It's really unfortunate this has happened, but hopefully the backstage protocols will mean that they are the only cast members affected.  Unlike real life for most of us now, Strictly still has social distancing rules in place and crew members are wearing masks. I'm sure they are both gutted that they have to sit out. I wish them both well.
