Kym Marsh: Michelle Connor will be “heavily involved” in the Coronation Street bus crash

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh is thrilled her ‘Coronation Street’ character Michelle Connor will play a part in the forthcoming minibus crash.

The 38-year-old actress admits details of the shocking storyline are still being kept under wraps but she is delighted her soap alter ego will be in the thick of the action.

She said: “You have probably read about the huge ‘Corrie’ storyline that will be broadcast in the New Year.

“There’s a minibus crash and I can exclusively reveal that my character Michelle Connor is heavily involved in the storyline.”

The storyline will see staff of the Underworld underwear factory caught up in a horrific crash as they embark on a work outing in a Street Cars minibus driven by Michelle’s boyfriend Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and at least one beloved character will be left with their life on the line.

And Kym has promised fans are in for a treat with the spectacular stunt.

She added in her column for OK! magazine: “It’s so exciting being involved in such a dramatic storyline and having seen the scripts I can guarantee you’ll be glued to your screens. I’d love to tell you more but I can’t.”

The dramatic stunt is to be filmed before Christmas and suitable locations are currently being explored to ensure the scenes – which are set to air in the New Year – are as spectacular as possible.
