Strictly fans are left baffled as Nick Knowles is not included in list of upcoming dances amid fears he won't return to the show amid his injury

As a seasoned Strictly Come Dancing enthusiast with years of viewing under my belt, I must say, this year’s competition has been nothing short of dramatic. The stories behind each contestant are as captivating as their dance routines, and Nick and Luba’s journey is no exception.


Fans of Strictly Come Dancing are puzzled about whether Nick Knowles will rejoin the program due to his current injury.

On Saturday during Movie Week, the DIY SOS star, aged 62, had to skip the event because of an issue with his shoulder. Later, while practicing for the show, he suffered a knee injury due to a fall.

Now, he won’t be featured in the playlist for this week’s songs and performances, which is usually unveiled a day prior to the upcoming live episode on Wednesdays.

After disclosing information about his knee injury, which left him on crutches and necessitated his withdrawal from the show on Saturday, it followed.

The Instagram account for the show noted that they would share additional information about Nick as soon as they have it.

The BBC have been contacted by TopMob for comment.

On the spin-off show “It Takes Two” with dance partner Luba Mushtuk, he made an appearance on a Friday, mere hours after injuring himself. He mentioned during their initial practice session or the final run-through on the stage that day: “During our first rehearsal, our dress rehearsal today.

Due to an injury to my knee that causes me considerable pain, the physiotherapists have determined it necessary for me to undergo an MRI scan.

Luba mentioned: ‘I’m sorry, but we won’t be able to dance tomorrow. However, we’re very much hoping that our knee will improve in the coming days so we can hit the dance floor again next week.’

‘Fingers crossed, we really hope that we’ll be back and see you guys very soon.’

However, with a positive outlook, Nick joked: ‘If we need to make our canes sparkle, I am resolute that I’ll be dancing for you again in a week!’

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a kind of examination employing powerful magnetic forces and radio frequencies to generate precise pictures of a person’s internal structures.

After strict viewers expressed their disappointment, it became clear that Nick received an exemption for next week’s performance, which they deemed as unjust.

As a dedicated follower, I was taken aback when BBC authorities confirmed that, in accordance with the show’s regulations, Nick and Luba would automatically advance to the following week without having to face elimination. This decision sparked widespread frustration among fans, who were dismayed at the prospect of another couple being voted off during Sunday’s episode.

“If someone is unable to dance because of an injury, it would be appropriate for them to stop participating.

It seems that #NickKnowles won’t be dancing on this weekend’s #Strictly. As usual with the rules, they will receive a pass for the following Saturday. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of these rules; if you miss a week, you should be eliminated from the show altogether.

If one player can’t return, it means three of us would be in the final, considering a potential loss this week due to an injury-related free pass. Since it’s early in the season, let’s keep everyone around. We never know when more injuries might occur.

Simultaneously, some spectators urged Olympic swimmer Tom Dean, whose elimination was deemed “strange” and “unfair,” to come back on the show instead of Nick.

Saying: ‘Bring back Tom!’: ‘Bring back Tom then to take his place after he was disgracefully and wrongly evicted last week!’: ‘Maybe we should get @tomdean00 back to do another week’.

Later on, Nick finally spoke up and posted on social media, sharing an image of the BBC’s announcement along with the caption: ‘I am incredibly disappointed and heartbroken.’

The BBC announced that Nick Knowles won’t appear next week because of an injury; they hope he recovers soon. However, they will still eliminate a celebrity this weekend. It seems unfair if someone gets a pass for next week, they should give all celebrities another chance too.

According to another source, The Sun reports that Nick will not participate in Strictly Come Dancing tonight due to a knee injury. During a rehearsal with his dance partner, Luba Mushtuk, he attempted a leap and ended up landing incorrectly.

‘Nick suffered an injury to his knee, so he must navigate with crutches at the moment. This setback is really tough on him, but he has the backing of the Strictly crew.’

They’re arranging scans for him and sparing no effort to ensure his health. Despite injuring his arm and shoulder, Nick battled hard to participate in the initial live performance and performed admirably. (Informal)

‘This new injury has been a real blow and he is incredibly upset about it.’

On numerous occasions, celebrities on Strictly Come Dancing have faced severe injuries, just as Zara McDermott did last year when she sustained a painful leg fracture. However, she chose to persevere and dance regardless.

Last week, Nick found himself nervously waiting for news about his residence, having been hurt during a tire change incident when his vehicle malfunctioned en route to his 62nd birthday celebration.

En route to the studios, Nick announced that today is the day of the show. He’s spent the last two days mastering the dance routine as best he can.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, I assure you that I’ll pour my heart and soul into tonight’s performance, striving for excellence every step of the way. My extraordinary dance partner, Luba Mushtuk, has truly woven enchantment through her impeccable choreography, creating something truly magnificent for us to showcase.

‘What remains is for me to execute it. This week has been challenging, but I’m really looking forward to dancing tonight. By the way, my shoulder is getting stronger day by day.’

Hey there, fellow enthusiasts! I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your outpouring of support and affection. I find myself in a precarious position this week, having landed in the bottom four due to last week’s performance. Tonight, I need to give it my all on the dance floor to avoid any potential elimination. So, if you haven’t already, please don’t forget to cast your vote for me and Luba! Let’s keep this journey going together! 💃🏼💖 #VoteForUs

Nick got approval from the producers of the show, bolstered by his widespread audience appeal, and came back to dance during week two where he earned a score of 21 out of 40 points.

According to a source, Nick and Luba have a strong belief that the show should continue, and they were overjoyed when permission was granted. In fact, they plan to attempt an impressive lift.
