The Wheel: Redknapp and Grimshaw impacted by Covid case

Former football manager Harry Redknapp and Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw took part in the recording of the episode

Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw is among the celebrities self-isolating after a crew member tested positive for Covid-19 on the set of BBC One's The Wheel.

Former football manager Harry Redknapp has also cancelled engagements and is following social distancing guidelines.

However, a spokesman for Mr Redknapp said he had tested negative and was not self-isolating.

The Wheel, which is hosted by Michael McIntyre, is currently filming a new series which will air later this year.

During the filming of one episode last Friday, some celebrity guests came into contact with a crew member who later tested positive for coronavirus.

A BBC spokesman said in a statement: "We can confirm an individual has tested positive for Covid. The production has and will continue to follow strict government guidelines to ensure the safety of all on the show."

Former football manager Redknapp was among the celebrities who took part in the recording.

"Harry underwent a Covid test earlier this week, which was negative but decided to cancel any imminent functions just out of precaution," a spokesman for Mr Redknapp told BBC News.

"He is following NHS guidelines and will continue to actively practice social distancing."

The BBC has commissioned 18 new episodes of Michael McIntyre's The Wheel

Meanwhile, presenter Grimshaw is hosting his BBC Radio 1 afternoon show from home this week as he self isolates. Arielle Free has been brought in to co-present the show with Grimshaw from the studio.

It's understood the filming schedule is unaffected, with the rest of the series being recorded as planned.

The other celebrities thought to have taken part in the episode include Carol Vorderman, Angela Scanlon and Andi Oliver, however it's understood that not every guest came into contact with the affected crew member.

The BBC announced in January it was commissioning a second series of The Wheel with twice the number of episodes as the first.

The first series of The Wheel was a ratings hit, with all nine episodes attracting an audience of more than four million viewers each, including catch-up.

The game show sees celebrities placed on the outer ring of a giant wheel, answering general knowledge questions to help the member of the public in the centre of the wheel to win money.
