WENN Kym Marsh has revealed that Lucien Laviscount was embarrassed about filming a kissing scene with her for an upcoming episode of Coronation Street.

The actress admitted that she was also quite worried when she heard about the storyline between her character Michelle Connor and 17-year-old Ben Richardson.

She told The AP: "When I heard about it I thought 'Oh no! They're not turning me into a paedophile, please. I can't play that storyline. It would ruin me completely.' But it wasn't that at all."

Marsh explained: "It's just to highlight the fact she's a young mum. Basically, he's going to misread the situation and he does kiss her, but she doesn't reciprocate. She's absolutely horrified."

Asked if it was awkward filming the scene, the 33-year-old said: "He was more embarrassed, bless him. It was very flattering for me to have this 17-year-old boy [have a crush]."
