Moving house is generally considered one of life’s most stressful events. But you wouldn’t know it from talking to Kym Marsh, who just a few weeks before Christmas swapped one home for another with barely time to catch her breath after competing in Strictly Come Dancing.
“I’ve moved a lot – this will be my 13th time during my adult lifetime,” she breezily tells HELLO! as we catch up at her new abode in Cheshire. “I’m very fortunate that I have a lot of people around who can help me out.”
Kym, 46, and her tribe are the definition of a blended family, as three generations – her parents Pauline and Dave, children David, 27, Emilie, 25, and 11-year-old Polly, as well as stepchildren and grandchildren – join her and husband Scott Ratcliff for our exclusive photoshoot.
CHRISTMAS CHEER
Still surrounded by packing boxes after moving into her five-bedroom house, the BBC presenter, who was the tenth celebrity to with her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, is relieved not to be hosting Christmas. Instead, everyone will be piling round to the home of Emilie and her fiancé Mikey, who luckily loves to cook.
