Lily is the daughter of former newsreader and Liberal candidate for Rosevears Jo Palmer.

“Christian Wilkins was not aware of his father’s positive diagnoses of the coronavirus until after tonight’s Dancing with the Stars episode,” the show’s producers said on social media last night.

“Although Christian does not believe he has been exposed, he along with this dance partner Lily Cornish have self-isolated and will be testing first thing in the morning.

“A number of precautions had already been put in place for Sunday’s show to minimise any potential exposure or spread of the virus, including promoting good hygiene practices backstage and in studio and filming without a studio audience.”
