Fans are fuming as Nick Knowles trades his dancing shoes for crutches after a knee injury forces him out of Strictly Come Dancing! Find out what happened!

In a shocking turn of events that’s shaken up this week’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing, the DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has had to bow out due to a knee injury sustained during rehearsals. The BBC shared the disappointing news on their Instagram page, where they expressed their regret and disappointment. The injury reportedly happened while Nick was warming up with his dance partner, Luba Mushtuk, ahead of their Charleston performance to the delightful tunes of 'Paddington 2'. Fans were eagerly anticipating their performance, especially as it was during the show’s celebratory 20th anniversary movie week.

Nick’s injury has stirred quite the uproar among fans and show bosses alike, as fears grow that this could be the last we see of him on the dancefloor. The 62-year-old star has been the talk of the town not just for his dancing but also for his surprising weight loss during his time on the show, which he openly shared with fans. But alas, now he’s set to swap tango for tending to his knee, as doctors have sent him for an MRI scan to assess the damage.

In the meantime, the Strictly team will have to pick up the pieces of this dramatic turn of events. Following the injury, several fans took to social media to express their frustration, feeling that Nick might have gotten a free pass out of the competition just as the stakes were getting higher. Is it surprising that while some fans are ready to toss their sequins in disgust, others are wishing him a speedy recovery?

While Nick’s absence leaves a void in the current season, it's a good reminder of the physical toll that dancing can take, regardless of age or experience. Let’s not forget how many contestants have faced injuries over previous seasons, including the likes of former winner Kevin Clifton, who had his fair share of close calls. But hey, at least Nick's not alone in the Strictly Injured Club!
