Kym Marsh has opened up about a past encounter as the Morning Live presenter commemorated Prince Philip in a cheeky admission. The Duke of Edinburgh died last Friday at the age of 99 at
Windsor Castle and like many celebrities, she has shared her memories of the Queen's late husband. The 44-year-old spoke candidly about a cheeky moment that has stuck in the
singer's mind. The former Coronation Street star explained that she had attended an event with her fellow former Hear'Say bandmates where they performed at his 80th birthday and
the 45th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award back in 2001. Speaking on Monday's episode of Morning Live alongside her co-presenter Gethin Jones, Kym recalled the moment
Philip had urged her band member to "steady on" after accidentally poking the Duke. Kym began: "Well Hear'Say played his 80th birthday - can you believe? Really unlikely.

"We were having a photograph with him and [Myleene Klass] had a microphone in her hand and she went to put her arm around him and then remembered that you're not allowed to touch,
are you? "You can't put your arm around a member of the Royal Family. "So she tried to get her microphone away and then kind of poked him with it in a rather unusual place and
he went, 'Oh steady on, girl.'" "And he walked in and said 'Ah, you're the dancer', because I was doing [Strictly Come Dancing] at the time." Gethin
added: "I said 'You've obviously seen my work', and he said, 'You're better at the ballroom than you are the Latin'. "And actually, he was absolutely
right. That's why I only got to the semi-final." Meanwhile, Prince Philip will be buried at St George's Chapel over the weekend. Her Majesty will be isolated at the small
funeral in Windsor on Saturday as Prince Philip is laid to rest. The funeral, which will have 30 guests, is expected to be "Covid compliant", according to reports. Because of
social distancing rules, people attending the funeral are expected to stand two metres apart. _MORNING LIVE AIRS ON WEEKDAYS ON BBC ONE AT 9AM._
