Strictly Come Dancing fans think they have spotted what could be a boost for Kym Marsh this weekend after she was forced to miss the start of rehearsals. At the start of this week, the actress and presenter had to pull out of her presenting gig on Morning Live as well as call in sick for rehearsals for the dance contest.
Kym was unable to host the BBC One show with Gethin Jones as she had "caught a bug" on Sunday. Gethin and Oti Mabuse, who had stepped in to replace the usual host, were given a health update by Kym when she appeared on the BBC One show via video link. The former Coronation Street star told the hosts she was determined to recover so she could dance again on Saturday evening with her partner, Graziano Di Prima.
Gethin revealed Kym was on the phone with her doctor on Sunday night as she was not feeling well. He said: "We thought we would give her a call this morning to see how she is doing after Saturday night." Kym, wearing a cosy pink jumper, then appeared speaking live from her Warrington home She said: "I'm all right, I just caught a little bug off one of the children, unfortunately. I caught it yesterday on the train on the way home so that was nice." Gethin appeared concerned about Kym being dance-fit for the next show.
