Nick Knowles is still hoping to perform this weekend after an injury has left his Strictly Come Dancing in doubt. The DIY SOS star has been seen with his arm in a sling after being left in pain following an incident by the side of a motorway.

Nick was celebrating his 62nd birthday a day late on Sunday (September 22) after opening the first live show of the BBC One dance contest on his actual birthday on Saturday night (September 21) alongside his dance partner Luba.

But as he picked up his young son to take him to the celebrations, Nick's car broke down over the weekend at the side of a motorway.

With his 10-year-old in the car, Nick endeavoured to change the tyre as quickly as possible for both of their safety, however, he ended up picking up a niggle in his shoulder.
