Nick Knowles has been left out of the Strictly week four dances announcement – leaving fans worried over his future on the show.

The DIY SOS star, 62, recently suffered a knee injury, meaning he had to pull out of last weekend’s show. It came just days after he injured his shoulder whilst changing a car tyre.

If Nick is forced to miss this coming weekend’s show, it means he’ll be out of the competition.

On Wednesday morning, the Strictly Instagram page announced the couples’ dances for this weekend.

However, Nick and his pro partner Luba Mushtuk were missing from the list sparking fears among fans.

One person commented: “No Nick?!”

We will update with more news on Nick when we have it.

Another wrote: “Does that mean Nick isn’t dancing again, oh nooo.”

Someone else said: “Really hope @nickknowles can come back but a knee injury is tricky. He was someone I was really looking forward to seeing so it’s a shame he’s been beset by injuries!”

However, Strictly has since addressed Nick’s future on the series.

In the caption, the Strictly page said: “It’s Week Four, and we know you want more! Here are the routine reveals for this week.

“We will update with more news on Nick when we have it.”

Last weekend, Nick was forced to miss the show and watched from home instead. He shared a photo of himself with his knee in a brace as a pair of crutches were placed beside him.
