Happy Mondays star Bez has tested positive for COVID-19.
Bez has tested positive for COVID
The 57-year-old musician has revealed he tested positive for the virus shortly after performing on 'Dancing on Ice' - but he's expected to return to the show in time for week three, on January 30.
Bez - who wasn't actually due to perform during week two of the ITV series - told the Daily Star: "I’ve had a positive test.
"I’m gutted because I’m going to be missing training but I’m looking forward to skating on the show again for week three and I’ll be tuning at home and cheering on my mates who are skating this weekend."
An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: "We have stringent protocols in place to ensure the health and safety of all our contributors and staff which are routinely monitored and updated to reflect the current guidelines."
Bez made his debut appearance on the show over the weekend, when he took to the ice wearing a helmet after he struggled in training.
But the music star finished bottom of the leaderboard and failed to impress the judges with his routine.
Christopher Dean said after his performance: "Skating is hard, you've shown how hard it is. You've got a mark for turning up, standing up and a mark for that jump."
Bez performed to his own song 'Step On', but was awarded a meagre 12.5 out of 40 by the judges.
However, Ashley Banjo admitted to being "genuinely entertained" by Bez's efforts.
He explained: "You've got my respect, if anyone needed to wear a crash helmet ... I don't think they'd come out. But you have. Forgot the scores, I was genuinely entertained."
