Coronavirus has not only ruined most of our plans irl, but it is also still continuing to wreak havoc on our TV schedules. First, there was no Love Island, with filming on shows such as Derry Girls and Britain's Got Talent halted due to the pandemic.
But all hope is not lost for telly in autumn and winter. ITV are bringing back I'm A Celebrity (in the UK, no less), and, meanwhile, on the BBC, Strictly is most likely going to be coming back. Apart from it's going to look very different.
Here's what we know so far.
So, what is happening with Strictly?
'The Strictly Come Dancing team are doing everything they can to bring the nation plenty of Strictly magic later this year,' a spokesperson for the show has said. 'To ensure we deliver the high standards audiences know and love, and in light of the ongoing considerations around COVID-19, this year’s series of Strictly will have a slightly shorter run than usual. The safety of our cast and crew is of the utmost importance to us and further updates will be made in due course.'
And from what we know so far, there's probably not going to be a live studio audience for the show, which hopefully shouldn't impact things too much. To try and stop the spread of the virus, dancers and the celebrities could be isolating too. Pro Anton du Beke has said: 'Potentially we will end up in a hotel for a couple of weeks or a month. That's what has been spoken about and has been provisionally pencilled in. Everything else is contingencies but we're waiting for instructions and the situation is massively fluid at the moment so we will see what happens.'

There is also expected to be a special tribute to previous winner, Caroline Flack. on a new one-off special episode Strictly: The Best Of The Final.
What's going on with HRVY?
Contestant HRVY - singer and YouTube star - has tested positive for coronavirus in the lead-up to the show's launch.
'I have coronavirus', he tweeted. 'I’m all good, no symptoms, just isolating for the next 10 days. already super bored so prepare yourselves for my Tik toks.'
A representative of the programme said that all will be well, though. 'Pending a negative test, HRVY won't miss the launch recording or any dance training. We wish him all the best. We have rigorous protocols in place to manage Covid-19 as the safety of all those involved in the production is paramount.'
Who else is going to be on Strictly in 2020?
It's a fun line-up this year. As well as HRVY, we have Ranvir Singh, Nicola Adams, Jamie Laing, Clara Amfo, Jacqui Smith, Max George, Maisie Smith, JJ Chalmers, Caroline Quentin, Bill Bailey and Jason Bell.
Meanwhile, the professionals have been confirmed as as Aljaž Škorjanec, Amy Dowden, Anton Du Beke, Dianne Buswell, Giovanni Pernice, Gorka Marquez, Graziano Di Prima, Janette Manrara, Johannes Radebe, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Luba Mushtuk, Nadiya Bychkova, Nancy Xu, Neil Jones, and Oti Mabuse. Former dancer Kevin Clifton - who won the series last year with celebrity partner Stacey Dooley - is leaving the show after seven years.
There are also questions about whether Bruno Tonioli - who flies from LA to London frequently throughout the series - is going to be able to judge this year's series.
When is Strictly going to be on TV?
It's expected to run from late October until late December, but the BBC are yet to confirm this.
