Strictly cast and crew members tried to console her, amid mounting pressure in the BBC contest.
An onlooker said: “She was very upset she just couldn’t stop crying and hyperventilating.”
“In the end there was no choice but to stop rehearsals.”
Kym was rehearsing a quickstep to Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz.
Sources said it was feared she would not be able to go on.
But she overcame her difficulties to dance again with pro partner Graziano Di Prima, 28, in the live show that evening.
The dance received mixed reviews from the judges but it saw the ex-Corrie star through to last weekend’s show, where her scores were much improved.
A friend said: “Kym doesn’t mind admitting she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.
“That sort of thing can catch her out.”
