Strictly Come Dancing viewers will be delighted to know that Kym Marsh will be back on screens this week after missing the previous live shows due to illness. The former Hear'Say singer-turned-actor tested positive for Covid-19 and was therefore unable to compete.
And following her return to training Kym sent a message to fans "who choose kindness over hate" and thanked them for all their support. Sharing a post on Instagram the BBC Morning Live presenter said: "Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your kind words and support!
"You have shown me that there are so many wonderful people out there who choose kindness over hate." Kym tagged her Strictly professional partner Graziano Di Prima in the post. It comes after the 46-year-old hit out at "hateful" comments she had received just days before.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, November 30, Kym said: "Why some people feel the need to say hateful and hurtful things to others on here is beyond me! Usually talking nonsense about people they know nothing about. Whatever happened to #bekind???"
After being flooded with support Kym later added: "Well you lovely lot have all made my day!! Makes me realise how many wonderful kind people there really are in comparison to those who choose to spit venom. Thank you gorgeous people! Keep being you!!!"
It comes after some viewers claimed Kym was given a "free pass" to the quarter-finals, which air on Friday, December 2, this week due to the World Cup. Speaking on Strictly's spin-off It Takes Two on Thursday, December 1, the couple revealed they will have just one day of training before the live shows.
Despite this Kym said she's not feeling the pressure. She told host Janette Manrara: "I've loved every second and actually where we should be feeling real pressure right now we're really not because we're just going to go out there, we're going to have the best time ever, have fun. If it's the last time we dance it's the last time we dance." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
