Hear’Say’s Kym Marsh has found herself a boyfriend – and it’s none other than Jack Ryder, 19, who stars as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders. The couple’s cover was blown at the weekend, when they were seen boarding a train to Wigan on Friday night, where Kym’s family live.
To pass the time on the three-hour journey, the couple gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes. A fellow passenger in the carriage said: “They were all over each other. They sat close together near the aisle, playing with each other’s hands. They looked very romantic and make a lovely couple.”
The journey down was a different matter, however. When Kym arrived at London’s Euston station, following a conversation with Hear’Say bosses, Jack was not at her side. It is thought that the record company do not want the two to be pictured together. “Look, I haven’t got him under my jacket,” said the mother of David, five, and Emily, three. Jack ignored all reporters’ questions.
Kym, 25, split with her fiancé Martin Murphy after she rose to fame. Jack was dumped by long-term student girlfriend Carol Heather after he was pictured holding hands with one of his co-stars, Michelle Ryan, who plays Zoe Slater in the BBC soap.
