Kym Marsh fears she will throw up during a Strictly Come Dancing live show due to “terrible” dizziness… after revealing she suffers from vertigo
Kym Marsh has expressed fears she will throw up during a Strictly Come Dancing live show due to “terrible” dizziness.
The former Coronation Street star, 46, recently revealed she’s been diagnosed with dizziness and admitted it could actually ruin her chances of winning.
She and partner Graziano Di Prima competed against the Viennese waltz during Saturday’s show, with the judges impressed by how well the actress nailed the dance.
Fighting: Kym Marsh has expressed fears she will throw up during a live Strictly Come Dancing show due to “terrible” dizziness
Kym and Graziano scored 27 out of 40 for performance, but even with a strong score, Kym felt nauseous.
A source told The Sun: “Kym has been struggling with nausea and dizziness all week and at times she has felt really awful despite trying to downplay it.
“Her partner Graziano tried to make it easier for her but there were a lot of difficult spells and tears and she almost vomited on several occasions.
“She was worried she might get sick or even pass out as they danced through the whole routine. But she is a soldier and she was determined to get through.”

Judge Shirley Bassey declared that Kym was “on the right track” – after the star earlier this week expressed concerns about the spinning nature of the dance due to her vertigo.
Speaking to Rylan Clark on Friday’s Strictly: It Takes Two, the television personality admitted that her Viennese waltz makes her condition worse.
She explained: “Well you see I have visual vertigo. I had a problem with my ears about 6 years ago and it caused me visual dizziness so basically even moving lights make me feel weird.
“I can’t do it, so spin and spin, there’s a certain part in this routine where I spin so fast and then he [Graziano] want me to get up and take a corner by myself.
She continued, “Well, I can’t do them at the best of times, so I’m literally like, ‘Oh my god, what am I going to do here?’
Sweet: After the performance, Graziano once gave Kym a proud kiss on the head
Dizziness — defined as a false sensation that the body or the environment is moving — is more of a symptom than a health condition in itself.
It is often caused by a problem with how 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 over many months or even years, such as B. in people with Ménière’s disease.
