Nick Knowles looks glum as he arrives at Strictly after injury forced him to miss show

Strictly's Nick Knowles was seen looking very glum as he arrived on set after being forced to pull out of this week's live show.

The DIY SOS star, 62, can be seen alongside fiancée Katie Dadzie donning a shirt and tie with suspenders as she drives him to the set ahead of tonight’s live show (October 5).

The star will miss out on Movie Week, just a week after his future on the show was thrown into doubt due to a shoulder injury.

But during a dress rehearsal of his Charleston on Friday, Nick fell and injured his knee during a jump, leaving him on crutches and heading to hospital for an MRI scan.

Fiancée Katie looked equally glum as snappers caught a glimpse of the pair just hours after the shocking news was announced that he was missing the episode.

The TV favourite has been competing on the BBC dance show with pro dancer Luba Mushtuk. The news has been a huge disappointment to Paddington fans as the presenter was due to dance the Charleston to Rain on the Roof from Paddington 2.

A show spokesman commented: “Unfortunately, Nick Knowles sustained an injury during rehearsals and as a result, will not dance this weekend.

“As per the rules of the competition, Nick and Luba will receive a bye through to next week when he is hopefully able to dance again. Everyone at Strictly Come Dancing wishes Nick a speedy recovery.”

Appearing on spin-off series It Takes Two alongside partner Luba Mushtuk on Friday, just hours after hurting himself, he said: “During our first rehearsal, our dress rehearsal today on the stage.

“Unfortunately I damaged my knee and it's quite painful, so the physios have decided I need to go for a MRI.”

While Luba added: “Unfortunately we will not be dancing tomorrow but we really, really hope that the knee will be better for next week and we'll be back on the dancefloor”.

“Fingers crossed, we really hope that we'll be back and see you guys very soon.”

But looking on the bright side Nick quipped: “Even if we have to glitter up the crutches, I am determined to get back and try and dance for you next week.”

Strictly bosses are reportedly fearing that Nick could be forced to quit the competition for good.

A source told The Mirror: “The fact he is getting scans shows just how serious this is. There is only so much time they can give him to recover”.

“Nick is a popular guy and losing him so early in the competition would be a blow to the show's ratings too.

“It doesn't look great at the moment so everyone is just hoping the outlook is better after the weekend.”
