Nick Knowles ‘learning to walk again’ after Strictly injury left him needing major surgery
NICK Knowles has shared video footage of him "learning to walk again" after having major surgery.
The DIY SOS star was injured during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year.
Nick tore his entire Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during a dress rehearsal on the show.
The telly star landed badly while performing a jump and it led to his and pro dancer Luba Mushtuk’s withdrawal from the BBC competition.

Nick wrote on X: "For those of you who have had knee surgery you’ll know that first step the next day is quite a challenge but amazing it IS the next day thanks to a brilliant surgeon.

"The trick is then staying patient when you want to be up and about.
"I am not naturally a patient person."
Nick says he's determined to get back to 100% fitness by August 2025 in time for his wedding to fiancé Katie Dadzie.
He's set to rest until February before starting work on a new series of the BBC's DIY SOS.
Nick previously told The Sun: “I’m really hoping I’ll be back on my feet by then, although I won’t be fully recovered until August next year.
“We’ve booked our wedding for next summer and the plan is for us to be able to do a first dance.
“It won’t be a full Strictly routine but I’m determined to have a special dance with Katie.”
