Coronation Street star Kym Marsh joined the final day of celebrations of the annual Sparkle Weekend in Manchester.

The national event celebrates the transgender community with a weekend of free festivities held at Sackville Gardens.

And Corrie favourite Kym and daughter Emilie glammed up to perform on stage on Sunday afternoon.

Kym wore a back minidress teamed with strappy heels, while 16-year-old daughter Emilie chose a daring plunge front catsuit ahead of singing live at the event.

Meanwhile Kym headed onto stage to join the judging panel of the annual Miss Sparkle contest, for trans girls to strut their stuff on a catwalk for the event’s own take on a beauty pageant.

Newly-single Kym looked to be having a whale of a time with her fellow judges, as they deliberated on who would be crowned Miss Sparkle and Miss Golden Sparkle.

Over 4,500 people have joined the celebrations over the weekend, making it what organisers say is the largest free trans event in the world.

There haa been live music and events, talks and workshops held across the weekend, and on Saturday there was a high profile attendee with Kellie Maloney, the former boxing promoter, who has had a high profile journey to womanhood in the past year.

She spoke of her relief at attending this year’s Sparkle event no longer having to hide herself away.

She posted on her official Twitter feed: “What a difference not having to hide and avoid people and photos... last 2 Sparkle Weekends I was so shy and afraid of being noticed, not now.”

Sunday night’s entertainment was brought to a close with live performances by long-time Sparkle supporter, Happy Mondays star Rowetta, and Celebrity Big Brother star Kavana.

Sparkle is a national trans charity that holds events throughout the year for fundraising and trans awareness, as well as organising the annual celebration weekend.

Organisers aim to promote a positive image of the trans community over the weekend, as well as provide a safe place for people to express themselves as trans.
