Strictly Come Dancing is making its return to BBC One this weekend, with the couples gearing up to tackle some challenging dances in Latin and Ballroom. After the success of Movie Week, the pressure is on for the contestants to outdo themselves and achieve even higher scores. The BBC released a list of songs and dances for the upcoming show, but one familiar face was notably absent. Nick Knowles, who missed out on Movie Week due to an injury, has yet to be included in the lineup for this week. The broadcaster stated that they will provide updates on Nick’s situation when available.
During last week’s show, hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman sent their well wishes to Nick as he was unable to participate. A spokesperson for Strictly Come Dancing announced that Nick sustained an injury during rehearsals, leading to his absence from the competition. According to the rules, Nick and his partner Luba will receive a pass to the next week in hopes that he will be able to dance again. The entire Strictly team is hoping for Nick’s speedy recovery, as he was seen recuperating at home while watching the previous episode.
As for the upcoming performances, here is a rundown of the songs and dances the couples will be taking on:
– Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe: Viennese Waltz
– Punam Krishan and Gorka Márquez: Jive
– Sam Quek MBE and Nikita Kuzmin: Samba
– Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola: Foxtrot
– Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec: Charleston
– Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell: Salsa
– Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas: Salsa
– JB Gill and Amy Dowden: Rumba
– Paul Merson and Karen Hauer: Quickstep
– Pete Wicks and Jowitza Przystal: Quickstep
– Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu: Cha Cha
– Wynne Evans and Katya Jones: Tango
Nick Knowles recently broke his silence on social media, expressing his disappointment at not being able to join his fellow contestants on the dance floor. Despite being sidelined, he continues to support them from home. Fans were left concerned when Nick did not provide any updates on his training for the upcoming week. However, head judge Shirley Ballas hinted on Virgin Radio UK that Nick might be on the road to recovery and could potentially make a comeback for the next show.
With anticipation building up for the next episode of Strictly Come Dancing, viewers can tune in to BBC One on Saturday at 6.20pm to see how the remaining couples fare on the dance floor.
