Kym Marsh was forced to defend her new love interests on Sunday evening after cynical Instagram followers savaged the actress for dating a man who is the same age as her son. 

The mother-of-three, 48, confirmed she has found love with fellow actor Samuel Thomas, her co-star in a touring production of 101 Dalmatians. 

At 29, Thomas – who she refers to as ‘the most amazing man ever’ – is the same age as her eldest child, David Cunliffe.

And Instagram followers were quick to make the connection after Kym announced her latest romance by describing Thomas as her ‘soulmate.’ 

Commenting on the post, one unimpressed follower wrote: ‘Jesus…… Another amazing man…..5 minute wonder… he looks like your son.’ 

A second added: ‘He looks like your son! Kym I like you but keep it private.’ 

Responding to the posts, the actress – whose third marriage ended just 13-months ago – snapped: ‘do one.’ 

THOMAS REPLIED TOO

New boyfriend Thomas also weighed in, adding: ‘I wonder what’s missing from your life that you need to comment on others. Sad really.’
