OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles is still unsure whether he can perform on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ this Saturday (28.09.24) after injuring his shoulder and arm – but he will find out on Thursday afternoon.
The ‘DIY SOS’ presenter was changing a tyre when he hurt his shoulder and arm, but he has been rehearsing with his professional partner Luba Mushtuk this week, to show producers he is still able to dance the American Smooth on Saturday night.
The 62-year-old star admitted his shoulder is “repairing very well”, and following a successful training session on Wednesday, he revealed a decision will be made on Thursday afternoon (26.09.24) about his potential weekend performance.
Speaking in a video posted to his X account on Wednesday night (25.09.24), he said: “So a bit of an update for you. I’ve just got out of soaking in the bath after a day’s training, which went very, very well.
“The shoulder is repairing very well. I saw a great physio today as well that’s helped enormously.
“So, I get another day’s training tomorrow.
“The decision will be made tomorrow afternoon, whether I can actually compete on Saturday. I’m doing my level best to get there – keeping my fingers crossed. So, hopefully see you Saturday.”
Nick is said to have been “pleading” with show bosses to let him perform on the programme this weekend.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Nick is desperate to carry on and is insisting he is fine to perform but the BBC are naturally wary.
“If Nick continues and does more damage to himself in the long run it puts them in a tricky position.
“His health comes first but Nick is pleading with them to continue.”
However, the pair won’t have much time to perfect their routine if they are cleared to perform.
A source said: “Nick needs to learn a whole routine, he has barely any time at all.
“If he is cleared he will need to learn quickly. Luba is an amazing teacher and she is confident they can do it. But, ultimately, it might get to a point that the BBC just put their foot down.”
Following his injury, Nick has been spotted with his arm in a sling.

OHMYGOSSIP — John Barrowman quit ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ after throwing up his lunch on his way to the first challenge.
The 57-year-old TV star flew to New Zealand to take part in the gruelling challenge show alongside famous faces including Rachel Johnson and Bianca Gascoigne but he walked away from the series after filming started on the first episode – and now it’s been revealed his exit came after he got sick during a two-hour car journey.
John admitted he wasn’t happy with the vegetarian lunch and it soon came back up again. He told The Sun newspaper: “I’m not a vegan or a vegetarian, but they made everybody eat vile tofu.
“I would never eat tofu in my life, but you’re so hungry, you just eat it … Then it was projectile vomit everywhere and the tofu came up. I thought, ‘I’m not going to make myself ill or hurt myself in order to try to prove something that I don’t need to prove’. ”
He added of his decision to leave the show: It was seriously me going: ‘I am completely comfortable with who I am. I’m completely a happy person. We’ve all got our issues and problems, but I’ve made a mistake’.”
A source previously told the publication John’s departure was one of the fastest in the show’s history. The insider said: “John’s exit from ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ will go down in the show’s history as the fastest ever.
“They’d all got kitted up in their uniforms and had started filming in New Zealand when he chose to walk out.
“It is an incredibly mentally and physically challenging television show and the task they were facing was difficult. Most of the stars were shocked when after 30 minutes John said he did not want to take part any longer.”
Other celebrities taking part in the show include former ‘Love Island’ contestant Ovie Soko, ‘TOWIE’ regular Pete Wicks, ‘Geordie Shore’ star Marnie Simpson and gymnast Ellie Downie.

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Dowden has thanked her supporters after her epic comeback to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 34-year-old professional dancer and her celebrity partner JB Gill found themselves at the top of the leaderboard on Saturday night (21.09.24), after returning to the show following her battle with breast cancer, and she has thanked fans for their support and praised the JLS star, 37, after they scored an impressive 31 points from the judges in the first week.
She gushed on Instagram alongside a picture from their Waltz to ‘When I Need You’ by Leo Sayer: “Well last night was a pure dream! What a show. Absolutely loved watching and supporting everyone! Congratulations to all couples! To my superstar @jbgill , you shone and lead me around the floor so beautifully! Thank you! Thank you for working so hard and trusting me! Can’t wait to get back in the training room tomorrow! Thank you so much for all the support! (sic)”
Amy recently shared how being back on ‘Strictly’ is a “celebration” after she was forced to take a break from the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition after being diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023.
