Kym Marsh has received the backing of Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Graziano Di Prima, who has branded her 'my warrior,' ahead of this week's live show and in the aftermath of being in the dance-off at the weekend.
Former Hear'Say star and Coronation Street actress Kym was instantly one of the most talked about contestants on this year's Strictly line-up, as soon as she was confirmed to be taking part back in August. Many fans had her as a big one to watch and a potential winner and her scores have definitely improved in recent weeks, after the judges have heaped praise on her.
Kym and Graziano were in 5th place out of 13 on the Strictly leaderboard after week 4, so it came as huge shock to everyone on the show that they ended up in the bottom two, once the public had their say. For the first time this series, all four judges were unanimous in their decision, all opted to save Kym and Graziano over Matt and Nadiya.
