Kym, 46, has been forced to step back from taking part in this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing after catching Covid-19.
The TV star and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima both tested positive for the virus and have been forced to back out.
Yesterday, Strictly confirmed that the couple would have to return the following week once they were clear of the illness.

World's away from the dance floor, Kym can be seen smiling wide for the camera in the photo, taken when she was nine years old.
Donning a red dress with a white lace collar, the star had her hair up in two pig tails, as she sported a fringe swept to one side.
She was joined by her best pal Lyndsay for the snap, who could be seen smiling next to her as they stood side-by-side.
"37 years on," Kym wrote in the caption, as her friends and fans flooded the comments section to gush over the "cute" snap.

Last week, Kym brought drama to the dance floor as she performed a powerful paso doble to We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom.
It came just weeks after she was forced to miss rehearsals after falling ill.
