'Unfortunately, if you receive a positive test, that means you wouldn't be able to continue in the competition.
'According to guidelines, you would have to isolate for two weeks and that would rule you out'.
'Close contact cohort applies to people who need to be able to work more closely together with one person and are regularly tested.
'We are also asking our celebrities and dancers to be part of an exclusive support bubble that means that one half of the party has to live alone'.
She said:
'Instead we have done a Halloween group number, but Halloween actually falls on the second week this year so we thought that might be a bit too early for a themed week.
'Obviously we won't be able to go to Blackpool this year, unfortunately, but we will be doing a very special celebration of Blackpool in one of the shows'.

'The other couples will be watching from the audience this year, we have distanced tables for them opposite the judges' side. They will all be able to watch each other, so I think you will still get that sense of camaraderie and of them being able to support each other.
'We've come up with some other creative fun ideas of things we can do in Claudia's area and we are also including Bruno in the results show'.
'He will be able to watch the show on a live link over in LA. Although he won't be scoring, we'll get a little update from him on what he thinks of the couples and he will also be able to call out his fellow judges in the results show if he disagrees with them'.
