Shows like The Apprentice and the Britain's Got Talent lives shows were all cancelled this year as the Coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to filming across the world.
But now that filming has resumed on most popular shows, bosses at Strictly have come up with a number of ways to ensure the series goes ahead as safely as possible.
Popular judge Craig Revel Horwood told Best magazine that the celebrity contestants will isolate at a hotel for two weeks before filming starts, adhering to quarantine guidelines. He explained the situation further, telling the publication, "The rule is the dancer can go back to their home, and the celeb to either their home or a hotel."
Craig also revealed that the show will likely see some guest judges, and added, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. We’re lucky to be getting Strictly on the road at all. People need Strictly – and it’s happening – come hell or high water."
