And now, in a recorded message for spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two, Nick said he needs an MRI to assess his condition.

Appearing with his dance partner, he said: “So during our sort of first dress rehearsal today, or run through of the dance number on the stage, unfortunately I damaged my knee.

“It’s quite painful so the physios have decided I need to go for an MRI.”

His pro partner Luba Mushtuk added: “Yeah so unfortunately we will not be dancing tomorrow, but we really, really hope the knee will be better for next week.”

Nick, 62, stressed: “Even if we have to glitter up the crutches, I am determined to get back.”

It’s the TV star’s second injury in a month after we told how Nick had injured his shoulder and arm while changing a car tyre.

A spokesperson for Strictly said: “Unfortunately, Nick Knowles sustained an injury during rehearsals and as a result, will not dance this weekend.

“As per the rules of the competition, Nick and Luba will receive a bye through to next week when he is hopefully able to dance again. Everyone at Strictly Come Dancing wishes Nick a speedy recovery.”

Nick and Luba had been due to dance the Charleston to Rain on the Roof from Paddington 2.
