Don’t miss…
It comes after Nick was signed off by doctors last week following an anxious wait to be declared fit to dance. He injured his shoulder last week after changing a tyre on his Range Rover.
After being given the green light, Nick just had two days to practice his American Smooth routine to ‘s Parklife last Saturday.
Speaking of his relief at the time, Nick said to his fans on : “We’ve had an interesting couple of days, full of scans and physios and people helping me. Everyone’s been amazing.
“Thank you for all your messages of support. We will see you all on Saturday where we’ll be dancing the American Smooth to ‘Park Life’ by Blur.”
