I’m A Celebrity bosses have confirmed AJ Pritchard will be “dancing his way into camp” this week, after he previously tested positive for Covid-19.
Over the weekend, The Sun reported that AJ had tested positive for the coronavirus, just days before he’s due to enter the I’m A Celeb camp.
A spokesman for ITV said: “We can confirm that one member of the cast has received a positive covid result and that individual is self isolating where we are giving them all the support that they need.”
“I’m A Celebrity has robust health and safety measures and protocols in place in order to operate safely within Covid-19 guidelines.”
Despite his worrying test result, the professional dancer is expected to make a full recovery before the new series kicks off this Sunday.
On their official Twitter account today, I’m A Celeb tweeted a photo of AJ, and wrote:Â “He’s leaving his fake tan, jazz hands and glitter behind but we’re hoping he brings those ballroom moves with him – it’s not long until @Aj11Ace will be dancing his way into Camp! #ImACeleb.”
The photo lists AJ’s credentials, and notes his phobias include “heights and claustrophobia”.
