But in a video posted on Instagram yesterday, he revealed that he had suffered a “painful” injury on the way to a family party on Sunday (September 22) to celebrate his birthday. A post shared by Nick Knowles (@nickknowles) “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,” Knowles explained.
“As I took the tyre off, I basically damaged my bicep and damaged my arm.” Co-host of the BBC spin-off show Janette Manrara said “at this stage we don’t really know if you’re going to be able to dance on Saturday”, to which Knowles said he is “hopeful”. He added: “I’ll find out more tomorrow but I’m fully expecting to go into training, and I’m really hopeful that I’ll be dancing on Saturday.
” Knowles is expected to perform an American smooth which can incorporate lifts, to Blur’s Parklife during the next show. On approaching training with the injury, professional dancer Mushtuk shared: “We still have a perfect position on our right arm. “We are going to do perfect footwork in the foxtrot.
We might even do the lift on that arm...
I will just work around it. I will make it wor.