In an interview with Closer magazine, she said: “It’s been such a celebration. It’s so lush. I feel like I’m home. We’ve worked so hard over the last few weeks on spectacular group numbers, I’m just so excited for the 20th year to be hitting your screens.”
Amy – who was supported during her battle by her friends and family and especially her husband Ben Jones – is extremely proud to be back as there were times during her cancer treatment where she never believed she would be able to dance again.
She said: “It’s so surreal. I can’t believe the place I was in this time last year to what I am now. There were so many times when I didn’t think it was going to be possible. I’m just really proud of myself. I hope it gives others going through treatment hope and courage.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Hart almost fell down a flight of stairs as she walked down the aisle to marry her fiance Sam Rason in Spain.
The ‘Love Island’ star tied the knot with Sam earlier this month in a ceremony which was held in an outdoor amphitheatre at the Casa de la Era farm near at Malaga and Amy had to navigate some tricky steps in a floor-length dress and high-heeled shoes as she was escorted to the altar by her dad Ian – and they both nearly tumbled down.
Amy, 32, told OK! magazine: “I didn’t get emotional walking down the aisle because although I knew I’d have to walk down the amphitheatre steps, I realised that in that dress and in heels, it wouldn’t be easy.
“They’re not even, and I started laughing at one point because there was one really massive one and my dad said to me, ‘Oh, we both nearly went there’, so I was really concentrating on where I was walking!”
Amy made it down the aisle to the sounds of ‘You’re Already There’ by Alison Jiear and was able to exchange vows with Sam without incident.
She wore a white lace gown for her big day and admitted she chose it because it had a Spanish feel to it.
The TV star explained: “I used to do pageants and now I get to go on red carpets, so everything I tried on at first felt too pageant-ey or like it should be on a red carpet.
“Then the manager of The Wedding Club asked me if I wanted to try it on, and even in the cubicle I wasn’t sure. But when I walked out and saw it in the mirror, and then they put the veil on, I knew straight away it was the dress for me.
“It looked very Spanish, very ‘Mob Wives’, very dramatic and the craftsmanship was just incredible. It was perfect for me.”
The couple first met in 2021 and welcomed a son named Stanley last year before getting engaged. Sam staged an elaborate surprise proposal at a theatre and Amy later admitted she had no idea he was planning to get down on one knee.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: “And he said …hey, whatcha doin’ the rest of your life?’ Well and truly the biggest surprise ever We are so happy … ”
Amy later admitted she was “too stunned to speak” so ended up in tears. She wrote: “The woman was so too stunned to speak so she nervously laughed and cried a bit.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris McCausland’s 10-year-old daughter Sophie is worried he’ll fall off stage and “break a leg” on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 46-year-old comedian is among the stars competing in the new series of the BBC talent show and he’s become the first blind contestant to take part – but he’s confessed it’s a huge challenge and his little girl is worried he’ll come away with a nasty injury.
In a column for the Telegraph newspaper, he wrote: “Have I mentioned that I was terrified?
“I mean, how can I possibly have confidence in my ability to do something when I can’t see the entirely visual thing that I’m being asked to do?
“On top of that, stick it on live TV where failures are there for everybody to see and where the chance of a generous edit is absolute zero, and what could possibly go wrong?”
Chris added of his daughter’s reaction to his involvement: “I showed my 10-year-old daughter a clip of the show and asked her if I should do it. ‘No, Daddy,’ she said. ‘You’ll fall off the stage and break your leg.’
“She’s a joker at heart, but she’s got a point. Not quite the ringing endorsement other celebrities get. But I’ve checked and there is no stage so the joke’s on her …”
Chris is dancing with partner Dianne Buswell, who has revealed she uses a different technique to help him master the moves on the dancefloor.
During this weekend’s (21-22.09.24) show, she explained: “I can’t show him what something needs to look like.
“I’ve found Chris places his hand on my body and feels how my arms and my legs are moving and then he instantly gets an idea of what he should be doing.”
Chris added: “She is really patient and bringing the best out of me”.
The pair landed in fourth place on the leaderboard after their first dance this weekend scoring 23 points with their Cha Cha to ‘Twist and Shout’ by The Beatles.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Brook is “not sure” about having kids with Jeremy Parisi.
The 44-year-old model-turned-TV star married her longtime partner in Italy in 2022 but she’s now admitted they still aren’t ready to start a family yet because she wants to focus on work and finding a new place to live before they think about having children.
