Kym Marsh out of this week's Strictly Come Dancing after positive Covid test

Former Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, but will return the following week to compete, it was announced.

The 46-year-old brought drama to the dance floor on Saturday as she performed a powerful paso doble to We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris alongside her professional partner Graziano Di Prima at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom.

On Tuesday, 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."
