Strictly fans in disbelief after Tess Daly congratulates Kym Marsh on new grandson

Kym Marsh made her Strictly Come Dancing debut as the BBC series returned on Friday, and quickly became the talk of social media after a surprising conversation with host Tess Daly.

The Morning Live presenter and former Coronation Street and Hear’Say star was paired with pro dancer Graziano Di Prima, before taking to the dancefloor for the first time on Saturday night to perform the jive to Yes by Merry Clayton from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. But it was Kym’s family life that got viewers talking, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Viewers were left shocked when Tess said to 46-year-old Kym: "Unbelievably, you have just become a grandma for the third time. Congratulations!"