Kelly told OK! magazine: “We have our little fur baby dog, Teddy, but I’m not sure about having children yet. At the moment we are focused on work and where we want to live in the world.
“It’s very hard to think about children when you don’t know where you might be living. We need to be more settled before we think about children.”
Kelly went on to insist her mum taught her not to rush into having children after she became a mum herself at 17.
The telly star explained: “I think my drive comes from just wanting to explore the world and be independent financially. It comes from my mum teaching me not to rush into having kids because she was 17 when she had me, so she made me feel that life was there for the taking.”
Kelly and Jeremy have been spending a lot of time in Italy in recent years and have even been working on their own reality show featuring the couple attempting to harvest olives at his family’s estate in Arpino and she recently admitted they are hoping to spend more time in the region in future.
In a post on Instagram, the former ‘Big Breakfast’ presenter wrote: “Arpino is where we were married and is definitely a place we will be spending more time in the future and I’m looking forward to learning more about the business of olive oil farming.”
Kelly and Jeremy married in July 2022 in the Italian town of Civitavecchia with the extravagant ceremony reported to have cost around £500,000. However, their big day was almost ruined by a rainstorm which forced them to move the outdoor reception under cover.
Speaking on Vicky Pattison’s ‘The Secret To’ podcast, Kelly explained: “It was like biblical rain, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. It had not rained in that region for eight months and I don’t think it has since. I look completely stressed and with straggly hair.
“Jeremy watches the wedding video all the time but I can’t face it yet … We were winging it the whole way. It made it so much fun. And it gave it the essence and authenticity of it being Italian and that is what I really wanted. You can’t have the rainbow without the rain.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles is facing an uncertain future on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ after injuring his shoulder and arm in a freak accident while changing a tyre.
The 62-year-old TV presenter is among the stars competing in the new series of the BBC talent show, but his next performance is now in doubt after he hurt himself while fixing his car at the side of the road after breaking down during a trip with his young son.
Nick shared a video on Instagram which showed him with his arm in a sling and he explained what happened, saying: “Good morning. I thought I’d give a little update. As you can see my arm is in a sling and that’s because at the weekend 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 I possibly could to make sure we were safe.
“And in the process of hurrying to get the wheel off as quickly as I possibly could, because there was a big wheel on my big car, I managed to damage my shoulder and arm a little bit.
“I’m not sure how or what but it’s been quite painful although a little better this morning.”
Nick went on to reveal he was on his way to a clinic in London for a scan before heading to dance training and he feels confident he will be given the green light to perform next weekend.
He added: “So I’m on my way up to London to Harley Street to get a scan done and to get some top medical advice. But I am heading to training afterwards so I can learn the steps of my next dance, and I’ll see you on [spin-off show] ‘It Takes Two’ a bit later today.
“Where hopefully I’ll have more information and be able to update you but I’ll keep you posted during the course of the day anyway. Not ideal but I’m convinced [it’s] not something that’s going to stop me dancing this weekend.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Pasha Kovalev was addicted to iPhones and used to splash the cash on getting the latest model every time one came out.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star has admitted he has a weakness for new technology and used to go all out to make sure he had the latest device in his pocket no matter how much it cost.
He told The Sunday Times newspaper: “I used to be obsessed with buying the latest iPhone. Whenever a new model came out I needed to have it. I look back and wonder what I was thinking.”
However, Pasha has managed to ditch the habit and now only buys refurbished phones. He added: “Now I buy refurbished phones, which still have the same photographic and storage capabilities, so I don’t need to break the bank to support my phone addiction.”
He went on to talk about some of his biggest spending extravagances – revealing he used to spend thousands treating his friends to luxury skiing holidays.
Pasha said: “I love travel, so on a few occasions I’ve spent a lot on Christmas skiing holidays to Aspen or Whistler or somewhere in France or Switzerland.
“The most I’ve spent on a single trip I went full out and rented a huge house for everyone — the final bill came to about £20,000.
“The house, drinks, food, everything. I did that for a number of years, but my friends felt a little uncomfortable, so they started to chip in.”
He added of his main expenses: “Because of my background [growing up in the Soviet Union] I made a conscious decision to be happy to spoil myself on food, so I always buy organic. I’m not talking splashing out on a bucket of caviar and expensive vodka, but I never hold back on food.”
