Strictly Come Dancing's Kym Marsh reveals she almost quit series after suffering panic attack in rehearsals
"I've always suffered from panic attacks. It's something I don't mind talking about because I know it can affect anyone at any time. Sometimes it has been ages [since an attack] and then suddenly one just hits.
"Everyone thinks that because you're on the telly you must be amazingly confident, but the truth is that I'm not always and this is how that comes out," Marsh explained.the week before, I've been working other jobs at the same time too, so it's tiring, and I just lost my confidence completely. I went to pieces and said 'I don't think I can do this'.
"At that moment I wasn't sure I could even carry on with the show. It's hard to explain, you don't see it coming. I've had therapy for anxiety and tried things like that but it can still just creep up, usually just when you could most do without it."
