Strictly’s Kym Marsh hits back at claims she has dance experience from Hear’Say

KYM Marsh has hit back at claims she’s got dance experience ahead of her Strictly Come Dancing debut.

The singer and actress, 46, first found fame with pop band Hear’Say in 2001 but has insisted that will not give her an unfair advantage.

She said: “We’re talking 20 years ago faffing about on stage in Hear’Say.

“It’s a whole different thing, and even if that did count as experience in dance, this is ballroom.

Kym added: “I’ve got all the posture and grace of a Quaver.”

After being confirmed as one of the stars taking part this year, Kym confessed the show has been on her bucket list for years.

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!”

Last month Kym became a grandma for the second time when her son David and his fiancee Courtney Carter welcomed a baby boy, Clayton, into the world.

The newborn weighed in at a “whopping” 10lbs 7oz.

Kym wrote on Instagram: “Introducing…..Clayton Lenny David Cunliffe!!!

“Our beautiful new grandson was welcomed into the world on 17.08.22 weighing a whopping 10lb 7oz!!

“I am so very proud of our future daughter in law @courtneyleac for being such a warrior and of our son @cunliffe890 for being the most wonderful supportive partner.”
