Kym Marsh has revealed she was left 'in pain' by Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Graziano Di Prima during this weekend's results show, in a moment that went un-noticed by millions of viewers at home.
Former Hear'Say star Kym was hoping to bounce back from the dance-off disappointment of seven days earlier as she and Graziano took to the floor on Saturday night for Strictly 's BBC 100th Birthday special. The couple were given the prime position of being the last couple to take to the floor in the latest live show.
As they honoured iconic BBC show Come Dancing with a routine to Sweet classic Ballroom Blitz, they had legendary broadcaster Angela Rippon introduce their dance, with Kym looking every inch the belle of the ballroom in a stunning pink gown. However, while the kitchen sink was thrown at the performance, the judges comments and scores didn't live up to the hype. Kym and Graziano were awarded just 27 out of 40 for the routine, lower than the score which had them in the dance-off the previous week.

As host Tess Daly revealed each couples' fate in the Strictly results show, Kym looked nervous, so looked both shocked and delighted when her and Graziano were called as safe. And Graziano reacted even more wildly as he quickly lifted Kym up in celebration. However, while it just pure joy and relief that fans watching at home saw, hosting Monday's Morning Live, Kym shared that the reality was somewhat different.
After a clip of the moment played out on screen and co-presenter Gethin Jones remarked: "That was great reaction," Kym told him: "My eyes came out of my head and rolled across the dancefloor for a minute," adding: "What you don't see there, when he picks me up, is that I've got a really bad back at the moment, so when he picked me up and I was already emotional, as he put me down they were actually tears of pain. I though 'argh my head's going to pop off!'"
Gethin, himself a former Strictly contestant, responded: "We're laughing, as that's what Strictly does to you when you're in pain."
