Strictly's Judi Love pulls out of show after testing positive for Covid

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Judi Love will not feature in this weekend’s episode of the show.

The Loose Women star has been forced to pause her training and involvement in the show after testing positive for coronavirus, The Mirror reports.

A Strictly spokesperson said: "Judi Love has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating following the latest government guidelines.

"While Judi and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week.”

The TV presenter and comedian, who is partnered with Graziano Di Prima, has already been in the dance off two weeks in a row.

Judi Love was previously the bookies' favourite to be booted off Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.

Bookmakers reportedly had Judi at 10/11 odds-on favourite to find herself in the bottom two again this week – and the most likely to be axed by judges on Sunday night.

Jessica O'Reilly of Ladbrokes said: "It looks like it may be a case of third time unlucky for Judi and Graziano in the dance off and they will waltz out of Strictly this weekend."
