    On Friday, the social media star, real name Harvey Leigh Cantwell, added, “Morning guys, just a little thought. im only 21 and in good health so it just shows that being young doesn’t make you invincible, so make sure you wear a mask please, have a good day.”
    A BBC spokesman confirmed HRVY has tested positive but said the 21-year-old is still expected to take part in the next series of the show – the U.K. version of “Dancing With the Stars” – which will launch on 17 October, with the competition beginning the following week.
    “Pending a negative test, HRVY won’t miss the launch recording or any dance training,” the spokesperson added. “We wish him all the best. We have rigorous protocols in place to manage Covid-19 as the safety of all those involved in the production is paramount.”
    The new season of “Strictly Come Dancing” also features Jacqui Smith, Maisie Smith, Jamie Laing, JJ Chalmers, Bill Bailey, Clara Amfo, Ranvir Singh, Nicola Adams, Caroline Quentin, Jason Bell, and Max George.

    Sep 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Champion boxer Nicola Adams will be part of U.K. TV ballroom dancing contest “Strictly Come Dancing” ‘s first-ever same-sex partnership.
    The Olympic athlete said she was the one who suggested having a female partner when she was asked to take part in the talent show, telling “BBC Breakfast”, “I think it’s really important. It’s definitely time for change. It’s definitely time to move on and be more diverse, and this is a brilliant step in the right direction.”
    The name of her dance partner has yet to be announced.
    Nicola added that she didn’t mind who she’s paired with, but explained she wanted “someone on the short side” because she herself is petite.
    “It will be nice for the LGBT community to be able to see there are same-sex couples on the show as well,” she smiled.
    While the pairing will make “Strictly” history, it’s not the first time a same-sex couple has competed on a British television show – Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins was teamed up with Matt Evers on ice skating show “Dancing on Ice” earlier this year (20).
