John Whaite is being forced to skip shows on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour after a lateral flow test came back positive on Sunday morning.
The Great British Bake Off star and Strictly series runner-up took to Instagram to update fans expecting to see him for Sunday’s shows in Glasgow.
Lying in bed with a baseball cap on, the 32-year-old began: ‘Hi everyone, little bit of bad news I’m afraid. A lateral flow this morning has come back positive so I now have to sit here in this glamorous captivity until a result of a PCR come back – and I’m hoping they come back negative because I feel fine.
‘I’m triple jabbed, I had coronavirus in summer, so I’m hoping it’s just a false positive. But that does mean of course that I won’t be able to perform today or tonight in Glasgow, so I am very, very, very, very, very sorry if anyone was hoping to see me shaking my thing on the dance floor because I just won’t be there shaking it.
‘I’ll be in my hotel room – probably still shaking it – but that isn’t something I wish the world could see because it isn’t pretty, darling.
‘When you’re not in sparkles and sequins, it ain’t pretty – they’re the real me, vile [sic]!
‘Anyway, I’m sorry I can’t be there. I hope you enjoy the show nonetheless, and good luck to all my friend who are in the show today. I’m sorry I’m letting you all down.’
The tour has another show in Glasgow on Monday evening, before heading to Nottingham for three shows and finishing at the O2 Arena in London with a five-show, three-date engagement.
It’s not yet known whether the baker and TV personality, who has reportedly been signed for a ‘dream role’ in an upcoming Andrew Lloyd Webber West End musical, will be missing any of those shows yet.
John is the latest in a run of stars who have been forced to miss performances of the live tour for various reasons.
Pro Amy Dowden was forced to miss some dates after a flare up of her Crohn’s disease ahead of the Manchester shows.
The dancer previously won a Bafta for her documentary, Strictly Amy: Crohn’s & Me, and frequently discuses life with Crohn’s on her Insta.
Nikita Kuzmin was also finally allowed to re-join the tour in Leeds after testing positive for Covid-19, although he put his time in isolation to good use by raising money for Diabetes UK from his hotel room.
