Sharing a snap of her with David, Kym told fans: "For the first time in my life….I have no words.

"I love you dad. Always and forever. Rest easy Pops. Goodnight godbless."

Kym's former Coronation Street co-star Faye Brookes replied: "Sending you and your family all the love beautiful lady."

While The Speakmans wrote: "Such a lovely man. We’re so incredibly sorry for your loss ❤️ Lots of love xxx."

David died after battling prostate cancer, having been diagnosed in 2021.

A statement from the Marsh family paid tribute to a "much-loved husband, dad, granddad, great grandad and friend to many".

It added: "It is with immense sadness that we confirm the passing of David Marsh.

"A much loved husband, dad, grandad, great grandad and friend to many, David passed away peacefully at home yesterday surrounded by his family.

"We are truly heartbroken and ask for privacy at this incredibly difficult time."

David had recently come off treatment after the cancer spread to his bones.

Last month, Morning Live presenter Kym - who has an ice cream tattoo in tribute to David - broke down in tears as she told the show's viewers of his terminal illness.

She and co-host Gethin Jones were joined by David, then 73, and her mum Pauline in the studio to raise awareness of the disease.

Kym, 47, had taken time away from Morning Live to be with her father before his death.
