'Coronation Street' star Kym Marsh has found a new man in the form of Blackpool striker Michael Chopra to get over her marriage split.
Marsh has struck up an unlikely friendship with troubled footballer Chopra.
The actress is still getting over her split from second husband, EastEnders actor Jamie Lomas.
Chopra is a recovering gambling addict who was caught up in a cocaine trial in November, the Mirror reported.
The pair met last month at Blackpool Rocks dance event when Chopra was celebrating his 30th birthday.
