Nicola and Katya leave strictly

[Mitchell]

Katya has tested positive for COVID so they’ve had to leave.

Gutting.

[Liam-]

Ah that’s terrible

[Vanessa]

This could happen to any of the couples. It's actually really worrying :sad:

[Shaun]

Katya ruining everything for the gays :fist:

[Liam-]

Which one of them was meant to be isolating?

[Kate!]

Oh no. Feel sorry for them to have to leave this way. X

[Vanessa]

I think they will still have an elimination.

[Nicky91]

evidence?


Just posted

[Josiah.]

Nicky, the evidence: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54919497

The article from the BBC News website says that Katya is asymptomatic.

On DWTS, Jeannie Mai withdrew on what was supposed to be double elimination day, so production switched it to a single elimination.

[Nicky91]

no loss for the show lol

and very handy now they were meant to do a slower in hold ballroom dance for first time :think:


and how on earth could Katya catch covid when in a bubble all the time :conf:

She’d still need to go to the shops to buy milk hun

[Nicky91]

no, they should be forbidden to go to the shops

[UserSince2005]

the mistreatment of the lgbt community continues.
They should have put them in a hamster ball.

no more same-sex dance couples now pls

[Mitchell]

They should be made to starve to death?

[Nicky91]

dumb Katya should be sacked immediately for this :idc: for not obeying the rules

[Nicky91]

give Katya a 1 million fine for her stupidity, my dear BBC pls

[Black Dagger]

Shut the **** up you moron.

[Crimson Dynamo]

dumb Katya should be sacked immediately for this :idc: for not obeying the rules

Isnt she the one who broke the rules by snogging her dance partner in public and he had a girlfriend?

[Barry.]

Are you solely blaming her for that?

[Crimson Dynamo]

As the pro on the BBC books yes i am

[Barry.]

It takes two to tango, Sean’s not innocent in this

[Liam-]

Kissing someone isn’t against the Strictly Come Dancing rules surprisingly

[Josiah.]

Maybe someone on production?

[Vanessa]

She could have caught it anywhere.
Even at the supermarket.

[Nicky91]

+1

this is what i think


at lets dance germany it had been proven that the bubbles work


maybe katya didn't wear a face mask, maybe at the supermarket like you say

[Mitchell]

give Katya a 1 million fine for her stupidity, my dear BBC pls

She was on It Takes Two yesterday, I hope they social distanced :eek:

Its a shame and could happen to anyone sadly. I was looking forward to their dance this week to see them do ballroom. Poor Nicola :sad:

i was also thinking that, but maybe Katya got the virus yesterday before heading off to training or something, or after training while going to supermarket


a 'bubble' works when there is effort from both sides the production (BBC) and the couples (both the people in that couple)

lets dance germany their series this year was amid the peak of the first wave, zero cases over there (of main cast, crew, just one backstage crew member but he was moved into home quarantaine safely)

[Nicky91]

i'd say no more unnecessary visits, no more supermarket visits

let the groceries be delivered on your doorstep at the isolation apartment

let this one be a wake up call for remainder of the series to be extra extra careful now

because katya was clearly not sticking fully to the rules then

[Vanessa]

They could do online shopping.
That would be better?

[Mitchell]

Good luck getting slots, here our next delivery slot is in December

[Cherie]

She’d still need to go to the shops to buy milk hun

tbf Nicky has a point, and you don't get covid from going to the shops if you distance yourself :shrug: I thought they were in a bubble with their partner as well

[Cherie]

Good luck getting slots, here our next delivery slot is in December

Surely the production team would organise shopping, its been done in Universities for self isolating students so not a stretch to think it would be happening on the show?

[Vanessa]

Three are slots in Iceland.
I always shop there.

[Morgan.]

Every supermarket is mid-December here where I am, even Iceland.

[Vanessa]

Gethin is standing in for Rylan.

[Denver]

Seeing as she was in the B2 they should give Jason and Luba the chance to return

[UserSince2005]

I feel like its only a matter of time before the whole show is cancelled.

[Strictly Jake]

They will still have an elimination there was supposed to be 5 in the final and now there only has to be 4

[LaLaLand]

Wouldn't be surprised if we see Nicola back next year because of this tbh.

[Gstar]

I feel like more people will catch it now

[Gstar]

Omg that car crash story :worry:

[Ammi]

...this is so sad and disappointing for Nicola, she just seemed so filled with joy at being there and dancing, her smile could light up a city and beyond...:lovedup:...I hope that she and everyone else is okay and that Katya recovers well ...

[Ammi]

Omg that car crash story :worry:

....wow, so tragic...winning 45 Million on the lottery is like a ‘movie script’ thing anyway...but then the car crash and his gran losing her life on Christmas Day and him being accused of causing her death because of how he drove, presumably...:sad:...

Very sad, it’s not his Gran I don’t think, it was a couple making their way home Christmas Day :sad:

[joeysteele]

I actually think Nicola and Katya were likely the bottom of the viewers votes Saturday gone.

So I don't think they were going to get too far in this series.

I hope Katya soon recovers, it's always sad to be part of something like this, then to have to leave it, especially due to this.

Perhaps they could invite Nicola back for the next or a future series.
That would be a good gesture.

[GoldHeart]

She could have caught it anywhere.
Even at the supermarket.

I wonder if they bothered to wear masks when they were out in the supermarket etc . But as we know it's so easy to catch it .

But this whole thing makes me sigh in frustration , because I kept thinking the couples on strictly were at risk with Covid :rolleyes: . So I'm not surprised sadly.

i wouldn't be surprised if someone will have to withdraw due to covid, at upcoming dancing on ice either

[GoldHeart]

:facepalm: Yeah I always think that will happen now with these TV shows. Especially if it's a group of people mingling together .

[Nicky91]

uh lol


why is Germany then doing better at these tv shows? oh wait people overall actually obey the rules a lot better


also i don't mind them having cancelled regular dschungelcamp (IAC) and coming with a replacement show which i am going to watch of course


now the BBC still have a good plan with their measures, bubbles, however their only mistake is going outside for VT's which they would've been better off if they toned that down too, with solely training vt's in couples their own training rooms


also Katya's positive covid test, hmmm AJ got tested positive too before IAC, but few days later came back negative, what if Katya turns out to test negative now, i mean false positive covid tests can happen :think:
