Coronation Street star Kym Marsh doesn’t like it when people refer to her partner Scott Ratcliff as her ‘toyboy’.
The actress — who portrayed Michelle Connor in the long-running ITV soap — wrote in her OK! magazine column: ‘Kate Beckinsale hit out at critics of her relationship with 22-year-old musician Goody Grace.’
‘Kate, who is 46, said she that men can do whatever they like but it can feel like a ‘political act when women over 32 have any fun at all’.
‘I totally agree with her.’
‘I’m with a younger man.’
‘Scott is 32 and I’m almost 44, I hate when people describe him as my ‘toy boy’, as I think it’s patronising to him!’
‘Men are often with much younger women and no one bats an eyelid, but when it’s the reverse, people seem to judge.’
‘I’m in the best relationship of my life and Scott and I have so much in common.
“Age is just a number.’
Kym was recently reunited Scott, who had returned from his army tour of Afghanistan.

Kym played Michelle in Coronation Street between 2006 and 2019, and has appeared in a number of the soap’s biggest ever storylines during that period.
She is currently taking a break from the serial drama, and thus made her final appearance at the end of last year.
Coronation Street continues Wednesday 12 May at 7:30pm on ITV
