Little Mix have all been tested for coronavirus after an outbreak forced the first live show of The Search to be postponed.
On Wednesday afternoon it was revealed that several crew members working on the girls' BBC series had contracted COVID-19, leading to this Saturday's first live show being postponed.
In a statement, the production team said: "We can confirm that a small number of people on the Little Mix The Search production have tested positive for coronavirus and they are now self-isolating following the latest Government guidelines.
"Due to the format of the show, we have made the decision to postpone Saturday's programme.
"There are rigorous protocols in place to manage Covid-19 as the safety of all those involved in the production is paramount. We hope to be back on air on Saturday 24th October."
As a result of the crew testing positive Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson have all been tested and a rep for the former X Factor winners told The Sun they all tested negative.
The source revealed: "They've all tested negative and do not need to isolate.
"They will be regularly tested throughout the run of the series."
The Search live shows will be hosted by South Shields comedian and Strictly star Chris Ramsey. Posting a statement about the first live show on his Instagram, Chris revealed he was also tested for coronavirus and wrote: "Absolutely gutted.
"I had a test and I was negative... but let’s be honest, I think if it was me they would just find another presenter and do the show anyway.
"See you all next week."
