The 40-year-old was due to perform the Cha-Cha with her dance partner Graziano Di Prima on Saturday night.
A Strictly spokesperson said: “Judi Love has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating following the latest government guidelines.”
“While Judi and Graziano will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, they will return the following week.”
Judi also confirmed the news on social media by tweeting: “Hey my lovelies it’s with great disappointment that I will not be performing this weekend @bbcstrictly due to testing positive with Covid 19.”
“Hoping to make a speedy recovery & dance for you next weekend. Stay safe & thank you for your well wishes.”

Judi isn’t the first Strictly contestant to be affected by Covid-19 this season.
McFly’s Tom Fletcher and his dance partner Amy Dowden missed out on week two of the series after testing positive for the virus.
