Kym Marsh has revealed the one sign she’s received from her late father David beyond the grave.
The former Coronation Street star, 48, was very close with her father who died aged 78 in January, following a battle with prostate cancer.
Since his death, Kim spotted a little clue that proved to her he is looking down on her – a simple five pound note.
Kim said she and David had a long-running joke where he would constantly ask Kym to ‘lend me a fiver’.
And in the lead up to his funeral, Kim said she found a five pound note in her car which made her think ‘That’s my dad’.

The actress revealed that she takes ‘comfort’ and finds ‘hope’ in the subtle communication with her father.
She told The Sun: ‘Every time Dad came on Morning Live, he would say to Gethin, “She’s still not given me that fiver”. It was a constant running joke.
‘Shortly after dad passed away, I randomly found a five pound note in my car. I don’t know if people believe in stuff like this but I don’t know how it got there.
‘Whether you believe in it or not, it’s not wrong to take comfort from something. I found a fiver and I thought, “That’s my dad”. It gives you something to hold on to and it gives you hope, all those little reminders.’
Kym also admitted that she placed that said five pound note inside his coffin and said: ‘There you go, Dad, I’ve given you your fiver now”.
David’s passing has led Kym and her family to work hard to raise awareness and funds towards charities helping against prostate cancer.
She explained that her son-in-law Mikey Hoszowskyj ran the London Marathon for Prostate Cancer UK in April with ‘a fiver in his pocket for Dad’.
David was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer three years ago, and Kym previously said he ‘inspires’ her on a daily basis.

Kym said: ‘It really is day by day, you don’t know. We plan for things and we are trying to plan and make as many memories aren’t we?’
The star said coping with her father’s illness had brought her and her siblings closer adding: ‘I’ve got two older brothers and an older sister. Very rare that we all get together but we’ve all been doing lots together.’
