Kym Marsh, 48, puts on loved-up display with toyboy boyfriend Samuel Thomas, 29, as they leave the theatre after 101 Dalmatians The Musical

Kym Marsh and her toyboy boyfriend Samuel Thomas put on a loved-up display as they left another performance of 101 Dalmatians at The Palace Theatre in Manchester on Friday.

Following one of their final few shows in the city before the musical continues its UK tour, Kym, 48, and Samuel, 29, looked in high spirits as they left the theatre hand-in-hand.

The actress, who is 19 years her co-star and partners senior, opted for comfort as she swapped her Cruella De Vil costume for a grey Adanola tracksuit.

Although she got changed into more practical clothing, the star still looked glam as she sported her dramatic stage makeup.

Kym teamed her cosy ensemble with a pair of white trainers, and wore her brunette locks styled in voluminous curls.

Samuel, who plays the role of Tom Dearly in the production, also opted for comfort as he sported a nude Ted Baker jumper, paired with some black jogging bottoms.

He completed his post-show outfit with white trainers and carried his essentials in a black backpack.

The West End show opened at New Wimbledon Theatre on June 22, 2024 and will continue to tour across the country until January 2025.

Last week, Kym looked smitten with Samuel as they posed for a series of pictures of together, which he shared to his Instagram.

He sweetly declared that 'life's pretty great at the moment' as the new couple continued to enjoy their honeymoon period.

Samuel told in the caption to his post how they'd had 'two wonderful days' in London as they took in the sights and played tourists.

He finished off by saying 'I love you' while sharing a beautiful snap of Kym as they enjoyed a romantic day out.

He penned: 'Life’s pretty great right now. Two wonderful days in London staying at @strandpalace in between venues last week, and what a lovely time we had.

'Great food, new tattoos, Camden market, @kissmekateuk @barbicancentre and all the laughter and love. I Love you @marsh_kym❤️.'

His pals were quick to comment under the post saying how happy and in love he looked.

Their outing comes after Kym was forced to defend herself for revealing she is dating Samuel who is the same age as her son.

At 29, Samuel - who she refers to as 'the most amazing man ever' - is the same age as her eldest child, David Cunliffe.

Kym's friends are reportedly worried that her new romance with a younger man could all end in heartache if it 'fizzles out'.

The couple had happier news when they welcomed daughter Polly in March 2011.

They exchanged vows in September 2012 but were divorced by 2014, with Kym reportedly stunned by Lomas' decision to break it off.

She remarried for a third time to Scott Ratcliff back in 2021.

The pair split 13 months following their wedding when Kym filed for divorce citing unreasonable behaviour.
