The Strictly Come Dancing star was back on the dancefloor with pro Luba Mushtuk. And a presenter couldn't help but show her concern for DIY SOS star Nick, who is a former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here contestant on ITV too, after he sustained an arm injury.

Nick ended up damaging his bicep while trying to change a car tyre, putting some doubt over his future on the show. Ahead of his time on the dance floor, presenter Claudia Winkleman couldn't help but show that she was concerned about his injury.

In between performances, she asked him: "Now I've got to ask, how is your arm?" Nick replied: "It's good thank you very much. Getting stronger every day and my mate texted me just before the show and said 'you may only have one arm but you've got two left feet so you should be alright.'"

Claudia said: "And well done you for the brilliant adaptation, we cannot wait to see your dance." Luba showed her appreciation for the comment as Nick mumbled how she had been "unbelievable" through the week, amid his injury.

The pair were only able to practice for 16 hours, Nick said. Elsewhere on the show, Pete Wicks performed a country love story-themed American smooth with his partner Jowita Przystal to I Had Some Help by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, landing a score of 22 and total of 39.
