Strictly Come Dancing. Amanda took to Twitter to express her surprise as she anticipated that she will be “having words” with Kim, who appeared last night in the series’ launch show.She tweeted: “I’ve been directing Kim Marsh since April and she didn’t mention a word about @bbcstrictly.“My guilty pleasure and she said nothing.“I’ll be having words with HER!” Amanda jokingly added.Amanda had been directing a number episodes of Waterloo Road this year, with Kym portraying Nicky Walters in the show.Kym recently opened up about her decision to join the Strictly lineup this year and what inspired her to take on the challenge.Ahead of the launch, Kym vowed to “grab things with both hands" following advice from her beloved father.The actress admitted she had been asked to appear on the show before but "never thought it was the right time".However, her perspective changed once her dad was diagnosed with cancer.Kym's father David, 77, was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer after a delay in getting a check-up during the pandemic.She revealed: "My dad got diagnosed with untreatable cancer last March and I've just decided to give everything while I can.""Without being melancholy, we don't know how long we've got him for, so you've got to make the most of the situation.""[His] diagnosis does change things.”Kym went on to explain the words of advice her dad gave her, which helped her “look at thing differently”.She added to The Sun: “My dad told me, 'You never know what's round the corner so grab things with both hands.'“But you don't think about that until an event happens.
