CRAIG Revel Horwood has declared he’ll be thrilled if everyone has to follow social distancing on the new series of Strictly.

The judge wants to be as far away as possible from his co-star Bruno Tonioli.

He told the new issue of Woman’s Own: “The desk will have to be bigger if we’re social distancing. I can’t wait to be at least six metres from Bruno!”

Strictly bosses are making a string of changes so the show can still air despite the pandemic.

There are plans to scrap group dances and have no live studio audience.

LINE Of Duty has got a new villain… expanding waistlines.

After work on the new series was stopped by the pandemic, its stars have been enjoying plenty of tasty grub while in lockdown.

So now when they return to finish filming, they’re worried they’ll look chubbier on camera and the scenes won’t match up.

Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Hastings, is one of the stars who continuity will be an issue.

He told Yours magazine: “I’ve become quite obsessive about gardening and cooking. ‘What will we eat tonight?’ becomes the most important question of the day!

“When we do start filming Line Of Duty again, I may well have put on weight…” Adrian also admitted: “I’m kind of worried… a lot of us are eating quite a lot!”

Last week TV dramas were given the green light to restart production under strict conditions.

But Line Of Duty boss Jed Mercurio has revealed the show isn’t likely to continue filming until next year.

He said: “A lot of people are working very hard to come up with codes of practice within the TV industry.

“Until testing, trace and isolate is put into place in wider society it is going to be hard for anyone.

“We can’t make productions in a bubble. The cast and crew go home and mix with others – they can’t work in isolation.”
