DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has shared an update with fans, revealing if he will be performing on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend with just days to go.

In a video posted on Instagram earlier this week, he revealed that he had suffered a “painful” injury on the way to a family party on Sunday (September 22) to celebrate his birthday.

“I went to get my 10-year-old son and bring him back to the party but we broke down on the motorway with a flat tyre, and it was raining and there were big lorries going past, so I tried to do it quickly and change the tyre quickly,” Knowles explained.

“As I took the tyre off, I basically damaged my bicep and damaged my arm.”

On Tuesday (September 24), Knowles 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.
