Kym Marsh, at exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), embodies a petite powerhouse in British entertainment, her compact stature enhancing her vibrant on-screen and stage presence.
She first captured fame as a singer in the reality-formed band Hear'Say, where her 5ft 4 height suited high-energy pop performances, though she later reflected on comfort eating that pushed her beyond her ideal size 8-10 frame.
Transitioning to acting, Marsh shone as the feisty Michelle Connor in Coronation Street, her small build amplifying the character's bold, unyielding persona amid soap opera drama.
Born 13 June 1976 in Whiston, Merseyside, she briefly adopted the name Kym Lomas in 2012.
