Celebs Go Dating is reportedly in crisis after multiple stars were forced to stop filming due to a break out of Covid.
At least four of the celebrities planning on finding love through the upcoming E4 show are said to have been affected by the self-isolating rules.
A source told The Sun : “It’s chaos. One of the celebs caught Covid and was filming with at least three of the other stars, meaning they’re all out of the game for a while now.
“It’s a worry for producers because, as with most shows, they’re on a very right schedule, but the health and safety of the cast and crew is obviously their top priority.”
