Nick Knowles questions Strictly final dance due to injuries

Nick Knowles Questions His Participation in Strictly Come Dancing Final Due to Injuries

In a surprising twist, Nick Knowles has raised concerns about his upcoming appearance in the grand finale of Strictly Come Dancing, just days after he expressed enthusiasm about returning. The 62-year-old DIY SOS host, along with his professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk, was eliminated earlier this month after facing off against Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu in a dramatic dance-off.

Despite declaring his intention to perform a special routine with Luba during the final, Nick has now revealed that his physical health may prevent him from taking the stage. He’s currently waiting to undergo procedures on his knee and shoulder, leading to uncertainty about his recovery timeline. In response to a fan’s inquiry on social media regarding his status for the finale, Nick expressed his doubts: “I’m not sure my injuries will allow. I have to wait for the knee operation until the bicep operation has healed so I can use crutches afterwards. So I don’t think recovery will be in time sadly.”

This development follows Nick’s earlier confirmation of his return for the finale, where he shared a light-hearted moment with Luba during an Instagram video. “It Takes Two the last time. Last duties on Strictly… You’ll come back for the final and we’ll do our special dance. Maybe with a sandwich,” he joked, to which Luba playfully responded.

Nick has conveyed heartfelt appreciation for the journey, praising Luba as “the best partner in the world” and thanking fans for their support and votes throughout the competition.

In a recent Instagram post after exiting the show, he expressed his bittersweet emotions: “Gutted but so grateful for the opportunity and to have the super talented Luba as my dance partner. Thank you everyone for the support.”

As fans eagerly await updates, the possibility looms that Nick and Luba’s cherished finale dance may not materialize, leaving many wondering about the future of their partnership on the dance floor.
