OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh is the second celebrity confirmed for this year’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. The former ‘Coronation Street’ star is a “huge fan” of the Latin and ballroom show, and she can’t wait to get started on the dancefloor. She said: “I’ve considered doing Strictly for years but the timings never worked out. “I’m so delighted that this year they have! I’m a huge fan of the show and can’t believe I’m going to go from watching at home in my pyjamas to actually dancing in front of the judges in a glittery dress, it’s unreal!” It was revealed this week that Kym – who is best known for playing Michelle Connor in the ITV soap – had to consider a place on the show “carefully” because she is filming for returning school drama ‘Waterloo Road’ at the end of the year. A BBC source told The Sun newspaper: “We have been keen to sign Kym for a while and approached her many times in the past but it has never worked out. “When we approached her this year she was interested, which was very exciting for us. “As well as her presenting work, she is filming for ‘Waterloo Road’ at the end of the year, so she had to consider it carefully.” This comes after former ‘Hollyoaks’ star Will Mellor was the first star confirmed for this year’s ‘Strictly’ earlier on Thursday (04.08.22). He said: “I’m honestly so chuffed to be taking part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ this year! “Not going to lie, it’s totally out of my comfort zone and I know it will be a huge challenge but that’s what life is all about. “This is also my Mum’s favourite show and she’s had a really tough few years so I’m doing this is for her as well. Bring it on!”
