Strictly Come Dancing bosses say they 'aren't bulletproof' to COVID-19 in the wake of contestant Tom Fletcher and his professional dance partner Amy Dowden's positive tests.
It's understood that show producers were quietly 'dismayed' after hearing of their shock diagnosis on Sunday, with the pair now ruled out of Saturday's show while they recover from the contagious respiratory bug.
Amy, who received her COVID-19 vaccination prior to contracting the illness, had previously accompanied Tom and his McFly bandmates during their current UK tour.
But the BBC tell MailOnline there are no plans to increase testing because they are 'satisfied' the measures they currently have in place are as good as they can be.
'Tom and Amy's positive test was the worst possible news,' an insider told MailOnline.
'After days of negative headlines about dancers not getting the jab, producers had hoped the start of the show would see them turn a corner and put this story to bed.
'So for Amy and Tom to go down with COVID was absolutely crushing news and left everyone dismayed.
'But BBC bosses are refusing to panic. They believe the measures in place are as good as they can be. They've always been clear that nothing is going to be bulletproof and producers can only follow Government guidelines.
'They are now just hoping nobody else comes down with the virus because that would really put the show in danger of being cancelled.'

He looks like a gay Joe Scarborough. Is that his intern?
If purple attracts the Wuflu, this dude is Exhibit A.
The tests might be the only thing more fake than the vaccines.
It is sad but funny as well. The current “experimental vaccines” give no protection at all against the current Covid variants. All they do is suppress the symptoms in some while their viral load increases to levels where they infect others. How do I know? First hand experience. My vaccinated niece tested positive for Covid but had no symptoms. But she managed to give it to her boyfriend, his brother, and a few others. They are all young, so none of them have symptoms, all were tested because their employers required it. Same exact story with my vaccinated brother and sister-in-law. Everyone who came into contact with them started coming down with Covid so they got tested and it came back positive. At first they tried to blame the unvaccinated people. But it became more and more obvious from the sequence of who came down with it, that they were the ones giving everyone else “sick”.
It seems that the jab isn't working for dancers...
