Strictly Kym Marsh tests positive for Covid and won’t perform his week – a fortnight after she nearly quit the show over a ‘crippling panic attack’
Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid, forcing her and professional partner Graziana Di Prima to be out of competition this weekend.
A spokesperson for Strictly told MailOnline: ‘Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, Kym and Graziano will not be participating in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
“Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that if all goes well, they’ll come back the following week.”
Bad luck! Strictly speaking, Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid and won’t perform his week – two weeks after she almost quit the show due to a ‘crippling panic attack’
The announcement comes just two weeks after Kym admitted she nearly left the show following a crippling panic attack just hours before the live show.
Kym and Graziano received 31 points for their American Smooth to Chasing Cars from Snow Patrol during the eighth episode of the show, which she dedicated to her late son Archie.
He died after giving birth prematurely in February 2009.

The actress said in her VT: “It reminds us of my son Archie. I gave birth to him prematurely and sadly he passed away shortly after.
The emotional star continued, “I feel like by doing this dance it will not only be in memory of Archie, but will also get people talking about their own experiences.”
Kym and her ex-husband Jamie Lomas were heartbroken when their child passed away at just 21 weeks, following a premature birth in February 2009.
Judge Motsi Mabuse said, “The message you were trying to get across, the vulnerability and vulnerability came across, it was so clear. It started so well, I don’t know what happened. There was a sudden change of energy and I don’t know why. There was a great ending and it started so great.’
