‘I've had enough. I want a divorce’
After the newspaper reported that a furious row between the couple seven weeks ago ended with Kym having to call 999, the Mirror has claimed the actress wants to divorce her husband, Eastenders actor Jamie Lomas, because of his ‘erratic behaviour.’
‘I've had enough. I want a divorce,’ she is said to have told a friend, adding: ‘Jamie’s behaviour has been erratic, at best, for some time now. This is the only option.’
The newspaper’s source added: ‘I think Kym has known for a long time, in her hearts of hearts, that things weren’t going to work out.’
'Anyone who knows Kym can’t believe she would have an affair. She loved Jamie with all of her heart but sadly it looks like there is no going back'
Speaking about the argument that led to a 999 call, they said: ‘The bust-up at their house a few weeks ago was the final straw. It left Kym frightened for her safety. She can’t live like that.’
The news comes after reports in the Sun newspaper on Saturday that Kym and her Coronation Street co-star Oliver Mellor started a five-month affair after an alcohol-fuelled night out with the show’s cast last Valentine’s day.
Kym, 37, is said to be concerned about the couple’s two-year old daughter Polly, two, as well as her son David, 18, and daughter Emily, 15, from a previous relationship.
‘She desperately tried to make the marriage work for the sake of their daughter but it’s become obvious that things can’t continue. Kym’s only focus now is her children, said the newspaper’s source.
They added: ‘To say she is devastated is an understatement. Anyone who knows Kym can’t believe she would have an affair. She loved Jamie with all of her heart but sadly it looks like there is no going back.’
Kym is said to be staying with a friend after news of her alleged affair with Corrie co-star Oliver broke.
Jamie, 33, demanded a showdown with Oliver, 32, via Twitter, writing: ‘You need to come and see me,’ before deleting the message 10 minutes later.
Kym and Jamie were married in September 2012, before announcing a trial separation after 11 months. They got back together in September.
