Kym Marsh reveals backstage panic attacks on Strictly Come Dancing

Kym Marsh's struggles with anxiety

Kym Marsh, known for her roles in TV and theatre, recently opened up about suffering from panic attacks backstage while competing on Strictly Come Dancing. The pressure of dancing with Graziano Di Prima led to severe anxiety, causing Kym to halt rehearsals and seek support from producers.

The emotional journey on the dance floor

Despite the challenges, Kym gathered herself and delivered stunning performances with Graziano on the show. The pair's bond extended beyond the dance floor, with Kym considering Graziano as a family member and expressing gratitude for his support during her time on the show.

Graziano's removal and apology

Graziano's time on Strictly came to an abrupt end due to 'gross misconduct', with allegations of inappropriate behavior towards his partner Zara McDermott. After video evidence surfaced, the BBC took swift action, removing Graziano from the show. He has since apologized for his actions, citing his passion for winning as a factor that may have impacted his behavior.

Reshuffling in the Strictly lineup

Graziano's departure coincided with Giovanni Pernice also exiting the show amidst official complaints against him. As the investigation continues, Aljaz Ċ korjanec has been announced to make a return to the dancefloor for the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One.
