Strictly axe Nicola Adams and Katya Jones after positive Covid test

Nicola Adams and Katya Jones have been forced to pull out of this year's Strictly Come Dancing after the Russian professional tested positive for Covid-19.

The couple - who made history as the first same-sex pairing in the show - won't be permitted to join again and must now stay isolated until later this month.

It's believed Katya tested positive without symptoms, while Nicola has tested negative.

Katya will have to self-isolate for 10 days, while Nicola must stay in quarantine for 14 days as she has been in direct contact with Katya.

The couple will not be replaced as the series has already kicked off.

Katya has told BBC bosses she doesn't know how she picked up the infection.
