Kym Marsh shares exciting trip with daughter after announcing BBC Strictly Come Dancing news

Kym Marsh has revealed she headed on an exciting trip with her daughter after she was announced as one of this year's contestants on Strictly Come Dancing. The former Coronation Street star was the second celebrity to be announced for the BBC One dance contest earlier this month.

She was on holiday with her family at the time of the announcement, which was made on BBC Breakfast on August 4 just after fellow former Corrie star Will Mellor was revealed to be the first famous face taking to the ballroom this autumn.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast via video call from holiday, Kym, 46, told hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt: "I am really looking forward to it. I am nervous – but I am really looking forward to it."
