Polly you are so very special. For so many reasons. You brought me everything. The light in my darkness, the sun through my rain clouds, the joy after the pain. "You have given us so many special memories over the years, it’s been a pleasure to watch you grow into the beautiful young lady you are today. Don’t get me wrong….you’re also a pest at times. you aren’t always an easy customer and boyyyyy do you have a temper!!! Hahah (wonder where you get that from?) hahah! But Polly we would never change any of it." She added: "You are our perfect girl and we adore you. Thank you for being so brilliant, quirky, funny as hell!, feisty, challenging, talented, loving and most of all thank you for being you. I am so proud to be your mum. Today we celebrate you! Happy birthday gorgeous girl. Love you always and forever." Kym and Jamie united to celebrate their daughter's 13th birthday (Image: Kym Marsh Instagram) Kym then later took to her
Instagram story to share a snap of how she and Jamie marked the occasion. She shared a group photo of their extended family enjoying a big dinner together at a restaurant but Kym laughed as the birthday girl didn't want to be involved in the photo herself. "Gorgeous night celebrating Polly's 13th!! Although she didn't want to be in the photo," Kym typed alongside crying laughing emojis. "Beautiful night with beautiful people celebrating a beautiful girl," the Morning Live host added alongside a string of red heart emojis. She also later gushed over Jamie's fiancée, saying: "Sooo gorgeous to see you @drjessbell and looking so blooming beautiful." But Kym's weekend ended up being a bittersweet one as she later took to social media on Sunday (March 24) with a message about her dad. The
Actress,
Singer and presenter was left devastated back in January when her beloved father David, known as Dave, died. Kym had an emotional day following the death of her dad (Image: Kym Marsh Instagram) Sharing a picture of her dad beaming with his favourite ice cream, Kym said on Instagram in a new post: "So today we reunited dad with his parents and his brother and sister. Rest easy there now Pops. Oh how I miss you," adding a number of broken heart emojis. Dave shared his prostate
cancer diagnosis in 2021. He appeared on BBC's Morning Live with Kym and his wife Pauline after he wanted to make others aware of the symptoms and to seek medical help. In November 2023, Kym's parents appeared on the BBC One programme to provide an update with Kym saying they were living "day by day" as her father’s cancer had spread into his bones before it was announced on January 12 that Dave had sadly died.
