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.

On Tuesday, Knowles, 62, said in a social media post that medical staff would “make a call on if they think I can continue dancing” and 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.
