Kym Marsh cut an effortlessly stylish figure in an all-black look as she graced the red carpet at a Channel 5 event on Thursday.

It comes just a few weeks after the former Coronation Street star, 48, reportedly split from her boyfriend Samuel Thomas, 29, after a whirlwind six month romance.

Despite this, the actress was glowing as she attended the London event in a black turtleneck teamed with bootcut black jeans and a chic leather jacket.

She wore her brunette locks in a sleek straight style and opted for a glamorous palette of makeup for the outing to elevate her natural beauty. 

The event Kym attended was the launch event for 5, uniting Channel 5 and streaming service My5 under one brand.

Kym was joined at the event by GMB’s Richard Arnold as the pair are teaming up for Channel 5’s The Weekend Travel Show.

Sources told The Sun that once their tour finished, Kym, who is 19 years older than Samuel, found it more difficult to spent time with him.

A source said: ‘Kym and Sam fell head over heels when they first met and couldn’t wait to tell the world.

‘But once Kym’s role in 101 Dalmatians ended it became harder to spend time together and some of the magic they had at the beginning just disappeared.

‘It’s such a shame, especially before Christmas but Kym surrounded herself with family.’

Kym was forced to defend herself for revealing she is dating Samuel, who is the same age as her son, having gushed on social media that he is her ‘soulmate.’ 

At 29, Samuel – who she refers to as ‘the most amazing man ever’ – is the same age as her eldest child, David Cunliffe.

Kym’s friends were reportedly worried that her new romance with a younger man could all end in heartache if it ‘fizzled out’.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Kym Marsh for comment.

Also in attendance at Wednesday’s Channel 5 event was JLS star JB Gill, who looked dapper in a green polo shirt layered with a zip-up jacket and baggy trousers.
