Kym Marsh said it has been a "very scary couple of days" after she withdrew from Strictly Come Dancing last weekend.
The Coronation Street actress tested positive for Covid-19 forcing her to miss the latest show. However, it was confirmed that Kym would return this week to compete.
Last Tuesday, a Strictly spokesperson said: "Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, Kym and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend. Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week."

Following her positive coronavirus test, Kym updated fans on her progress. Speaking on BBC Morning Live on Monday, Kym said: "So, obviously at the start of the week I came down with Covid.
"That wasn't pleasant and certainly wasn't at a good time at all so that was rubbish but thankfully I am testing negative now.
"But then dad went into hospital during the week and obviously I have not been able to see him, I managed to see him yesterday because I have been testing negative.
"I have been able to go and see him but he is ok, he is on the mend but it was very scary for a couple of days, it has been a bit of a full plate on our end."
She added: "It wasn't the best time last week because we were on such a high after Blackpool. We wanted to drive forward and we are going to bring everything we can this week and really go for it, I have missed you, Graz."
