Kym Marsh has said that she is desperate to hug her army boyfriend as they are finally reunited after his seven-month tour in Afghanistan.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, former Coronation Street star Kym promoted the OK! Closet Clear Out for Refuge campaign to help raise funds for charity Refuge.
This comes after the charity reported seeing a 50% increase in calls to their National Domestic Abuse Hotline since lockdown began.
Speaking on GMB today, Kym said: "Charities are really suffering because people just don't have the money so it's a great thing that OK are doing right now."
Kym also spoke about reuniting with her partner Scott Ratcliffe today and said that it had been a "long tour".
"It'll have been 7 months now," she told hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard. "We had a small get together for his R&R but it's been seven months."
Kym and Scott have been dating since July 2018 following her split from ex Matt Baker.
She continued: "I have really, really missed him. It is hard because your partner is your support network - I just want a cuddle!"
The actress admitted that she was also missing her grandson and being unable to hug him.
Revealing that it was her grandson's first birthday on Sunday, she revealed that she dropped some presents round for him "at a safe distance".
She added: "I can't wait to squeeze him, little chubby chops!"
