Nick Knowles has had a troubling couple of weeks on Strictly Come Dancing after recently suffering a knee injury.
The injury forced him out of last Saturday’s live show and is throwing doubt on his performance this weekend.
His knee injury came just days after he damaged his shoulder whilst changing a car tyre. Now, it’s unclear if Nick will be able to dance on tomorrow night’s show.
According to reports, a decision will be made on Nick‘s future on the show today (October 11).

A source has told the Mirror: “The plan is to rehearse today and Friday and then a final decision will be made about Saturday evening. He is going to try and do the routine he’d already learned for Movie Week.
“It’s unfortunate it’s a Charleston because it’s very hard to do without lots of knee action, but there is no alternative. Everyone has their fingers crossed for him.”
ED! has contacted reps for Nick and Strictly for comment.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Nick updated his followers on his condition.
He said: “I am behind the scenes at It Takes Two and the good news is that the physios have cleared me to train tomorrow.
“That’s not an all clear for Saturday yet, so I have to see how I can get on tomorrow and then a decision will be made on Friday.”
During his It Takes Two appearance, Nick said: “Each day it gets a little bit better. On Friday it looked pretty bad to be honest. It felt bad. Saturday, not so good but I had a scan and we decided that after a look at that we would wait until Monday and. Monday, a little bit stronger.
