Presenter Jennifer Zamparelli has said she is "devastated" to be missing this Sunday's Dancing with the Stars after testing positive for Covid-19.
Former DWTS champion Lottie Ryan will stand in for Zamparelli in Sunday's show, co-hosting alongside Nicky Byrne.
On Saturday, Zamparelli posted on her Instagram stories: "This week I won't be hosting Dancing with Nicky because I have tested positive for Covid.
"To say I'm devastated to be missing a show would be an understatement but it had to be done. My pal @lottieryan1 will be taking over and she will be amazing."
The presenter added that she wished Ryan and the crew "a fab show", saying "enjoy every second".
All being well, Zamparelli will return to her 2FM radio show late next week, broadcasting from home.
Sunday night's third instalment of the dancing competition will see all twelve couples taking to the dancefloor for the first time and will feature the first elimination of the series.
All twelve couples will take to the dance floor this Sunday but one will leave the competition for good.
