BBC Strictly Come Dancing pro thanks co-star and says 'you did more' in third exit of series
manchestereveningnews.co.ukNick Knowles battled to perform over the weekend but sadly, his Strictly Come Dancing journey has come to an end. The DIY SOS star was only cleared to dance just 24 hours before week four of the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night (October 12).
Nick was unable to take part in last weekend's movie-themed special due to injury. He injured his knee after falling during rehearsals but was cleared to dance during the latest live show by the medical and physio teams on Friday (October 11).
To help with matters, Nick, 62, and his professional dance partner, Luba Mushtuk, performed the routine they had planned for movie week, a Charleston to Rain On The Roof from the Paddington 2 soundtrack.
