Kym Marsh cried real tears as she filmed Corrie exit, but insists she’ll return

As Kym Marsh filmed her final scene on Coronation Street , the tears were real as she bid an emotional farewell after 13 years on the soap.

The actress, 43, was at the centre of all the drama on last night’s episode as her character Michelle Connor dumped love rat Robert Preston at the altar.

And the gripping scenes will pave the way for Kym’s departure just after Christmas.

Speaking about filming those final scenes, Kym said: “It was really emotional.

"Crying wasn’t a problem. I was actually crying on tap!

"My final scene was in the Rovers with the Connors. The last viewers will see of Michelle is of her leaving in a taxi.”

But there is plenty more drama before we see the last of her – including a Christmas gun rampage by Derek Milligan (Craige Els).

But Kym insists she will be back. “I love the character and I love the show.

"This is definitely not the end of Michelle,” she said.

Kym is preparing to take to the stage in Elf: A Christmas Spectacular this weekend in Wembley.

She said: “I’ve spent the whole week either dressed as an elf or with elves!”

But one person missing on Christmas Day will be boyfriend Scott Ratcliffe, 32.

A major in the Paras, he will be in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“We’ll FaceTime each other and will have a big celebration when he’s back,” Kym said.

* Corrie continues tomorrow night on ITV at 7.30pm and 8.30pm
