Who is Kym Marsh's Scots husband Scott Ratcliff as former Corrie star joins Strictly lineup

This isn't the first time Kym Marsh has been married, but it would appear she seem to have 'found the one' with Scottish husband, Scott Ratcliff. Kym has been named as one of the first celebs to join the Strictly Come Dancing line up, so we thought now would be a good time to introduce you to her hunky husband.

The 33-year-old is a major in the army Parachute Regiment, and is from Scotland. He trained at the Sandhurst Military Academy, and has been in the elite troop for nearly ten years.

He proposed to Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh last year, and just months later they tied the knot. They celebrated with a military themed wedding, in a nod to the actress' new husband's career.

Alongside his military role, Scott is also passionate about charity work.

One of his charity projects included completing the Great North Run in less than two hours while wearing his full army uniform and a backpack weighing 40kg.

Scott has one child, a six-year-old daughter named Renée from a previous relationship.

He met soap star Kym back in 2018 through their mutual friend Anthony Cotton. Scott became good friends with Anthony due to the actor's charity work with the armed forces.

After introducing them, they sparked up a relationship via FaceTime calls and texting as Scott was deployed in Afghanistan at the time.

After dating for nearly three years, Scott popped the question while the pair were celebrating Kym's 45th birthday in July.

Kym is mum to David and Emilie, from her relationship with David Cunliffe. She also shares daughter Polly with ex-husband Jamie Lomas.

In December 2019, Kym made an emotional exit from the ITV soap, as the character she played, Michelle Connor, said goodbye to Weatherfield. But despite this, she have never ruled out a return to the street.
