing in the Broadway production alongside Michelle Williams in June - was smacked on the bottom by the 'Transformers' star as he made his way through the audience, later leading to Shia's arrest.
However, Alan brushed off the behaviour of the 28-year-old actor - who recently claimed he had grabbed Alan's butt because he is "the sexiest man he'd ever seen" - and believes that, unfortunately for Shia, he was just "out of it" in a very public place.
He told Conan O'Brien during an episode of his talk show which airs tonight (21.10.14): "I walk into the audience at one point, I introduce Michelle Williams, and then I walk into the audience and go back and come down. As I walked past him, he was on a table at the end of a row, he whacked me ... and then other things, you know, he was smoking ... We've all done things where we've been out of it and messed up, and not everyone has to deal with it on such a worldwide scale.
"He did say the reason he did it was because I was the sexiest man he'd ever seen."
He added: I think he was just really messed up. He was just wasted from the second he walked in, so there was an atmosphere. When I went downstairs on the stage to start the show everyone was freaking out, because there seemed to be a crazy person shouting and stuff."
Shia opened up about his bizarre behaviour last week, claiming he slapped the actor because of his good looks, saying: "I give him a slap on the ass, because I think he deserves it. He's the sexiest man I've ever seen. I don't just slap it slap it. I grabbed him - like, I grabbed a whole cheek because I wanted the party right here in my pants. I wanted the whole party. So, he finds a way to wiggle out of my Hercules grip and I'm a little disappointed about it."
Shia was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing during the performance, in which he is also said to have been "harassing audience members and chain smoking inside the theatre".

Britain's Duchess of Cornwall avoided repeating an awkward encounter with a goat yesterday (20.10.14) by keeping her distance from the animals.
The 67-year-old royal came face-to-face with the farm animals at the National Harvest Service in Birmingham, West Midlands, but she deliberately stood away from the beasts before checking they were "subdued" after she was forced to wrestle her bag back from one in May 2006.
On this occasion, Camilla handed her bag to a minder to look after while she got a closer look at the goats and she was "amazed" just how quiet the animals were - a contrast to the cheeky four-legged friend who had a nibble of her handbag during a visit to a creamery in Northern Ireland eight years ago.
Farmer Richard Craddock Mr Craddock, manager of Hatton Adventure World, is quoted by MailOnline as saying: "Camilla seemed very comfortable with the animals.
"She said to me 'the goats are very quiet' and seemed quite pleased they were subdued.
"She seemed amazed how quiet they were and even tried to feed one some straw but it didn't seem that interested."
After avoiding the awkward encounter, the duchess was presented with harvest boxes - which came complete with an array of home-grown produce - from 360 children at the National Harvest Service at St Philip's Cathedral in Birmingham.

Britain's Duchess Catherine will miss a state lunch today (21.10.14) but will still return to duties for the first time in 11 weeks.
According to Buckingham Palace officials, the 32-year-old royal - who has been suffering from severe morning sickness while pregnant with her and husband Prince William's second baby - will take part in a carriage procession with Singapore's President Tony Tan but not an arranged lunch.
She will be joined by William as well as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for the procession, which will return to the palace, but is unable to make the lunch, which will be hosted by the 88-year-old monarch.
As well as being Catherine's first public appearance since her second pregnancy was announced, it will also be her first formal role in a state visit.
While Catherine - known as Kate Middleton before her nuptials - is still suffering from severe morning sickness, a Kensington Palace statement released yesterday (20.10.14) revealed her condition is "steadily improving".
Part of the statement read: "The Duchess of Cambridge continues to be affected by Hyperemisis Gravidarum, but her condition is steadily improving."
Kensington Palace also confirmed William and Catherine - who have 14-month-old son Prince George - are expecting their second baby in April.
It read: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2015."

Britain's Princess Anne touched down in Australia this morning (21.10.14) ahead of a four-day agriculture conference.
The 64-year-old royal landed arrived in Brisbane for the 26th Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RASC) at the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland (RNA), where members of the Commonwealth will discuss natural environments, food and agriculture.
David Thomas, President of the RNA, is pleased Anne has made the journey Down Under because he has always found her to be "very approachable".
He told the Brisbane Times newspaper: "I think Princess Anne has always been a popular royal, she's very hard-working.
"I think she's one of those people who are very approachable; my dealings with her have been completely delightful."
The princess - who recently returned from stays in Ethiopia and Tanzania - last visited the country in 2009 in the wake of the Black Saturday bush fires which devastated areas around Melbourne.
Anne's Australia visit come after Prince William, Duchess Catherine and their 14-month-old son Prince George enjoyed a three-week tour of the country in April this year.

Russell Brand isn't worried about being caught up in the nude celebrity photo scandal because he doesn't have any pics to leak.
The 39-year-old comedian is adamant he won't become a part of 'The Fappening' - which has affected over 100 star, including 'The Hunger Games' actress Jennifer Lawrence, Avril Lavigne and Kelly Brook - and admits he has been perplexed by the "weird" leak.
When asked if a hacker would find naked pics of him, Russell told Time Out magazine: "I don't think so. I try not to do things I wouldn't want other people to see. The iCloud hacking thing's weird. It's presented as this incredibly appealing and attractive world of glistening skin and perfect boobs, so people go, 'I'll have a look at that, I'm really f***ing bored.' "
Although he claims he has no naked photos to be leaked, Russell is proud of his penis and at one stage he used to call his manhood 'The Emperor'.
He joked: "That guy, he's been through so many changes. He's different from one moment to the next. He's like Ruby Tuesday - who could put a name on him? He used to be called 'The Emperor' in more grandiose days, but those imperial times are somewhat over."
The 'Revolution' writer also spoke about his somewhat short-lived acting career, and although he felt his foray onto the big screen was "wasting" his time, he won't rule out a return to movies in the future.
The 'Get Him To The Greek' star said: "When I've made [films] in the past I've met some really wonderful people and had some really positive things come from them, but I've felt a bit like I was wasting my time. Sometimes it's good because you've got Alec Baldwin in the next caravan so you can go and chat to him. But I want to feel engaged by something. I mean, if it was the right film I would."
