Simon Rimmer has said his leg is “killing” him after he fell on Strictly Come Dancing.
The Sunday Brunch star slipped over during the dance-off on Sunday night’s results show but managed to escape elimination, with Brian Conley getting the chop.
He later posted a message on Twitter saying he was feeling a bit sore after the mishap.
“Thank you for all the lovely messages for @karen_hauer and me @bbcstrictly – still in it!” he wrote.
“My leg is killing me after my slip in dance off.”

“Quad strapping post @bbcstrictly fall – OW!!!” he said.
He said on Instagram that it was “ice and compression time”.
Strictly Come Dancing star Aston Merrygold confused outgoing star Brian Conley with actor Bradley Walsh as he told how much he would miss his friend.

The pair filmed a light-hearted video clip together after this weekend’s show, in which Brian and partner Amy Dowden were given the boot from the BBC One contest.

Competition front runner Aston explained: “I love this man, Brian you are a legend. My favourite.
“He taught me splits moonwalk. I already miss you. Go on Bradley Walsh. I mean…”
The pair, who have shared their “bromance” throughout the show via social media posts including them singing together, broke down in giggles.
The mix-up was a timely one, coinciding with the announcement of him as the next Doctor Who companion, who will make his debut on the much-loved sci-fi series alongside new Time Lord, Jodie Whittaker.
Television entertainer Brian, 56, left the show with a comical bang, cracking quips about the quality of the Strictly studio toilets and labelling judge Darcey Bussell as the “horny one”.

According to The Sun newspaper, he branded the venue a [bleeping] hole”, and added: “They only spend £25 on the toilet.”
His comments, though meant as a joke, were not broadcast on Sunday night’s episode.
A source from the show said: “Brian was clearly joking and he has a really cheeky sense of humour which everyone in the studio saw. All the judges were crying with laughter.”
The programme has been going from strength to strength this series, drawing in more viewers every week.
Brian’s final performance on Sunday was watched by an average audience of 9.1 million viewers, with a peak of 9.7 million viewers.
