Strictly Come Dancing star Kym Marsh has opened up on how she felt "missing out" on last week's live show after testing positive for Covid-19.
Appearing on Thursday's episode of It Takes Two (December 1), the former Coronation Street star told host Janette Manrara that she had FOMO (fear of missing out) while watching the programme from home.
"[Watching from home] was so weird, I had such FOMO, I swapped sequins for tissues," she said.
"I watched it with two tissues stuck up my nostrils."

The actress also discussed her routine for Musicals Week, which sees her and dancing partner Graziano Di Prima perform a cha cha cha to 'Fame' by Irene Cara.
Speaking about the dance, Kym said: "I am delighted, it is one of my favourite songs. It takes me right back to being a kid, I can't wait to do the whole '80s thing, get on my lycra. In training, I'm wearing my headband and leg warmers."
Her dancing partner was equally excited for the routine, adding: "She's going for it; she loves the '80s and the songs."
Kym and Graziano were forced to pull out of last week's live show after contracting the virus.

"Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, Kym and Graziano [Di Prima] will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend," the broadcaster said in a statement.
"Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week."
The actress previously revealed that she was nearly forced to pull out of the show, following a panic attack during rehearsals earlier in the competition.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One. Spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows also stream on BBC iPlayer.
