Strictly ‘s first dance-off victim has been leaked online – and it’s safe to say that fans are not happy one bit.

While many wowed on the dancefloor this week others weren’t so impressive, with Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones landing at the bottom of the leaderboard. Despite Anton Du Beke hailing this week’s Jive as ‘1,000 times better’ than their Tango, the pair scored just 30 out of a possible 80 for their combined dances. Former footballer Paul Merson followed close behind with partner Karen Hauer at 32.

Nick revealed on Instagram that he had injured himself while changing a tyre on his car at the weekend. He recorded a video wearing a makeshift sling, made from a blanket, and said: “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” and promised fans to keep them updated “throughout the course of the day”.

A source said last week: “Nick and Luba’s attitude [was] very much that the show must go on, and they were thrilled when he was given the go ahead. They are even going to attempt a lift. Luba has told Nick that the move she was planning for the routine can be made safe for him – so as it stands they are still going to perform that. Nick is fully on board because the last thing he wants is the sympathy vote.

“Now that [he was] told he [could] perform this week he [was] determined to come out all guns blazing and give the routine everything he had. He and Luba were rehearsing at Elstree to help them to make up the time they had lost this week.”

The source added: “Nick was really irritated to have injured himself so soon in the competition – especially doing something he could have avoided. It was a huge sigh of relief for him when the doctors said he could dance.”
