Several ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ stars have been feeling "under the weather".
A sickness bug has reportedly struck on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show, with pro dancers and celebs said to be affected, and contestant Catherine Tyldesley has admitted she has been trying to dodge the "lurgy".
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Everyone is working hard and obviously they get up close and personal with each other as they dance. When someone gets sick it quickly spreads through the cast.
"Lots of people have been under the weather but the show must go on."
Catherine said: "I’m not feeling great today. I’m very tired.
"The lurgy has been doing the rounds at Strictly for weeks. It’s been trying to get me but it won’t win."
Last week, Shirley Ballas took to Instagram to reveal to fans she was receiving a vitamins drip after a "tough week", in which she was sent death threats.
She wrote: "Very happy to receive this drip today to help me get well. Full of all sorts of things vitamin c magnesium b12 and the list goes on.
"Feeling under the weather today as a result of a tough week. So @revivuk will have me up and running by Saturday. (sic)"
And earlier this month, Karim Zeroual was forced to miss a recording of ‘Strictly: It Takes Two’ after he was struck down with flu.
His pro partner Amy Dowden said: "He’s got the lurgy, so he’s resting up as we need him fighting fit for Saturday night.
"He’s so disappointed not to be here."
