Nick Knowles' future on Strictly Come Dancing is uncertain after the BBC DIY celebrity 'damaged' his arm.

The 62-year-old presenter shared the update on Instagram while driving with his arm in a sling. He informed his followers about a mishap that occurred while he was changing a tyre, saying: "Good morning, here's a little update from me at the start of week two @bbcstrictly rehearsals."

"As you can see my arm is in a sling and that's because my car broke down at the side of the motorway. I had my little boy in the car, so I wanted to change the tyre as quickly as possible. In the process of hurrying to get the wheel off, I managed to damage my shoulder and arm a little. I'm not sure how, but it's been quite painful."

He also confirmed he would see viewers on It Takes Two "later today".
