Poor Kym!

Strictly Come Dancing star Kym Marsh has been dealt a blow with her partner Graziano Di Prima ahead of this weekend’s show.

Former Coronation Street star Kym and professional dancer Graziano will perform a Rumba to Frozen by Madonna during this weekend’s Halloween special (October 29).

However, bookies reckon Kym and Graziano could face elimination this weekend.

What dance did Kym perform last weekend?

Last week, Kym bagged 27 points out of 40 from the judges for her Quickstep to Ballroom Blitz by Sweet.

Last Saturday’s show saw the stars and their pro partners pay tribute to 100 years of the BBC.

Some of the routines were danced to iconic TV theme tunes.
