Coronation Street star Kym Marsh stayed close to Jamie Lomas’ sisters, despite the fact that she and the actor are no longer dating.

The 33-year-old actress has become close to Lomas’s sister Cassie and half-sister Charley Webb, best known as Emmerdale’s Debbie Dingle.

A source told Now: “Charley actually introduced Kym and Jamie, and his sister Cassie still often does Kym’s make-up.

“You might think they’d find it impossible to stay friends since the break-up. But, in fact, it’s helping her to be around them and she’s determined to stay close to her girlfriends, despite the enormous upheaval in her personal life.”
