“There are a number of things that I’m disappointed about. Obviously, I’m disappointed that I’m not there. We are a little bit worried about Dancing on Ice because I’m cutting it fine for Dancing on Ice on Sunday.

This is due to current rules that state you need a negative test on day five and six in order to leave isolation early.
If those test results are still positive by Sunday, his position on the Dancing On Ice live show will be in doubt.

Rochelle has replaced Holly for the past two weeks, as she is busy filming for her new show for the BBC.
