Privacy NoticeStrictly Come Dancing star Nick Knowles has provided an update on his injuries after he was questioned on whether he’d be returning to the BBC show for one final dance. The 62-year-old didn’t have the easiest of journeys on the show, struggling with an arm injury in the second week after a mishap while changing a tyre. In the third week, unfortunately he was forced to pull out due to a knee injury. He was then voted out with his partner Luba Mushtuk after facing Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu in the dance-off, making him the third celebrity to leave the show. Last week, the DIY SOS star posted a picture from his hospital bed, telling fans he needed surgery for his knee.

This led to one fan questioning if Nick would be joining the final dance at the end of the series, as they asked: “Will you still be able to do the end of series dance in the final. Wouldn’t seem right you not being there.” However, according to Nick, it looks like his participation is unlikely. As per The Sun, the star responded: “I’m not sure my injuries will allow – I have to wait for the knee operation until the bicep operation has healed so I can use crutches afterwards. So I don’t think recovery will be in time sadly.” Nick’s knee injury occurred when he fell during a jump, leaving him on crutches and needing an MRI scan. Last week, the star took to social media to provide an update to his fans, explaining he was “ heading into hospital to have the first of my two operations.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

“They’re going to reattach my bicep, which was the first thing I managed to damage during my time on Strictly. Although I didn’t do it on Strictly, I did it when I changed a wheel on my car. Really unlucky accident.” Later on, he told fans his first op had gone well, saying: “All went well by all accounts so I have a reattached bicep now. Bit of physio for the next 3 months and all shall be right as rain and back to 100% I think so that’s one down. And one to go on the knee.” The competition is heating up on Strictly, which saw former footballer Paul Merson become the fourth celebrity to be booted off the show with his, professional partner Karen Hauer after shockingly facing JLS star JB Gill and his partner Amy Dowden in the dance off.
