'I've broken my nose!' Strictly's Kym Marsh's torment after dancer caused painful injury
Kym Marsh, 46, was left hysterical after a collision with a dancer at a historic performance of Saturday Night Fever left her believing her nose was broken.The star was knocked to the ground due to the impact and began shaking in shock as she waited for an ambulance to arrive.Anxiety-ridden Kym yelled: "I've broken my nose!" as she clutched her face in panic backstage at London's Apollo Theatre.The then 28-year-old had been playing the lead role in Saturday Night Fever back in 2004, only for her understudy to step in as Annette at the last minute, as she was rushed to hospital.At the time, a spokesperson for Kym stated that her nose had not been broken, but in her subsequent autobiography, From The Heart, Kym insisted that it "definitely" had been - and that an X-ray had proved it.It was a cruel setback for the star, who'd hoped the musical role would help steer her comeback after she was dropped by her record label MCA, leaving her solo music career grinding to a halt.She had vowed to give Saturday Night Fever "my best shot", defiantly telling the Evening Standard that she was not one to "lie down and accept defeat".However, almost no sooner than she had landed the role, disaster struck."The worst thing was my microphone was still on, so the whole auditorium could hear me saying, 'I've broken my nose, I've broken my nose!'" Kim shuddered as she took up the story in From The Heart."Once I got [to hospital], an X-ray showed my nose was definitely broken.
