Strictly's Kym and Graziano's teary It Takes Two…

Strictly's Kym and Graziano's teary It Takes Two interview runs into end credits

Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima featured on BBC's It Takes Two following their exit from the competition on the weekend. The pair sat down to speak to presenter Rylan Clark after being sent home.

The former Coronation Street actor was voted off after facing Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu in the dreaded dance-off. It comes after the Hear'Say singer missed a week due to testing positive for Covid-19.

Speaking on It Takes Two, Kym said: "I absolutely had a blast. We made a decision and mentally in my head, I was like I've got this far in the competition, now anything is a bonus and I'm just going to go out and enjoy myself, and I was living my best life."

On Graziano’s trust in Kym, Graziano said: "Our friendship is the answer, and in every prop that we had in our journey on Strictly, whether there was a moment where we had percussions or where we had accents, I knew that was the moment where she could literally deliver it herself.

"I've loved every song that we have done but this one there's something special because yes, she was thinking about the legs, the accent, but she was literally living, living it from the beginning to the end."

Getting teary, the pair then discussed their friendship, with Kym telling Rylan that Graziano had become like family. She said: "I really have genuinely met a very unique person."

Turning to her professional dance partner she added: "You're a very, very special man and I will never ever forget what you've done for me on this journey. It's been incredible."

As the programme came to an end, Graziano asked Rylan: "Can I just say one thing?"

Taking a deep exhale he said: "I've been waiting for a really good season on Strictly for four years. It sounds really crazy but I had the best time and it's because of her."

With Rylan unable to cut Graziano off, the star continued as the end credits began to roll. He added: "So if I think back, it's been the most amazing journey ever because I found a friend for life. I had the best season ever. I went far in the competition, it's just because of her."

"I couldn't cut Graz off!" Rylan told the cameras as the end credits finished. The official BBC Strictly Twitter also addressed the interview, telling followers: "Kym and Graziano have had the best time on Strictly, and they don't want it to end - even as they run into the end credits!"
