It has been a week of drama so far. First Olivia Attwood is forced to leave the Jungle just hours in to the start of the new I'm a Celebrity, now Kym Marsh pulls out of presenting duties on BBC's Morning Live. The news came after wowing audiences on Strictly Come Dancing over the weekend.
The former Coronation Street star (Kym played Michelle Connor for 13 years in the soap) and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima wowed judges at the weekend and came a close joint second on the leader board after their Argentine tango to John Powell’s Assassin’s Tango. Wearing all black, the pair secured a score of 37 with a routine filled with lifts and high kicks.
The pair even ended up getting their first 10, awarded by judge Anton Du Beke, who praised Kym, 46, her intensity and said he “loved it". Head judge Shirley Ballas said she felt it was “by far one of the most accomplished routines" she has seen Kym perform, while Craig Revel Horwood noted that apart from Marsh’s raised shoulders he felt it was "absolutely perfect". Kym's response to the praise was: "I could cry".
