Kym Marsh fears she'll vomit during a Strictly live show
‘There has been a lot of difficult spells and tears’: Kym Marsh fears she’ll VOMIT during Strictly live shows as a result of ‘horrendous’ dizziness… after revealing she suffers from vertigo
Kym Marsh has expressed fears she’ll vomit during a Strictly Come Dancing live show as a result of ‘horrendous’ dizziness.
The former Coronation Street star, 46, recently revealed she had been diagnosed with vertigo and admitted it may in fact ruin her chances of winning.
She and her partner Graziano Di Prima took on the Viennese Waltz during Saturday’s show, with the judges impressed by how well the actress got the dance down.
Struggles: Kym Marsh has expressed fears she’ll vomit during a Strictly Come Dancing live show as a result of ‘horrendous’ dizziness
Kym and Graziano scored 27 out of 40 for the performance, but even with a strong score, Kym was left feeling nauseous.
A source told The Sun: ‘Kym has struggled with nausea and dizziness all week, and at times she has felt really horrendous, though she has tried to play it down.
‘Her partner Graziano has tried to make it easier for her, but there has been a lot of difficult spells and tears, and she has nearly vomited several times.
‘She was worried that she might be sick, or even pass out, when they danced the whole routine. But she is a trooper, and she was determined to get through.’

Judge Shirley Bassey explained that Kym was ‘well on her way’ – after the star expressed her fears over the spinning nature of the dance earlier this week, due to her vertigo.
Speaking to Rylan Clark on Friday’s Strictly: It Takes Two the television personality admitted that her Viennese Waltz exasperates her condition.
She explained: ‘Well, you see I have got visual vertigo. I had an ear problem about six years ago and it left me with visual vertigo, so basically even moving lights make me feel weird.
‘I can’t do it, so spinning and spinning, there is a particular part in this routine where I am spinning so fast and then he [Graziano] wants me to get up and do a turn on my own’.
She continued: ‘Well, I can’t do them at the best of times so I am literally like, ‘Oh my, what am I going to do here?’.
Sweet: Following the performonce, Graziano gave Kym a proud kiss on the head
Vertigo – defined as a false sensation that the body or environment is moving – is a symptom, rather than a health condition itself.
It is commonly caused by a problem with the way balance works in the inner ear, although it can also be caused by problems in certain parts of the brain.
Some cases improve over time, without treatment. However, some people have repeated episodes for many months, or even years, such as those with Ménière’s disease.
