Kym Ryder has revealed how her recent emotional storylines on Coronation Street brought a tear to her older brothers eye.

Speaking to The Sun Kym said:

“My older brother Dave is a bit of a hard nut. He’s very very protective of me and my sister.

“He’s become a big fan of the show since I joined and when it all came out that Michelle’s lover Sonny had had a gay fling with Sean, he sent a text saying ‘Had a little tear there, babe.’

“Ha ha! I broke the Ice Man! I just hope that I can make him bawl with all the emotional storylines that Michelle has got in the future.”
