Nick Knowles has issued a tentative update on his Strictly future after an arm injury forced him to visit hospital earlier in the week.
Yesterday, Knowles said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Arm update! Today I have seen Dr’s and Physio’s who have been wonderful. I’ve had scans (I’ll spare you the grim details) and although it’s feeling a bit better today, the issue is, we don’t know if I can actually use my arm to dance.
"So tomorrow, I’m going to rehearsals with Luba and the physio to see just what my arm can do. Then the medics will make a call on if they think I can continue dancing. I am still really hopeful that I’ll be able to dance this weekend. So fingers crossed".
But how did it go? Well...
Good morning - I’m on my way to see what my dancing capabilities are…

Just an hour ago, he posted: "Good morning - I’m on my way to see what my dancing capabilities are… Wish me luck".
DIY SOS star Nick Knowles was reportedly ‘incredibly upset’ after the injury put his future on Strictly Come Dancing in doubt.
The 62-year-old was first seen wearing a sling over his arm while in London on Monday after hurting his arm while changing a car tyre yesterday.
Despite only performing once, Knowles has already proven a huge hit with Strictly fans.

On Saturday, fans were treated to Nick Knowles getting a birthday cake to the face almost immediately, but arguably the biggest star of the show was Chris McCausland.
McCausland made history as the first-ever blind contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
And he stood out above all else.
One viewer said: "100% more co-ordination than me. Legend".

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
