Strictly Come Dancing: Nicola Adams exits after Katya Jones catches Covid

Former boxer Nicola Adams and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones have left the BBC contest after Jones
tested positive for Covid-19.

A statement said the programme's "protocols" meant the pair would now self-isolate and would not be able to take
part in the rest of the series.

They made history as the first same-sex couple to take part in the UK show.

Meanwhile, judge Motsi Mabuse has said she will be self-isolating this weekend after an "urgent" trip abroad.

Olympic gold medallist Adams said: "I'm absolutely devastated my Strictly journey has come to an end so soon."

"I had so much more to give and so many people to win this for! But I just want to say a huge thank you to Katya
for being the best dance partner anyone could ask for.

"I'm gutted to be out of the competition but in these unprecedented times and as frustrating as it is, the Covid
measures in place are to keep everyone safe, and I'm doing what I can to help."

Jones is asymptomatic and said she was "devastated to leave this way".

"But I've made a friend for life and loved every moment of this special journey," she added.

Host Claudia Winkleman said she was "so sad", while It Takes Two presenter Zoe Ball said she was
"gutted for Nicola and Katya", adding: "You made history girls."
