Kym Marsh kisses Dan Hooper (c) Twitter
Kym Marsh has branded Stephanie Waring as "bitter".
The 'Coronation Street' actress took to Twitter to defend herself against accusations she began dating new love interest Dan Hooper just months after he split from the 'Hollyoaks' star.
Kym wrote: "#bitter...Never fails to surprise me what some people do for money (sic)"
The comments come after Stephanie slammed Kym in a Sunday newspaper calling her former pal "heartless" after hearing of her alleged romance with Dan - the father of her three-year-old daughter, Lexi Grace - three months after she confided in Kym about her relationship troubles during a night out at the National Television Awards.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I'm shocked and upset. I can't believe Kym has done this to me. It is killing me. There is an unwritten rule that if you are friends with somebody you don't go near their ex partners. Especially when children are involved. He's not just some guy that I went out with for a year. This is a man I spent half a decade with and had a child with."
Kym has denied claims she is in a relationship with Dan and her representatives told MailOnline the soap star is "hurt" by the accusations, adding that the pair are "entitled to socialise with whomever they wish".
However, Dan seemingly confirmed his relationship with Kym by posting a photo of him kissing the mother-of-four on Twitter on Sunday night - April 27.
The caption reads: "@msm4rsh and hoopsy great night. #nobulls**t (sic)".
