Missy Keating 'absolutely devastated' to miss Dancing With The Stars show after Covid-19 diagnosis

Missy Keating will be unable to participate in this week's Dancing With The Stars show as she has tested positive for Covid-19.

In a statement, Dancing With The Stars confirmed that Missy is "feeling well and hopes to return to the show next weekend" in full health.

Missy and her dance partner, Ervinas Merfeldas, will train virtually until Missy has concluded her quarantine period.

Missy said: "Absolutely devastated to announce that due to Covid, I won't be performing on Dancing with the Stars this Sunday. Dedicated Dance Night was something I really wanted to be part of."

She had planned her dance for this week to honour her late grandmother Marie Keating who sadly passed away from cancer before she was born.

"Those who know her cancer story, know she was taken from our family at an extremely young age, and this was my moment to be with her and dance for her. So, I'm heartbroken with the circumstances.

"Please God I will be back on that dancefloor next week. I turn 21 next Friday so Ervinas and I have a super fun performance planned to celebrate it. Will keep you updated."
