Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse will not take part in this weekend's live show, after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19.
Motsi said that while she is double vaccinated and would normally be exempt from isolation, the vaccine and booster jab she was given is "not recognised" in the UK.
The BBC has said she will be replaced by Cynthia Erivo - who will be on the show for a second week running.

Posting on Instagram, 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 contract with someone on Sunday 21st November who has since tested positive.
“Being double vaccinated and booster as I am, would normally mean exemption from isolation under the ‘close contact’ rules, but unfortunately German EU vaccines are not recognised and neither is my booster in this instance – so I must follow UK government guidance and can only return after 30 November to the UK.”
She added: "Our health is the most important thing and luckily I have been tested multiple times this week and am negative.
“I am healthy, I am with my family, that’s what matters. I wish everyone good luck, sending you my love, keep dancing… until then, lots of love and stay safe.”
Last week saw Craig Revel Horwood forced to miss Strictly after testing positive for Covid-19.
