BBC Strictly's Kym Marsh issues message as she reunites with Graziano Di Prima after catching Covid

BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh shared a message with fans as she reunited with her professional dance partner on Tuesday (November 29).

Kym shared a photo of herself and Graziano Di Prima both wearing brightly-coloured gym headbands and beaming as they reconvened. The pair were forced to miss last week's show after Kym tested positive for coronavirus.

Taking to Instagram, Kym captioned the photo: "FINALLY back with this one! We are so grateful to be able to dance this week, and to the most iconic musical “FAME” thank you for all of your support and get well wishes, truly means the world" with a red heart emoji.

Friends and fans were excited to see the pair come back and to see that Kym was on the mend. Professional dancer Jowita Przystał commented a series of red heart emojis while @mr_sjpatterson said: "Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing you two back on the dancefloor! x".

@oliviacoon enthused: "Come back and smash it on Saturday!x" and @weheartkym said: "missed you both, glad your back strong than ever. So proud of you both."

It was announced last week that the former Coronation Street star would miss the upcoming weekend's show. Strictly confirmed that the reason for Kym's absence was due to testing positive for Coronavirus.

A Strictly spokesperson said on Tuesday (November 22): "Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, Kym and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend." The spokesperson added: "Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week."
