Strictly Come Dancing is back on BBC One this weekend with the couples taking on some of the trickiest dances in Latin and Ballroom. Following the success of Movie Week, they will have to push themselves even harder to top their previous scores.

Ahead of the live show, the BBC revealed a list of songs and dances but one contestant was missing from the lineup. Nick Knowles, who sat out of Movie Week following an injury, has still not made the list yet.

The broadcaster simply said: "We will update with more news on Nick when we have it." Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman wished Nick well in last week's show as he was forced to pull out.

A Strictly spokesperson had said at the time: "Unfortunately, Nick Knowles sustained an injury during rehearsals and as a result, will not dance this weekend. As per the rules of the competition, Nick and Luba will receive a bye through to next week when he is hopefully able to dance again.

"Everyone at Strictly Come Dancing wishes Nick a speedy recovery." He was seen resting his injured knee as he watched the Movie Week show from home.

Nick had said on Instagram: "Gutted not to be out there with everyone tonight on the @bbcstrictly dance floor, but still suited up and cheering them on from the sofa."

He has not yet posted any content regarding his training for this week, which left fans worried.

Head judge Shirley Ballas offered an update on Virgin Radio UK, saying: "Apparently, he is possibly on the mend.

"We are hoping that by the weekend he will be back because he is an asset to the show."
