Nick Knowles recently provided an update on his status for the popular show, Strictly Come Dancing, after sustaining an injury. The 62-year-old DIY SOS star was unable to participate in last week's live show, where we saw Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones eliminated from the competition. Nick was seen using crutches after injuring his knee and expressed disappointment at not being able to perform alongside his fellow contestants.
At this point, it is still uncertain whether Nick will be able to return to the ballroom this week with contestants such as Chris McCausland and Dr. Punam Krishan. However, he has recently shared an update on his condition during an appearance on It Takes Two, where he was joined by his professional dance partner, Luba Mushtuk. Nick mentioned that they had a great week preparing for their dance and were in the middle of camera rehearsals when the injury occurred.
Nick also took the opportunity to invite fans to join Metro's Strictly community on WhatsApp to stay updated with all the latest news and rumors from the show. He then went on to explain how the injury happened, stating that he was running late and ended up jumping into position, causing his knee to give out. He described it as a bit of a collapse and admitted that his knee was not in good condition.
Luba chimed in, saying that despite the injury, their dance was amazing. Nick continued by saying that each day his knee has been getting a little better. He also mentioned getting a scan on Friday, which looked bad, but improved over the weekend. On Monday, he had a stronger knee and was able to see the physios, who cleared him to train and potentially dance on the show's upcoming episode.
Nick made it clear that even if he is able to train and dance tomorrow, it doesn't necessarily mean he's fully recovered. Luba added that today was a big day as they received clearance to rehearse for tomorrow's show. She also mentioned taking things step by step and adjusting their performance according to Nick's comfort level.
Movie Week was a theme they missed out on last weekend, and the couple is hoping to bring their performance to the dancefloor this Saturday. Nick expressed his desire to perform well enough to be judged solely on their dance and not the other factors, such as his injury. He also acknowledged that everyone has their own challenges to overcome, such as Chris who has been doing amazing despite his own struggles.
Nick also mentioned that he is excited to potentially perform a Paddington song for his ten-year-old son, who has been supporting him throughout his Strictly journey. He recalled feeling weird watching the show from home last weekend, dressed in a suit instead of performing on stage. He also mentioned how strange it was to see Luba on set without him, but he remains hopeful and is keeping his fingers crossed for a comeback.
