Strictly Come Dancing contestant Kym Marsh was struck down by a bug just hours after wowing judges and fans of the show with a steamy Argentine Tango. The actress-turned-television presenter and pro partner Graziano Di Prima received 37 points from the judges, leaving them joint second on the leaderboard.
But the former Coronation Street actress called into her show, BBC Morning Live, on Monday, November 7 and revealed that on Sunday she picked up a bug that had left her feeling so ill she had to call on the programme's doctor for advice.
She told fellow presenter Gethin Jones: "I am feeling alright. I must have caught a bug off one of the children. I got it on Sunday on the train home, so that was nice. I will pull myself through. You have to get out there and do it (dancing) no matter what, even if you have bits dropping off. I am hoping it is a 24 hour thing."
