Did Lee Ryder?

Kym Ryder's night in hotel with star Lee Sharpe

By Keith Gladdis

CORRIE star Kym Ryder spent the night in a hotel room with womanising ex-footballer Lee Sharpe, the News of the World can reveal.

Their intimate evening came just a month after she split up with husband Jack Ryder.

The pair openly kissed and cuddled before retiring to Lee's four-star suite in the early hours.

Former Manchester United ace Lee—who appeared on reality TV show Celebrity Love Island and is a legendary scorer with women——was on the judging panel with Kym at the Miss Manchester final on Thursday.

One onlooker at the contest said: "It was electric between Lee and Kym from the start.

"The best-looking girls in the city were parading in front of Lee yet he only had eyes for Kym.

Cuddling

"She looked sensational in a black, sequinned mini-dress and is clearly over Jack.

"It will come as no surprise to anyone who saw them kissing and cuddling that the two spent the night together."

After the final at Manchester's posh Palace Hotel Kym, 31, and 37-year-old Lee hit the city's nightspots with pals. First they headed to top club Panacea before going on to late-night casino Manchester 235.

They found the time to pop over to the Miss Manchester after-show party at the Relish Bar but soon returned to Manchester 235.

Throughout the night they were seen canoodling before they and another couple went back to Lee's four-star suite at the Palace Hotel. They ordered room service and partied until the small hours before the other couple left.

Our source added: "Kym stuck to Lee like glue throughout the evening and there was a real chemistry between them.

"Kym looked like a million dollars. There is no way a man like Lee could have resisted her.

"Everyone knows Lee's reputation, especially in Manchester from when he played for Manchester United and tried to bed half the girls in the city.

"If there was anyone Kym could have met to help her get over her split, it's Lee. He is Jack Ryder's worst nightmare."

Lee's long line of conquests includes fellow Love Island star Abi Titmuss. Kym, who plays barmaid Michelle Connor in Coronation Street, and former EastEnders star Jack were married for six years.

The actress, who shot to fame in reality TV pop group Hear'Say, has two children from an earlier relationship.

A spokesman for Kym said: "She and Lee are just good mates."
