Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman told viewers that he was unable to perform, but would be back this week (October 12).
Nick returned to training today with dance partner Luba Mushtuk after being given the all clear.
A show insider has said that if they perform this weekend, the two will be dancing Charleston to Rain on the Roof from Paddington 2 – which is what they would have done for Movie Week last week.
An insider told The Mirror: “The plan is to rehearse today and Friday and then a final decision will be made about Saturday evening.
“He is going to try and do the routine he’d already learned for Movie Week.
“It’s unfortunate it’s a Charleston because it’s very hard to do without lots of knee action, but there is no alternative.
“Everyone has their fingers crossed for him.”
It comes after Nick issued an update to fans on It Takes Two last night.
The TV star told host Janette Manrara that show bosses were keeping a watchful eye on his injuries and he would be allowed to undertake some light training on Thursday with the hopes of being able to remain in the competition.
Nick said: “Each day gets a little bit better.
“On Friday, it looked pretty bad to be honest.
“Saturday was not so good but I got a scan and so we decided to wait until Monday so we could have a look at that.
“Monday was a little bit stronger and today I got the see the physio’s and I’ve had help from all the rehab and physio’s and doctors and they have given me clearance to try and dance tomorrow to train.
“If I train tomorrow then it might not necessarily be the end of it.”
Janette then clarified that Nick will be given a final decision on Friday if he can remain in the contest after assessments regarding his training session on Thursday have been made.
Addressing how she would adapt the routine owing to Nick’s injuries, Luba revealed: “We will take it step-by-step and see what is comfortable and maybe what is feeling uncomfortable.
“We will create it together.”
