How Will This Affect the Competition?
Strictly's producers have assured viewers that the show will go on, with the remaining couples competing as usual. However, Fletcher and Dowden will automatically advance to the following week if they test negative in time.
Fan Reactions
Supporters of the pair have flooded social media with well-wishes, hoping for a speedy recovery. Many praised Fletcher's dedication, recalling his energetic performances in previous weeks.
What's Next?
