Kym Marsh is set to return to 'Coronation Street' next month and has revealed her character is to bed Steve McDonald.

The former Hear'Say star, who plays singer Michelle Connor, is to cause quite a stir on her return to Weatherfield.

In her first few episodes back, Michelle leaps into bed with Steve, played by actor Simon Gregson, whose ex-girlfriend Ronnie was recently arrested for a hit-and-run accident which she tried to frame Steve for.

Michelle will also attract the attentions of drummer Vernon Tomlin whose band she previously performed for.

The percussionist, who is dating Steve's mum Liz McDonald, becomes obsessed with her after she lands a job as a barmaid in the Rovers Return.

His infatuation is sure to spell trouble between Michelle and the McDonalds.

Kym previously admitted it was one of her life-long ambitions to land a role on the soap.

She said: "I was brought up on characters Like Karen McDonald and Bet Lynch. I think I can combine the brashness of both. It's a dream come true."
