Kym Marsh, who is famous for her role as Michelle Connor on the ITV soap Coronation Street, is set to appear in the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing. She currently co-presents BBC Morning Live with Welsh presenter Gethin Jones and she will be heading into the Strictly world of glitz and glamour.
The star, who shot to fame in the pop band Hear'Say, has revealed her heartbreaking reason for taking part in the dancing show. Her father, David, has been diagnosed with incurable cancer and this has encouraged Kym to do as much as she can, as the Daily Mail reports.
She said: "Since he was diagnosed last March I've just decided to grab everything while I can. Without being melancholy, we don't know how long we've got him for, so you've got to make the best of these situations. My dad's diagnosis does change things. He's been telling me for years, ''You never know what's around the corner, so grab things with both hands'.''
