Kym Marsh reveals huge tattoo tribute to her dad as he battles cancer
KYM Marsh revealed a huge tattoo tribute for her dad on Father’s Day.
The actress, 47, surprised Dave, with an inking of an ice cream on her forearm because he has become “obsessed” with the sweet treats since his incurable cancer diagnosis.
Kym shared a video as she unveiled it to him for the first time yesterday as they all fell about laughing.
The former Corrie star told her followers: “So…..I’ve had a new tattoo for my dad!!!
“Since his incurable cancer diagnosis he has been obsessed with ice cream! He literally has one every day!
“So I got an ice cream on the inside of my forearm for him to remind me of my wonderful dad, Every time I look at it!! He’s the best ever! Love you dad.”
Kym, currently appearing in Waterloo Road, previously told how her dad was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer following a PSA test — a blood test which helps to detect the disease.
She revealed: “I think a normal level is between two and four and dad’s was well over thousand, so they knew something wasn’t right.”
Despite experiencing pain and other symptoms, Dave initially delayed a check-up with his GP due to the pandemic.
Kym said: “Dad knew how busy the NHS was with the pandemic and didn’t want to be a burden so put off going to the doctors.
“Unfortunately, by the time he did go and the cancer was found it had spread into his leg, rib, pelvis and spine.
“The diagnosis was devastating for all of us but he’s received the best care possible since.”
