Strictly Come Dancing contestant Nick Knowles has announced he has been given clearance to perform on the show this weekend following an injury which had thrown his dancing ability into doubt.
The TV presenter said in a social media post on Tuesday that medical staff would “make a call on if they think I can continue dancing”.
He added that he had seen doctors and physios following the injury to his arm and shoulder, which he obtained while changing a flat tyre on the way to a family party at the weekend.

In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, he said: “So just an update because, look how excited my dance partner is, because we have been given clearance to dance on Saturday.
“It’s been an interesting couple of days, full of scans and physios and people helping me.
“Everyone’s been amazing, thank you for all of your messages of support.”
Knowles and his dance partner Luba Mushtuk said that they would be dancing the American smooth to Parklife by Blur on Saturday.
On Monday he told the BBC Two spin-off show It Takes Two that his injury is “painful”, but that he was “hopeful” of dancing again with Mushtuk after their jive to We Built This City by Starship during the first live show.
