Bez tests positive for covid as the Happy Mondays legend admits he’s ‘worst contestant ever’

Bez ‘could die’ if he fell on the skating rink warns his fiancée

The Happy Mondays star, 57, was the first contestant in the ITV skating competition to wear a helmet after falling during rehearsal.

His fiancé Firouzeh Razavi, 35 years old, admitted that she was worried about him, said Daily Star: “When he told me he had fallen, I said, ‘Oh no, that’s not good at all. I always say, ‘Whatever you do, protect your head. You can’t hang your head because you might die’.

“I don’t want to attract negative energy…we are a lucky couple.”

Speaking before taking to the field, Bez admitted his skills on the ice were limited, but said he wouldn’t try too hard because he didn’t want to get injured before his wedding to Firouzeh.

He said: “When I first started [skating], I had double vision, I was seeing two skating rinks. The worst thing is trying to put food in my mouth, I keep missing it! ”

“On Friday, during training sessions, I kept falling. I was too worried. Don’t worry, though – I’m not killing myself. I’m getting married so I can’t take any risks.”
