It is the second injury to blight Nick on Strictly after he injured his shoulder and arm while changing a car tyre.
Nick broke his silence on the news, firstly taking to X to say: “I’m absolutely gutted and feeling very very sad.”
He then sent a video message to It Takes Two viewers, as he explained exactly what happened.
