Nick is being assessed by a doctor before meeting with BBC bosses about whether he’s fit to compete with partner Luba Mushtuck on Saturday.

A source said the TV presenter is upset over the prospect of not being able to perform in the live shows and concerned about being forced to pull out which would be his ‘worst nightmare.’
A source told The Sun: "It may be possible that he could just miss this weekend and return during the following show but it all hangs on whether the BBC will allow him to do it.
"Nick knows that he needs to give himself time to recover and that means he won’t be able to train properly with Luba.
"Having to pull out is Nick’s worst nightmare and he’s incredibly upset."

Strictly Come Dancing
On Saturday, fans were treated to Nick Knowles getting a birthday cake to the face almost immediately, but arguably the biggest star of the show was Chris McCausland.
McCausland made history as the first-ever blind contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
And he stood out above all else.
One viewer said: "100% more co-ordination than me. Legend".
"The amount I've screamed out of pure joy watching @chrismccausland dance!!! I AM OBSESSED. INCREDIBLE WORK DIANNE!!!"
Another said: "Just give Chris McCausland the glitterball now. How is that even possible!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
