Kym Marsh pulls out of BBC Morning Live at last-minute as co-star issues worrying health update
A MORNING Live star has sparked concern for Kym Marsh as he revealed she’s off sick with ‘stress and possibly shingles’.
As BBC Breakfast came to an end on Thursday, hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty handed over to Morning Live.
But fans of the show were left puzzled as stalwart Gethin Jones appeared on screen with Rav Wilding.
Gethin, 45, revealed former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh had called in sick just hours prior to the show going live.
He said: “You stepped in because Kym Marsh, she’s not here, she’s meant to be but she’s ill isn’t she?”
Rav, 46, then added: “Yeah she is unfortunately.
“So she called in a few hours ago. She’s sick, possibly stress-related, I think she’s a lot going on at the moment and possibly shingles as well – nasty if she’s got that.”
He added: “Kym, I know you’re watching at home, get well soon.”
Gethin then replied: “It’s just so nasty, she’s got so much going on with her dad at the moment, David’s been on Morning Live talking about his prostate cancer and we know that doctors can no longer treat him.”
The hosts then brought Dr Oscar into the conversation to discuss shingles.
Kym, 47, previously spoke about her dad David’s terminal prostate cancer, which was first revealed in 2021.
During a pre-recorded clip on Morning Live, Kym told viewers: “I wouldn’t want to see anyone else go through this. I get more emotional than my dad does, he’s so strong it’s unbelievable.
“We know we’ve got to that point where they can’t do anything else for him, and they said ‘go and make memories with your family’, and that’s very much what we’re doing.”
