The next big news in the world of Strictly Come Dancing is that Nick Knowles has been given the go-ahead to continue competing on the show. The 62-year-old DIY SOS star has been wowing audiences with his performances alongside his professional dance partner, Luba Mushtuk. However, last week he had to miss out on the live show due to a knee injury.
Fans were worried about whether Nick would be able to recover in time for this week's show, but the BBC has now confirmed that he has been cleared by the medical and physio teams and will be dancing in the upcoming episode. A spokesperson for the BBC expressed their delight at this news and assured fans that Nick and Luba will be performing as planned.

Nick himself appeared on the Strictly spin-off series, It Takes Two, earlier this week to give an update on his injury. He explained that during camera rehearsals, he jumped to a position and ended up injuring his knee. However, with the help of the physio team, his knee has been steadily improving and he has been given the green light to dance on Saturday's live show.
Despite having to take some time out of training this week, Nick and Luba will still be performing their planned dance for Movies Week - a Charleston to the song "Rain On The Roof" from Paddington 2. Host Fleur East shared the news on tonight's episode of It Takes Two, and Luba expressed her excitement at being able to rehearse again.
Nick also shared that they will be taking it easy and seeing how his knee feels during tomorrow's rehearsal, and they will adjust their routine accordingly. He also mentioned that he was "getting sick and tired" of his injuries, having previously injured his arm and been put in a sling.
But despite the setbacks, Nick and Luba are determined to put on a great performance for their fans. So make sure to tune in to Saturday's episode of Strictly Come Dancing at 6:20pm on BBC One to see them in action!
