Strictly Come Dancing star Max George has revealed those taking part in this year’s series face tough social-distancing rules.
The Wanted singer, who is paired up this year with pro dancer Dianne Buswell, told how contestants get “shouted at” if they break the BBC show’s intimacy rules by “approaching” someone less than 2m away.
Couples on the show have been placed in a support bubble, allowing them to dance and work closely together.
But close interaction with other members has been banned.
Max told Radio Times: “If you start approaching someone, you get shouted at.
“Someone will yell, ‘Two metres!’
“So they’re on top of it,” he added.

Contestants who test positive for Covid on the programme will be booted off the show immediately.
Earlier this week Max revealed he fears he may clash with judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Max is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his fellow The Wanted band member, Jay McGuiness, 30, who won the show in 2015.
The new series kicked off on Saturday with the singer finding out he has been paired with Dianne Buswel.

And the pop star explained he thinks could clash with Craig because he’s unfair with his scoring.
Max suggested he would challenge him if he isn’t happy with his scores.
He said: “I think Craig can be a bit harsh sometimes so I might give him a little bit back.
“Anything six and above, I’ll be buzzing and anything below that I’ll be like, alright, I’ve got some serious work to do.

“But they are there to help, aren’t they? So I think I’ll be alright with it.”
Speaking to Express.co.uk, he told he has always had limited dance experience despite being in a boy group.
He added he remember during the audition process for The Wanted, he nearly didn’t get in “because of dancing”.
The singer admitted he’s also ready to put his sole focus into training to dance, adding he “doesn’t really have anything else to do”.
Instead of the usual live performances, the professional dancers pre-recorded their group routine together.
The 14 dancers had to self isolate together in a hotel for two weeks so they could pre-film a batch of group dances.

Last month Max, 32, took to Instagram to reveal to his 129,000 followers that he was spending his “last night for a while” with his girlfriend Stacey Giggs.
