Kym Marsh says her anxiety 'threatened to take hold' during time on BBC Strictly Come Dancing

Kym Marsh has opened up about her struggles with anxiety whilst competing in Strictly Come Dancing. The Manchester actress, who is best known for playing Michelle Connor in Coronation Street, appeared in the most recent series of the BBC dance competition.

The Morning Live presenter was partnered up with professional dancer Graziano Di Prima and the couple made their mark during their 10 week stint on the show, before losing out in the dance off in musicals week to CBBC star Molly Rainford and her partner Carlos Gu.

During her time in the competition, notable moments saw Kym being forced to take a week off after catching Covid-19 and dancing the American Smooth in tribute to her son Archie, who died in 2009 after being born prematurely.
