RUFUS Hound has been booted out of Dancing on Ice after testing positive for coronavirus for a second time. The comedian, 41, has already missed two weeks of the show after being told he must self isolate after getting a Test and Trace notification.
He subsequently tested positive for COVID-19 meaning he had to stay at home by law. But having completed his period of quarantine, he has tested positive again meaning ITV producers have told him he must leave the competition.
Hound will now be replaced on Dancing on Ice by former Xtra Factor presenter and fellow comedian Matt Richardson. It comes after The Sun told how bosses had changed rules meaning as of Monday a positive diagnosis meant celebrities or skaters were out.
