Like mother like daughter! Kym Marsh flaunts her toned legs in a tiny mini dress as she's joined by her glam daughter Emilie at transgender festival

She may been in the judges' chair and not actually on the catwalk, but Kym Marsh made sure to stand out among the beauty contest competitors at Manchester's Sparkle Weekend on Sunday.

The Coronation Street star was one of the VIP guests at the city's annual national transgender celebration, where she presided over the Miss Sparkle competition.

The 39-year-old looked gorgeous in a tiny mini-dress which showed off her toned legs as she joined her daughter Emilie Cunliffe, who looked equally glam in a stunning jumpsuit, at the event.

Kym made the most of her curves in her tiny navy dress which accentuated her trim waist with statement belt detail.

The real focus though was on the soap star's tanned and toned legs, which were topped off by some towering white platform heels.

The actress styled her dark locks into a high ponytail with a quiff and finished off her glam look with dark eye makeup.
