Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh ‘shocked and upset as hackers leak intimate snaps of the actress online’
KYM Marsh has been left "shocked" and "upset" after hackers stole intimate pictures of the star and leaked them online.
However, the actress, 40, didn't let the violation ruin her moment at last night's British Soap Awards, as she was seen smiling brightly as she claimed the Best Female Dramtic Performance gong.
Images of Kym were posted onto a sordid celebrity website before being shared on porn sites.
A source told : “It’s very upsetting for Kym and has come as a huge shock as they are clearly private photographs that should never have been put into the public domain.
“The person who has put them out there has committed a criminal offence. The pictures are very old and she has no idea how anyone got hold of them.
“Kym is delighted about being nominated for three prestigious soap awards and won’t let this spoil what has been a hugely successful year for her on Coronation Street."
It is believed Kym is looking to take legal action and wants the perpetrators brought to justice.

A representative for the star declined to comment.
Kym won her soap award for her heartbreaking late-term miscarriage storyline which aired earlier this year.
Discussing the storyline, which saw Michelle and husband Steve McDonald lose their baby son Ruari, she said: “Thank you so much, this means so much to me.
“I just want to say I’ve been on Corrie for 11 years and it’s been my biggest and best year yet and that’s down to the amazing storylines I’ve been given.
“Some have been quite difficult storylines, one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to.”
Kym thanked her on-screen husband, played by Simon Gregson, for being by her side throughout.
