Strictly Come Dancing star Tom Fletcher and his professional partner Amy Dowden have tested positive for COVID-19.
It comes after the singer sparked concern after pulling out of tonight’s McFly concert (September 26).
The McFly singer released a statement to reveal he had been forced to withdraw from the band’s stadium show at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow due to ill health.
He and Amy are also out of next week’s Strictly Come Dancing live show.
A show spokesperson revealed to the Daily Mail: “Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden have tested positive for COVID-19.
“The pair are now self-isolating separately following the latest government guidelines.
“While they will both miss Saturday’s live show, Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week.”
What has Strictly hopeful Tom said about tonight’s McFly show?
A statement posted by the band said: “Unfortunately Tom is unwell and won’t be onstage with us tonight in Glasgow.
“Tom sends huge and heartfelt apologies to all the fans he won’t see tonight.
“The show will still be going ahead, we’re looking forward to seeing you all and need you guys to sing extra loud for us tonight!”
