However, Nick has been seen arriving at the Strictly Come Dancing studios alongside his fiancee Katie Dadzie, 33.
Nick looked glum as he sat in the passenger seat of the car with his future on the BBC dancing hit still yet to be determined.
As per BBC guidelines, Nick and Luba were given a bye to the next round but if they still remain unable to compete, they will be forced to permanently withdraw from the contest.
Yesterday, the TV presenter was spotted leaving a medical centre on crutches amid his injury.
Nick, 62, injured himself after falling when he did a jump during a dress rehearsal – leaving him on crutches.
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 after The Sun exclusively revealed the news, taking to X to say: “I’m absolutely gutted and feeling very very sad.”
A source told The Sun: “Nick won’t be able to take part in Strictly [on Saturday night] after hurting his knee.
“He was in a dress rehearsal with his partner Luba Mushtuk when he did a jump and landed awkwardly.
“Nick has hurt his knee and is having to use crutches to get around now.
“It is such a devastating blow for him and he is being supported by the Strictly team.
“They are sending him for scans and are doing everything they can to make sure he is okay.
“Nick had to fight to make sure he could take part in the first live show after hurting his arm and shoulder and he did so well.
“This new injury has been a real blow and he is incredibly upset about it.
“Luba and Nick are hoping it is just something minor and that he can recover in time for next week.”
