Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh 'shocked' as intimate photos of her get leaked and shared on porn sites

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has reportedly become a victim of the nude photo scandal after her private photos were leaked and shared on porn sites. The intimate images of the actress were initially shared on Twitter and "sordid celebrity website" before they were uploaded on adult sites.

Marsh is said to be upset with the leak, but she didn't let this effect one of the biggest nights of her life. Despite the leak, she attended the British Soap Awards on Saturday night and took home the Best Female Dramatic Performance award.

Marsh, who plays the role of Michelle Connor, had no idea about the alleged hack, but sources close to her told Mirror Online that she is upset and shocked.

"It's very upsetting for Kym and has come as a huge shock as they are clearly private photographs that should never have been put into the public domain," a source told Mirror Online.

"The person who has put them out there has committed a criminal offence. The pictures are very old and she has no idea how anyone got hold of them. She believes they must have been stolen and posted online but Kym had no idea," the source said.

"Sadly, she is just one of many high-profile individuals who has been targeted in this way. She has instructed lawyers to pursue those responsible and will also be making a complaint to the police. She will want whoever has done this brought to justice for herself and anyone else who has been targeted," the source added.

According to the report, hackers had threatened to leak several celebrities' images and the list included Marsh. BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood's private photos were also circulated on Twitter, but it was later said that the photos of "Carol" were fake.

It is believed that the hackers obtained the photo as a part of the iCloud hack in April but released it now. In April, nude photo scandal called Fappening 2.0 shocked the entertainment industry after hackers leaked the private and nude photos of celebrities, including Emma Watson, Amanda Seyfried and Miley Cyrus.
