The Britain's Got Talent Christmas special has postponed its filming after at least three crew members tested positive for coronavirus.A spokeswoman for the ITV show said protocols had been followed and "crew members are self-isolating at home"."As a result of a positive Covid-19 result received yesterday we have implemented our protocols and a number of crew members are self-isolating at home," the spokeswoman said.

"As a result, we are unable to continue filming our BGT Christmas Special today and have taken the decision to postpone. "The safety of all those involved in the show is our number one priority and we follow extensive Covid-19 related procedures to adhere to all government guidelines."The talent show, hosted by Ant and Dec, crowned its latest winner - comedian Jon Courtenay - on Saturday.

Julia_St_Albans Good it’s lefty racist garbage that the people won’t watch. A bit like BBC

There is a god!!!

Well done! They are certainly talented at getting infected!

Least some good has come from this shambles

No great loss their, it’s crap

Never mind one less shit show to watch.

Thank goodness for that

Shame it’s not cancelled all together...

Well it is the time for miracles!

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

This is gonna ruin Christmas for dozens... 😉😉

Yippee

Oh dear. Never mind.

Good it’s Cancelled 😑 sad they have caught the Virus 🦠

Every cloud,there will be a christmas after all

Ok

BGT (Britains Got Troxietes) Oh dear I'm devastated

Really good news! After all the complaints to Ofcom I'm surprised they want to air again I'd really like to know what Simon Cowell thinks about it all.

Oh no, what are we going to do?

I wouldn't bother if I was them.

At last, some good news.

So nice to see the BBC reporting positive news for once.

Every cloud...

Oh well the BLM virtue signalling will need to take a break

Good i hate it!

There is a Santa 🎅🏻 thank you

Or maybe because there's no talent..

Strickly next with a bit of luck

Thats a bloody shame.......NOT! ITV's Christmas line up might not be so bad after all this year!

Is it possible that we might yet be spared these two at Christmas?

Now......call me cynical......but I’m getting mixed messages here! 🤣🤣🤣

Just cancel it - no longer worth watching anyway!

well doh, no one wore masks.

Thank goodness. I prefer the Carry On film repeats which are shown back to back annually and the Steptoe and Son Christmas special.

Thank fuck

Next stop cancelled completely 👍

ITV may put something entertaining on instead.

Sorry for those infected but Christmas has come early!

2020 is starting to brighten up .

If you don't like it don't watch it!. Stop trying to ruin for those that do.

Some good news for once

Fuck BGT scrapBGT 🙄

Good we might get something that's actually entertaining on instead

This is not funny. Nigerians are dying

Every cloud

And the rest were diagnosed as talentless!

Every cloud..

Respite at last! Take all the time off you need crew.

Excellent 👍 best news I've had today, rubbish woke nonsense now.

Sad about the crew but long may the postponement last.

I hope it's getting postponed until the 2389 Christmas special.

Huggy judges don't help

Thank god every cloud as a silver lining. We have all got early Christmas present

Every cloud

There is a God!! 👏👏👏👏

I watched the final the other night and if that’s our best 10 then hopefully filming will never resume!

The Lord moves in mysterious ways

And them two multi millionaires are laughing at it? Shame on them. Another reason to DefundTheBBC

They took it well then lol

Mrs Browns Boys next please!

Something good always comes out of a bad situation. BGT should retire now - this last series was bleedin’ awful 👎🏻

Won't be missed.

Until the COVID19 virus is controlled, this is what will happen when people from different households gather indoors while unmasked.

Not through lack of talent then?

Christmas has come early

And long may the postponement continue!

Every cloud and all that

More like postponed because it's no longer watchable as has become woke, race war baiting rubbish?

What's the bad news? 🤣

Why have you put up a picture of them laughing?

At last some good news!!

Time for it that show to retire.

Christmas come early.

Good! It’s a load of shit anyway.

Oh dear........

Some good news finally!

An early Christmas present.

Some good news, that show is shit

There is a god! 🙏

How sad!😂

Every cloud

Change the name to Got Corona and you are good to go.

Covid on campus: Students fed up with being blamed for virus spikeAs Covid cases surge on US campuses young people say politicians should also take responsibility. I should imagine I'd be pretty annoyed about being set up as well. So it’s not just the U.K. young spiteful arrogant adults who refuse to abide by the law, it’s the young adults worldwide partly to blame for spreading Covi, which is killing our family members, governments & parents need to be much stronger, close all businesses they converge at. Young people not wanting to accept responsibility.....surprise surprise. Millennial students are the worst.....we'd have just kept on shagging and drinking not worrying about what the politicians say. Pathetic.
