Celebs Go Dating has been thrown into chaos after Curtis Pritchard reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.
It has caused filming on the E4 dating show to be postponed, it has been claimed.
The former Love Island contestant, 24, is said to have coronavirus despite quarantining for two weeks.
The Sun tonight reports that Curtis has tested positive – but that he is feeling “fine”.
A source told the publication: “It’s just terrible luck for Curtis. He followed all the rules by the letter of the law, quarantined for two weeks and kept himself to himself.

“And he still managed to somehow pick up this virus.
“He is absolutely fine, has no symptoms and feels fit as a fiddle. But it’s put the brakes on the whole show until he gets the all-clear and everyone else continues to test negative.”
Daily Star has contacted Curtis’ reps for comment.
It is the latest health scare to worry the family.

Curtis’ brother AJ also tested positive for Covid days before the start of I’m A Celebrity.
In a recent interview before heading to the Castle, AJ told MailOnline: “I did have a positive Covid test early on into my isolation.
“I’m very, very happy to report I’ve had two negative tests recently and they’ve both come back very, very negative which means I’m 100 per cent going into the jungle/castle whatever we’re calling it now, into the castle, and I’m very excited about that.

“A big relief for everybody.”
It is suggested Curtis is now in isolation until he tests negative.
For the very first time, the stars and their potential matches will bed down together in the lavish mansion as producers change up the hit show.
The launch date for the new series of Celebs Go Dating has yet to be announced.
