Kym Marsh’s return to Strictly Come Dancing proved to be a short lived one, as, just a week after she was forced to miss the show due to Covid, she and pro partner Graziano Di Prima have been eliminated from the competition.
Former Hear’say star Kym was dealt a big blow last week when, just as she and Graziano were gearing up to do their Couple’s Choice routine, she was forced out of training and last week’s live show due to contracting Covid.
It was immediately confirmed by Strictly bosses that Kym and Graziano would be given a ‘free pass’ to the quarter finals, something that didn’t go down too well with some viewers. While Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden were given the same opportunity after both tested positive for Covid last series, Nicola Adams and Katya Jones were forced to withdraw from Strictly a year earlier when pro Katya contracted the virus.
