Fancy Piers as your new Corrie love interest, Kym?

It's been a tumultuous time for Michelle in Coronation Street as she comes to terms with having a stillborn baby and her partner Steve turns out to have a love child - and today Kym Marsh joined us to speak about playing the gripping role.

On her character's storyline echoing her own personal heartache - she lost her son Archie in 2009 when he was born 18 weeks prematurely - she told us: "My reasons behind agreeing to ahead with it were in the hopes that it might help somebody somewhere, that someone could relate to it and it might spark people to talk."

She added she was 'proud' of the show for handling the subject so thoroughly and sensitively and explained why she's campaigning for the law to change so that stillborn babies born before 24 weeks get a birth certificate.

And admirer Piers couldn't help but hint that he'd like a part in the soap - as Kym's new love interest! Watch the video above to see what Kym made of that idea...
