Kym Lomas puts 'dream' home on the market after just 18 months

Kym Lomas puts 'dream' home on the market after just 18 months

Coronation Street star Kym Lomas has put her dream home up for sale less than 18 months after buying it.

Neighbours in the posh street are stunned at the move, which has fuelled speculation that her marriage to actor Jamie Lomas is back on the rocks.

One resident, who asked not to be named, said: “It is strange to be off so quickly. People who move into this road tend to stay for a long time because they like it so much.”

Kym, 37, and Jamie, 33, live in Manchester but often spend five nights a week apart while he films EastEnders in London.

Kym, who partied until 3am with friends at the weekend, insists the family are selling the five-bedroom house in Worsley, Greater Manchester, because it is too big for them. But locals are baffled.

The neighbour added: “We thought the family were very much at home here. The first thing we knew about them going was when the for sale signs went up.

“The asking price of £650,000 is thought to be the same or maybe slightly lower than when they bought it â€" so it’s not as though they are making a quick profit.”

Kym, who plays feisty factory boss Michelle Connor, and Jamie moved into the “imposing” semi early in 2011 believing it was the perfect way to welcome their new baby Polly into the world.

Her children from a previous relationship, teenagers David and Emily, have also been seen there on a regular basis.

Kym and Jamie were rumoured to be having difficulties when he went to Los Angeles this year looking for work.

A source close to the couple said: “Right now Kym is delighted that he’s bagged himself a role in one of the biggest soaps.

“But friends fear it’s exactly like the LA situation where Kym was happy to support his quest to break into Hollywood. But then reality hit and the problems started.

“The schedules at EastEnders are as intense as Corona tion Street so it will often mean spending five days a week apart, But Kym is ignoring all of that and looking for a place to rent in London together.”
