Strictly Come Dancing star Nick Knowles will have to undergo two procedures following the injuries he sustained while on the BBC show - and it could jeopardise his wedding day

Nick Knowles has revealed that he needs to undergo two surgeries on his arm and leg following injuries that took place while he was on Strictly Come Dancing.

The The DIY SOS star, 62, became the third celebrity eliminated from the 20th anniversary series of the hit BBC One dance show on Sunday night. It comes as Nick returned to the dancing competition this weekend, having missed out on movie week following an injury to his knee.

The TV star appeared on Monday's episode of Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two following his show exit. While on the show, Nick's pro partner Luba Mushtuk broke down in tears as the duo watched an emotional montage of their best moments on the show. A tearful Luba, 34, emotionally said after the sweet video: "Yes", before composing herself.

"Thank you, thank you for being you and for being an incredible student. I loved every single moment, we'll still dance again." Elsewhere in the interview, Nick revealed that he will have to undergo two surgeries after sustaining painful injuries while on the BBC competition. The TV star said that once he had recovered he hoped to get back to rehearsals to prepare for his wedding.

He even shared that his professional partner Luba would be choreographing his first dance with fiancée Katie Dadzie. "I think it was the right result in the end and it means I can get the various bits falling off sorted. I'm having an operation on my arm this week and an operation on my knee in a couple or three weeks," he shared.

It comes after Nick had a five-word response over his show exit, saying: "It was the right result." He explained: "I had a week off and you can see actually everyone had progressed a lot in that week, I just didn't have time to be able to catch up and do well enough to stay in the competition.

"I think it was the right result in the end and it means I can now get the various bits of me that are falling off sorted out. Literally, I might have an operation on the arm this week and then another operation on the knee in a couple or three weeks' time. So I can get myself sorted."

During Sunday’s results show, Nick and his professional dance partner Luba faced the dreaded dance-off against former X Factor winner Shayne Ward and his dance partner Nancy Xu.

Shayne and Nancy performed their cha cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams while Nick and Luba danced their Charleston to Rain On The Roof from the Paddington 2 soundtrack.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke won the majority vote as they all chose to save Shayne and Nancy, with head judge Shirley Ballas agreeing with their decision.
