Kym Marsh has shared her gratitude at being thought about by those close to her as she was struck down after sharing a big career update. The actress recently shared how she was feeling under the weather and her friend and makeup artist was among those helping her get better.

But in her latest update, Kym, 47, shared how she had been sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers featuring yellow roses and even a bee ornament within the display.

"Not been too well this week and it's always nice to know someone is thinking of you," the former Coronation Street star wrote alongside the post with a string of yellow heart emojis. She then added: "How beautiful are these! My favourite flowers too! Amazing @theflowergirlmanchester."

Kym's bout of ill health comes after she revealed she's actually going to be returning to the stage in the new 101 Dalmatians the Musical in which she'll play the Disney villain Cruella De Vil.

This new musical is written by Douglas Hodge (music and lyrics) and Johnny McKnight (book), from a stage adaptation by Zinnie Harris and is reimagined from the acclaimed Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production in 2022. When fashionista Cruella de Vil plots to swipe all the Dalmatian puppies in town to create her fabulous new fur coat, there’s trouble ahead for Pongo and Perdi and their litter of adorable, tail-wagging young pups.

The musical embarks on a UK and Ireland tour, launching at the New Wimbledon Theatre in June and it will come to Manchester's Palace Theatre for 11 dates between July 30 and August 10, with performances at 2pm and 7pm.

Kym was sent some flowers as a pick me up

Announcing the news on BBC's Morning Live last month, Kym said: "I am about to go off on tour and play Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians. I am so excited, it's really funny because everyone that knows me, including you, would say 'Kym's such a dog lover' so it's weird because obviously I have to pretend that I don't like the dogs.

"And the family are all excited, because obviously it's a very family show, if you're going to come to the theatre you can bring the kids, there's something for everyone."

But following the death of her beloved dad, David Marsh, earlier this year, Kym added to show hosts Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley added: "The sad part is that he won't be around to see it but he would have loved it, he would have been so thrilled to see me play this part but it has come at a good time, give me a bit of a lift and something to get my head into and really look forward to."
