Judi Love and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima have been forced to pull out of this week's Strictly Come Dancing after she tested positive for Covid.
The Loose Women panellist will not perform on Saturday’s live show, and producers of the BBC show hope that she will be able to return for next week’s Halloween spectacular.
A Strictly spokesperson said: "Judi Love has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating following the latest government guidelines.
"While Judi and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week."
The pair had been due to perform a Cha Cha to Olivia Newton John hit Physical on Saturday’s show.
Love is the second celebrity contestant to test positive for Covid this year, after Tom Fletcher also contracted the virus, along with his dance partner Amy Dowden.
