Kym Marsh is in the 'worst shape' she's been in for the past five years
The former 'Coronation Street' star will find out her 'Strictly Come Dancing' pro partner in tonight's (23.09.22) launch episode of the 20th series of the BBC show, but admits she hasn't been to the gym as much as she would've liked in the last few years due to a number of injuries.
Kym - who is married to Army Major Scott Ratcliff - said: "I was plagued with quite a lot of injuries last year, I'm someone who generally likes to go to the gym and this is probably the worst shape I've been in, in the last five years.
"So my exercise regime has not been as good as it would normally be but I ran the Manchester 10k in May, so that was the beginning of my journey and then since I agreed to do this, I’ve been trying to get back in the gym.
"My husband's great, he's really helpful and helps me train quite a lot!"
The star is looking forward to all the spray tans that come with being a 'Strictly' contestant, but she isn't sure how 'Waterloo Road' bosses will feel when she rocks up for filming looking more bronzed than usual.
When asked how she feels about being 'Strictly-fied', she replied: "Oh, I can't wait. I'm very excited.
"I've been told about spray tans, I’m not sure what 'Waterloo Road' will think of me being sprayed every single week but they’ll just have to cope with it.
"I'm really looking forward to it and I think that's one of the things about Strictly, apart from obviously the dancing and how wonderful that is, the glamour and the glitz of it all is always going to be something that people love and I'll definitely enjoy that side of it."
