Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh takes to social media after withdrawing from tonight's show

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has taken to social media for the first time after it was announced that she she won't be seen in tonight's Strictly Come Dancing. The actress, who is partnered with Graziano Di Prima on the show, will miss this evening's show of the BBC One competition due to a positive Covid test, it was confirmed earlier this week.

Taking to social media for the first time since it was announced she wouldn't be performing, she paid tribute to her daughter Emilie on her 25th birthday, reports The Mirror. Posting a gorgeous photo of her daughter, in which she bore a strong resemblance to Kym, she praised Emilie for being a wonderful mum, a fantastic sister and amazing friend.

She gushed: "25 years!!!!! 25 years since you made our worlds a brighter place to be! You are and always have been our sunshine! You always loved every second of life! Like a little whirlwind of fun sweeping through every room you walked into. You still are. You draw people to you, you make people smile, you make people angry too hahah but you are one of the funniest and kindest people I know!
