Strictly Come Dancing producers have snubbed Cheryl from a judges seat on the 2020 competition despite Bruno Tonioli giving his blessing for her to replace him.
The hit BBC dance competition is gearing up to return this autumn – with reduced episodes and strict safety measures in place amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
However, regular judge Bruno, 64, has thrown a spanner in the works as he is also a judge on Dancing With The Stars – the American version of Strictly.
Concerns have been raised over Bruno jetting between the UK and USA as he normally would while the deadly COVID-19 virus outbreak continues to threaten the global airline industry.
