SHIRLEY Ballas has revealed she's "gutted" after Katya Jones' Covid diagnosis has seen her and Nicola Adams axed from the show.
The head judge heard the news just before appearing on Dan Wootton's TalkRadio drivetime show. And she told him: "I'm absolutely gutted.
It's historic, this partnership. It was doing so well, and of course we wish them a speedy recovery and that Katya gets better. "Health before anything.
Health is your wealth, and it's sad for all of them because I know they personally are gutted." Show bosses have worked hard to keep cast and crew safe from the virus; from getting rid of the studio audience, to the celebs forming bubbles with their partners.
