Coronation Street Blog: Kym Marsh announced as host of glitzy ceremony

Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle McDonald in Coronation Street, is coming to the north-east next month. As this is my manor, I've already offered to put the kettle on for her and buy some biscuits in!

Kym has been chosen to present the Pride of the North East awards dinner. It celebrates the most inspirational people in the north-east

Kym said: “I’m really looking forward to it — I love the North East anyway, so what a wonderful thing to be invited to do.”

“There are some very inspirational people out there and we should be celebrating them. I think it’s a wonderful thing to do for these brave and wonderful people. It’s especially nice to be able to celebrate fundraisers, and to hear stories about people helping others. I know I’ll meet awe-inspiring people who are going through their own battles and being so brave.”

The Newcastle Evening Chronicle are looking for a young reporter to cover the event. Could this be you? Find out more here.
