Kym Marsh is out of 'Strictly Come Dancing' this weekend after contracting COVID-19.
Graziano Di Prima and Kym Marsh
The 46-year-old actress and her professional partner Graziano Di Prima will not be able to dance this Saturday (26.11.22) due to the coronavirus protocols that are in place on the BBC One ballroom show.
They will be able to compete again the following Saturday (03.12.22).
A 'Strictly Come Dancing' spokesperson said: "Kym Marsh has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Kym and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend. Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week.”
Kym's COVID-19 diagnosis is the latest health problem she has suffered on 'Strictly'.
The former 'Coronation Street' star had to miss some rehearsals after falling ill a few weeks ago.
She said at the time: "I will pull myself through, it is only one of those 24 hour things and I think you have got to get out there and do it, no matter what. Even if you have bits dropping off you have to get out there!”
Kym - who shot to fame on ITV talent show 'Popstars' when she won a place in the group Hear'Say back in 2001 - also suffered a debilitating panic attack which left her unable to practice with Graziano, 28.
Opening up on the medical moment, she said: "It just came over me, almost out of nowhere, and I couldn’t carry on.
"I’ve always suffered from panic attacks. It’s something I don’t mind talking about because I know it can affect anyone at any time.
"Sometimes it has been ages (since an attack) and then suddenly one just hits."
