And in the words of the tabloid, it's a "mega" deal which will see Kym take over the reins from Alison King, who plays Carla Connor, as the new "female star" of Corrie.
As always, with an unconfirmed story source, take things with a pinch of salt unless or until otherwise confirmed by ITV.
Mr Curry Sauce tells The Sun: "She [Kym] will take over from Alison as Corrie's best all round performer being involved in the top storylines all the time. Losing Alison has been a devastating body blow deep down to the inner sanctum because not only was she a tremendous actress but Carla was seen as having everything for a soap role, sexiness, funny, ruthless, a boozer and depressive at the same time but all the time must watch TV. There is no doubt that Kym can step into her [shoes] no problem – and the bosses are chuffed to bits."
However a source for the show, as well as Kym Marsh’s spokesperson, have both denied the claims. The ITV source told Metro.co.uk that the rumour is ‘totally untrue’ explaining that as Kym’s contract ends in July, no negotiations have yet taken place surrounding her next one.
