Strictly Come Dancing 2021 – Covid BOMBSHELL as star & partner infected & will miss show, plus Dan Walker ‘collapses’

STRICTLY has been hit by another Covid bombshell as a top star of the show and his partner have been infected.

McFly legend Tom Fletcher and his dance partner Amy Dowden have tested positive for Covid-19 and will now miss the live show next Saturday.

It comes after Strictly was engulfed in a huge anti-vaccine row behind the scenes, with three pro dancers refusing to get the jab, sparking fears of a major outbreak.

Amy Dowden is not one of the pros who refused to get a jab.

The outbreak comes as Dan Walker “collapsed” after his exhausting fast-paced quickstep, taking a lie-down on the famous BBC Breakfast red sofa after his first live dance on Saturday night’s live show.
