'He's like a little brother!' Strictly's Kym Marsh reveals she wants Graziano Di Prima 'in her family' as pro partner 'fits in really well'
Kym Marsh has revealed she wants to incorporate her Strictly Come Dancing partner Graziano Di Prima 'into her family', describing him as a 'little brother'.
The actress, 46, was 'back on form' during Saturday's live show after her sultry Halloween-inspired rumba to Frozen by Madonna put her second on the scoreboard.
She escaped another dreaded dance-off during the results show and is sailing through to week seven of the BBC's flagship show with her professional partner.

She told Hello! magazine: 'He's very quickly become like a little brother to me.
'Graziano is from a big family himself and is very family-orientated so it was important for us to build a friendship and I wanted to integrate him into the family.
'He's fit in really well. Everyone loves him.'
The former Hear'Say singer said performing on Strictly has scored points with her youngest daughter, 11-year-old Polly.

'Usually I'm quite embarrassing to her. She's like 'Oh my God, I can't believe everyone knows who my mum is. So embarrassing,' she said.
'But now I've become more interesting. I've been getting more messages from Polly now, going 'Good luck, Mum. I hope you're doing well.'
'I think it's because all her friends are talking to her about (Strictly) at school.'
Kym, who is married to husband Scott Ratcliff, is also mother to children David, 27, and Emilie aged 24.
Sicilian-born Graziano, 28, added: 'I feel like part of the family. Every week, there is a day where Kym invites me home with her and the family prepare Italian food and make me feel so welcome.
'At the end of the day, when we've finished the rehearsals, I'll be in my hotel on my own. But Kym knows that, so she invites me back.'
