There may not be an actual war threat currently but theres always a risk when youre in these dangerous places.

It wont be easy watching him go away, and I will worry until I see him again.

Before his deployment, Kym planned a series of surprises and fun days out for Scott to make the most of their time together before he had to leave the UK.

Kym is a mother of four children and became a grandma for the first time earlier this year when her eldest daughter Emily Mae welcomed a baby boy with boyfriend of two years, Mikey Hoszowskyj.

Kyms daughter Emily and her son David were born while the actress was dating builder Dave Cunliffe, before she found fame on the reality TV show Popstars in 2000. Following her split from Dave, the star went on to marry EastEnders actor Jack Ryder in 2002, but she admitted to cheating on him with actor Jamie Lomas in March 2009 and the couple were granted a quick divorce.
