'Travelling back and forth to the US isn't likely to be possible this year. The primary concern is that regular flights would put Bruno at risk of catching the virus.
'And on a logistical level he may need to quarantine every time he arrives back in Britain, which obviously isn't viable if he needs to be back in the US just a few days later'.
'Producers don't want to take any chances. Bruno's health is the priority'.

'Bruno has missed weeks here and there in the past because of his commitments in the US, and other stars have covered for him.
'But finding someone to replace him for a whole series will be a big ask. Also, he is so popular. Without him some viewers may switch off'.
'I've spoken to the producers and they're working through absolutely everything to make it happen. I know, fingers crossed, it will.
'There is some way around it, there has to be. People love the show, it's great entertainment... We really want it back and I know BBC One are working extremely hard to make that happen for the audience'.
