BBC Strictly fans have been left unimpressed with the announcement that one contestant would be given a pass straight through to the following week, with some describing it as ‘unfair’ on other contestants.
Soap star and former popstar Kym Marsh was missing from the dancefloor this week after testing positive for Covid. It was revealed on Tuesday that the former Coronation Street star was out of the show for this weekend. A Strictly 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."
After missing this weekends episode of the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition, Kym and her pro dance partner Graziano Di Prima are due to return to the ballroom next week, all being well.
