There have been claims that BBC executives have banned contestants and dancers from partying after a series of COVID-19-related scares.
Contestants are said to have been told they are to take part in the series and nothing else after Maisie and her rumoured boyfriend HRVY, 21, were pictured breaking the show’s rules during filming for It Takes Two, getting a little too close for comfort.
According to The Sun, bosses are keeping an eye on the pair, fearing a romance could form and put social distancing rules at risk, after Katya Jones and Nicola Adams have already been forced to pull out of the show.

A source said: ‘There is disappointment with HRVY and Maisie after their partying was exposed last week.
‘Contestants, cast and crew have always had a few drinks after the show to let off steam. But bosses have slapped a party ban on the youngsters and reminded them they are there for the show and nothing else.
‘Some older crew members have commented that they’re turning the show into Ibiza Weekender.’
