Head judge Amanda Holden insisted she was just “working from home” after three of the show’s crew tested positive for the virus.
Filming of a Christmas special was due to start yesterday, but production was shut down after details of the positive results came through on Monday.
The Sun understands the panel had been in close contact with at least one of those affected, who was sent home after their diagnosis.
