‘It got worse and worse’ says Nick Knowles as he shows off painful injury on It Takes Two as Strictly future up in air
NICK Knowles joined Strictly’s It Takes Two tonight as his future on the BBC dance competition hangs by a thread.
The Strictly contestant injured his arm on Sunday while changing a tyre on his car.
The Sun today revealed the DIY SOS host star will learn his fate in a meeting with bosses on Tuesday.
He appeared tonight on It Takes Two with pro partner Luba Mushtuk.
Nick, 62, explained: “It was my birthday.
“I had a big family birthday, I went to get my ten year old son to bring him back to the party, but we broke down on the motorway with a flat tyre.
“And it was raining and there were big lorries going past, so I tried to do it quickly and change the tyre, quickly, and as I took the tyre off, I basically damaged by bicep and damged my arm.
“I just want to say thank you to the two policemen from Taplow who turned up and helped me get the tyre back on.”
Speaking about the pain, Nick said: “It got worse and worse and worse, I actually missed my party.”
He added: “I’m hopeful (I’ll dance) I’ll find out more tomorrow.
“But I’m fully expecting to go into training and I’m hoping I’ll be dancing on Saturday.”
