Another Strictly Come Dancing judge is set to miss the live show this weekend because of coronavirus.
Motsi Mabuse is self-isolating in her home country of Germany and will be replaced by Oscar nominee and Broadway star Cynthia Ervio.
It is her second week on the judging panel after she stood in for Craig Revel Horwood last week. Read about her strong performance last week.
A Strictly spokeswoman said on Friday: "We can confirm Motsi Mabuse will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend. We are delighted that Cynthia Erivo will be joining us as a guest judge again, joining Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge, Shirley Ballas on the judging panel.
"We look forward to having Motsi back with us next weekend."
Taking to Twitter to break the news, Motsi wrote: "I am gutted to say I will have to miss this weekend on Strictly… yesterday, I was contacted by NHS Test and Trace as being in close contact with someone on Sunday 21st Nov who has since tested positive.
"Being double vaccinated & booster [sic] as I am, would normally mean exemption from isolation under the ‘close contact’ rules, but unfortunately German EU vaccines are not recognized and neither is my booster in this instance – so I must follow UK Government Guidance and can only return after 30 November 2021 to UK."
