Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is said to be considering deleting her Twitter account after online trolls targeted her children.
According to reports, one user told Kym that he hoped her children David, Emily and Polly would get meningitis.

The actress, who often shares photos of her children, is said to be tired of this abuse and has not tweeted since Christmas Day.
However, a source told The Mirror that her online absence is because a family member has been ill during the festive period.
“It’s absolute nonsense. Kym loves being on Twitter and engaging with Corrie fans.
“A member of her family has been quite poorly the last few days which has meant she has been offline as for Kym family always comes before anything else. She’ll be back tweeting soon enough” said the insider.
The 38-year-old recently became engaged to her boyfriend, personal trainer Dan Hooper.
