Kym Marsh, 48, QUITS Waterloo Road after Split from Toyboy Samuel Thomas, 29, to Start New Chapter
Kym Marsh has ‘quit Waterloo Road‘ after five series, as she’s keen to focus on new projects.
The 48-year-old actress, fresh off a breakup with her younger partner, Samuel Thomas (age 29), is said to have told executives at the BBC that this current season will mark her final appearance.
As reported by The Sun, the actress Kym, known for portraying canteen worker Nicky Walters, has completed her last scenes. She’s now embarking on a fresh phase in her life.
A source said: ‘She’s heading towards 50 and wants to try as many new things as she can.
One reason she ended things with Samuel was that she felt a strong desire for adventure and wanted to explore new opportunities in her career.
She currently leads a bustling career and family lifestyle, relishing the independence and opportunities to tackle intriguing new ventures, regardless of where they lead.

Following Kym’s honest confession that life isn’t a fairy tale, but rather a challenge, during an open chat following rumors of her breakup with younger partner Samuel, we move on to discuss…
Last month, it was announced that the actress who used to play on Coronation Street and is now 48 years old, apparently ended her relationship with Samuel, who is 29, following a fast-paced six-month romance.
She broke up with the actor who was a performer, ending their romantic relationship, prior to Christmas. This decision came shortly after they concluded their tour of the musical production titled “101 Dalmatians: The Musical.
In an interview with Closer magazine, the actress pledged a firm promise to prioritize herself before her 50th birthday arrives.
Despite keeping her personal dating experiences private, Kym offered counsel to those facing difficulties, a wisdom that stems from her own apparent struggles with heartache.
She shared: ‘Life is always a struggle – It’s not like all of a sudden, it’s a fairy tale.
‘Struggles are common among individuals as they pursue their goals. I believe there are numerous people out there who are grappling with difficulties, facing challenges, or striving to fulfill a dream. My recommendation is simply to persist. I’ve found that perseverance often leads to success in the end, so don’t give up.’
As Kym nears her 49th birthday in June, she’s realizing that her 50th birthday will be coming up next year. In light of this, the celebrity has decided to prioritize herself from now on, having always put others first before.


Instead of constantly putting others first, she plans to prioritize herself this year, a decision she believes is wise, particularly as she approaches her fiftieth birthday. This involves making healthier food choices, returning to the gym, ensuring adequate rest, and spending more time at home.
The television host is deeply engaged in her job and managing a family that’s quite mixed, as Kym has two kids, three grandkids, and one step-grandchild.
According to reports from The Sun, following their recent rumored split, it seems that Kym, being 19 years senior to Samuel, has found it harder to spend time with him once their tour concluded.
According to a source, Kym and Sam felt deeply smitten upon their initial encounter and were eager to share their excitement with everyone.
After Kym finished working on 101 Dalmatians, it became increasingly difficult for them to spend quality time together, which caused some of their initial charm to fade away.
‘It’s such a shame, especially before Christmas but Kym surrounded herself with family.’
TopMob contacted a representative for Kym for comment at the time.


Earlier, Kym appeared quite enamored with Samuel while they took a sequence of photos together, which he subsequently uploaded on his Instagram account.
He gently expressed, “Life is wonderful right now,” as the newlywed pair continued to bask in their initial blissful stage of marriage.
Samuel shared in the title of his post that they had spent two delightful days exploring and acting like tourists in London, taking in all the stunning sights.
To conclude, he expressed his affection by saying “I love you” alongside a touching picture of Kym during their delightful romantic excursion.
He wrote: ‘Life is really fantastic at the moment. I spent two marvelous days in London, staying at @strandpalace, and it was simply delightful.’
‘Fantastic meals, fresh tattoos, a visit to Camden Market, performances at The O2 Arena (Barbican Centre) and lots of joyful moments. I adore you, @marsh_kym❤️’
I’ve found myself compelled to clarify recent speculations about my relationship with Samuel. While some may find it surprising given our age gap similar to that of parent and child, I feel it’s important to express that he is not just another acquaintance, but my soulmate.
Samuel, whom she affectionately calls “the most remarkable man,” is the same age (29) as her oldest child, David Cunliffe.
It seems that Kym’s friends are concerned that her fresh relationship with someone younger might disappoint them, should it fail or lose momentum.
The popular soap actress is backed by her friends, who seem joyful that she’s found a partner, yet they reportedly worry about the possibility of her getting hurt in the process.
The actress has a son named David (age 29) and a daughter called Emilie (age 27), who she had in a past relationship with construction worker David Cunliffe.
