But it seems the injury was more serious than he hoped, with the star sharing a video today of him on crutches with his leg in a brace after having surgery.
He also revealed he’d had another operation on his arm as well.
Posting the clip to both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), Nick wrote: “So it wasn’t on my letter to Santa for two major operations – one to reattach my bicep and a second to build a new ACL and mend two years in the meniscus.
“Thank you to my two magnificently talented surgeons – Mr Ahrens for the bicep and Mr Jig Patel for the knee.”
“Three types of knee brace and one type of elbow brace – crutches – game ready ice and pressure machine – pressure leggings – physio stretching out [for] months ahead but I want to be walking normally by start of February for the next DIYSOS,” he declared.
He thanked his partner for her support, adding: “Katie my fiancee has been patient and supportive and amazingly patient with me – the worst patient in the world 😂😂,
“It’s been frustrating and very expensive but I’m determined to get back to 100% fitness which I hope will be around August 2025.
“Thanks for all the well wishes and encouragement – happy new year all.”
Fans were quick to share their support and give words of encouragement, with some even deeming him an inspiration as they go through a similar experience.
“Doing great there already – keep going mate,” wrote one.

“You have my admiration and encouragement. I’ve had 2 new knees and a hip replacement which I’m still to recover from. If you can do it so can I tho mines not nearly so bad. Onwards and upwards,” said a second.
A third noted: “All the best in your recovery and here’s to a happy and a far healthier New year. Stay safe, all the best.”
“All the best Nick … not nice going through all that but think how you’re gonna be come August,” wrote a fourth.
Nick’s fellow Strictly stars also sent their love and support, with finalist Tasha Ghouri saying: “Sending love to you nick.”
Nancy Xu added: “Getting better soon💓💓💓💓💓” while judge Motsi Mabuse wrote: “All the best ❤️❤️❤️”
