The final is just a few weeks away and with eight couple having already been eliminated from the competition, the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom is starting to look quite bare. And on Saturday night it was even more sparse than it should have been as Kym Marsh has been forced to miss this weekend's performance.
The former Coronation Street star and her dance partner made it to week 20 in the BBC One dance contest following last weekend's spectacular trip to Blackpool. Strictly returned back to the north for the first time in three years and pulled out all the stops as the couples and the show's professional dancers performed in the iconic Tower Ballroom.
And viewers watched as Kym, 46, and her dance partner Graziano Di Prima moved fiercely across the dancefloor accompanied by supporting dancers to land a score of 33. The pair brought drama to the dance floor as they performed a powerful paso doble to We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris.
