Nick Knowles jokes he will perform ‘one-arm lift’ on Strictly after bicep injury
The TV presenter is expected to perform an American smooth, which can incorporate lifts, during the competition on Saturday.
TV star Nick Knowles has joked that he will perform dance lifts with one arm during the next Strictly Come Dancing show as he remains “hopeful” he can continue in the competition – despite injuring his arm.
The DIY SOS presenter appeared on BBC spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two wearing a sling, as he explained how he suffered the “painful” injury on the way to a family party on Sunday 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,” he said.
“As I took the tyre off, I basically damaged my bicep and damaged my arm.”
Knowles thanked the two “lovely” policemen from Taplow who helped him get the tyre back on during the incident.
