Kym Marsh has called in sick to Strictly rehearsals today, days after suffering a crippling panic attack.
The former Coronation Street star, 46, wowed judges on Saturday night as she danced a fiery Argentine Tango with her partner Graziano DiPrima.
But behind-the-scenes, Kym is struggling to control her anxiety and is taking a break from the dance studios in a bid to help ease her panic attacks.
The singer spoke about how she was feeling during an appearance on Morning Live this morning, weeks after she broke down in dress rehearsals.
"I will pull myself through, it is only one of those 24 hour things and I think you have got to get out there and do it, no matter what," she said.
"Even if you have bits dropping off you have to get out there!"
A source told Mirror Online, Kym had fallen ill over the weekend but is hoping to get back to rehearsals later on.
It was a huge weekend for Kym with the television personality achieving her highest score in the series so far.
The Coronation Street actress and her professional dance partner performed an Argentine Tango to John Powell's Assassin's Tango.
Their performance was a huge hit with the judges, who all heaped praise on the duo and their moves.
As the performance came to an end, Kym and Graziano looked emotional yet thrilled as they learned they'd finally impressed judge Craig Revel Horwood, as well as the others on the panel.
But it was when they got their scores that the pair really celebrated, with pro dancer Graziano screaming loudly and jumping around.
As Craig offered a 9, joined by Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas, Kym was heard cheering loudly while her dance partner did the same.
Anton Du Beke then said: "It's a great night," before marking them 10 points - their first 10 of the whole series.
With this, Graziano looked completely shocked and let out a huge scream as he jumped around the studio with his hands on his face.
Kym has been open about how she suffers from anxiety.
After she performed the Quickstep a few weeks, the star spoke about how she had struggled to overcome her fears during dress rehearsals.
She told Claudia: ""I felt pretty confident going in...I've had a bit of a dodgy day when it comes to confidence, but the team and everyone here has just picked me up. I can't thank you all enough for that."
