BBC Strictly fans make same point and say 'it's unfair' as Tess and Claudia share Kym Marsh announcement

On Saturday night the Strictly dancefloor was missing a couple as soap favourite Kym Marsh was forced to miss this weekend's performance after testing positive for Covid-19. The former Coronation Street star and her pro dance partner Graziano Di Prima had made it to week 10 in the BBC dance contest.

The pair scored 33 points out of a possible 40 for a powerful paso doble to a Rihanna megamix last weekend in Blackpool. However, on Tuesday, the sad news was announced that she was out of the show 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."
