Strictly’s Tilly Ramsay forced to pull out of finale after positive Covid test

Tilly Ramsay has announced that she will be forced to pull out of the Strictly Come Dancing finale after a positive Covid test.

Tilly Ramsay has announced that she will be forced to pull out of this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing finale after a positive Covid test.

Tilly, 20, was partnered with pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin and was set to come back to the BBC show this weekend for the special group dance after being voted off the show last month.

The daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay shared the news on Instagram to her 1.2 million followers,  writing: “So sad to be missing the Strictly final – but sadly have tested positive for Covid so will be watching from my sofa and cheering on the amazing finalists from home on Saturday night.”

She said she was “wishing everyone lots of love and good luck.”

Robert Webb also announced he will not be returning for the group final, he said: “I seem to have switched from public to private mode and one of the effects of this is people will inevitably find their own ways to interpret my ‘silence.’”

“It really isn’t silence of course. It’s just doing other stuff but I thought I ought to pipe up because I won’t be in the group dance of the Strictly final this [Saturday],” he added.

The comedian then told his followers: “I didn’t want my absence (or my ‘silence’ about it) to be taken as evidence of any kind of bad feeling towards the show.”

“My love for Strictly is a season that is forever summer. However, the producers understood that when I had to stop, I had to stop completely.”
