Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh claps back at comments about her family

Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh clapped back at comments about her family.

The Coronation Street actress waltzed through another week as she's proving herself to be a strong competitor. Over the weekend, she and her dance partner, Graziano Di Prima, hit the floor for Halloween week, with Kym donning a witchy costume as they took on the rumba.

Following their performance, the pair sat down with host Claudia Winkleman to discuss their performance and to give a special shout-out to some of the audience members. Claudia announced Kym’s in-laws had joined the show alongside her husband, Scott Ratcliffe, who were watching from the sidelines.

The camera panned to her family but caught them looking rather down in the process. Strictly viewers were left discussing the shot of her in-laws, including one fan who said: "Kym Marsh’s in-laws didn’t look too happy! #StrictlyComeDancing."

Newspapers picked up on the "tense" look which left Kym with no other option than to clap back at the comments on her family. Sharing a photo of the headline to on her Instagram, the actress addressed the speculation once and for all.

She said: "This has to be one of the funniest things I’ve read!! How about they weren’t aware the camera was even on them!! Good job we see the funny side."

As she passes through the competition, Kym admitted her dance partner feels more like family as the weeks go by. Describing him as a "little brother", she told Hello! magazine how well they have clicked since they first met. She said: "Graziano is from a big family himself and is very family-orientated so it was important for us to build a friendship and I wanted to integrate him into the family. He’s fit in really well. Everyone loves him."
