HRVY has urged his followers to "wear a mask" after confirming that he has tested positive for coronavirus.

Following his diagnosis earlier this week the 21-year-old musician is now completing a 10-day period in isolation ahead of his stint on Strictly Come Dancing later this month.

Posting on Twitter, he wrote: "morning guys, just a little thought. im only 21 and in good health so it just shows that being young doesn't make you invincible, so make sure you wear a mask please, have a good day."

With several weeks to go until the series begins, HRVY will still be permitted to take part in Strictly, although any contestants who pick up COVID-19 once the show has started will be immediately disqualified.

Assuming his symptoms remain mild, HRVY is due to come out of quarantine just in time for the celebrity-professional pairings show, which is due to be recorded on Monday, October 12.
