Kym Marsh quits Twitter

London July 5 (IANS) Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has quit Twitter after becoming obsessed with negative comments.

The 41-year-old broke the news in her latest OK! magazine column reports mirror.co.uk.

Explaining why she was taking a break from the micro-blogging site she wrote: When you take a break from the world of Twitter you realise it can take over your life a bit - you can become a bit obsessed with reading what everyone s up to or people s opinions on this and that.

She added: Plus most of the time you ll see loads of dead nice comments but then you ll see one nasty one and that s all you focus on.

And it seems that Marsh has some advice when it comes to the world of social media for her fellow soap stars.

She said: When anyone starts at Coronation Street I tell them never to read (comments about them online) - you d just want to quit immediately!

Her self-imposed exile appears to be a relatively recent one as up until July 1 she was still posting content on her Twitter account.

This isn t the first time she s left social media as she took herself off Twitter in 2014 after a troll targeted her children in a tweet.
