Strictly Come Dancing fans taken aback as they see Kym Marsh's daughter

Many Strictly Come Dancing fans made the same comment on Saturday evening as Kym Marsh shared snaps of her daughter on social media.

The former Coronation Street star has been forced to miss this week's instalment of the dancing competition, after testing positive for Covid-19. A spokesperson for the BBC said that if she is healthy to do so she can return at a later date.

The actress and singer has gone down a storm with fans as she and her partner, Graziano Di Prima, have been firm favourites from the start. The pair made their way to Blackpool Tower, a pinnacle moment in the competition, but they are absent from the ballroom this weekend.

On Saturday, Kym shared a number of photos of her daughter Emilie, as the 25-year-old celebrated her birthday. Captioning the post, the 46-year-old, from Whiston, said: "25 years since you made our worlds a brighter place to be! You are and always have been our sunshine!"

She added: "You have such a good heart Emilie. You would absolutely turn yourself inside out to help others and I know that only too well of late especially. I won’t ever forget the love and constant support you have given to me, particularly these last few months.

"Whether that’s helping take care of Polly while I work, calling into rehearsals late at night with treats to cheer me up cos you know I’m tired, or cooking endless meals for me and @grazianodiprima and making him welcome in your home and your life."

Flocking to the comments section, Anita said: "Wow happy birthday to your daughter Kym you look like twins xxxx", while Charlotte said: "You two are the absolute image, can't believe it".

Melanie said: "Stunning like her mamma". Emma said: "Image of you. Happy birthday", and Carina said: "She is your double!"
