Kimberley Gail Marsh (formerly Ryder and Lomas; born 13 June 1976) is an English actress, presenter and former singer-songwriter, who rose to fame in 2001 after winning a place in the band Hear'Say, as a result of appearing on the reality television series Popstars. Hear'Say enjoyed brief success, achieving two UK number one singles and a UK number one album, but Marsh left the band in 2002 to pursue a solo career.
The following is a BBC review on Kym Marsh's album Standing Tall, "Otherwise, Kym Marsh's power ballads like "Live Forever" and "Cross Every River" dominate this 15 track album, filling it unnecessarily with over idealistic notions. 'I will cross every river / I will sail every sea / I will climb every mountain if it will you bring you back to me.' Really Kym, hasn't it all been said before? Surely there's more to good pop songs than endless happy endings? If this is the best Kym can do it won't be such a happy ending for her..."
