Janette, who is set to take over Zoe Ball on Strictly Come Danicng spin-oof It Takes Two, has been hosting the show since July 5.

A BBC spokesperson told the Express : "Kym has taken some time off to spend time with her family."

Kym was forced to take time off the show in July after her son David tested positive for Covid as he still lives at home with his girlfriend.

Kym, 45, therefore followed guidance and isolated herself.

However, her co-host then revealed that she was also suffering with the virus.

The presenter and actress also revealed that her dad has been told he has incurable prostate cancer.

Dave, 76, delayed going to the doctors due the coronavirus pandemic and Kym then revealed the devastating news that the disease has spread to her dad's pelvis, spine, ribs and left leg.

The news came days after Kym revealed she was engaged to partner Scott Ratcliff as he popped the question on her 45th birthday.
