Nick Knowles has shared that his Strictly partner Luba Mushtuk will help him train for his first dance at his imminent wedding. The DIY SOS presenter became the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the BBC programme.

Speaking on the spin-off show, It Takes Two, Nick revealed that Luba will have a special role in his upcoming wedding. He said: “More importantly, I am getting married next year and Luba is going to help choreograph the first dance.”

Luba added: “He really wanted to do an Argentine tango. From the moment we met, he said, ‘My dream is to do the Argentine tango’. So it is a promise for me, I am going to do it for him and his fiancée Katie. I will choreograph it and they will have the dance.”

The news comes shortly after it was reported that there was an apparent ‘rift’ between Luba and Nick’s future wife, Katie Dadzie.

A source claimed that ballroom expert Luba became uncomfortable when Katie frequently ‘interrupted’ their rehearsals, which had made teaching ‘difficult’.

The insider told The Sun: “Luba found the constant interruptions exasperating because she felt it was disturbing their training and routine. It was starting to affect how Luba could teach, given that she felt Katie’s eyes on her when they were in close holds.

“Luba is a complete professional but no one can deny that it is awkward having your partner’s girlfriend in the room. Katie seems to be very clingy to Nick.”

Express.co.uk has previously contacted representatives for Luba and Nick for comment.

Alongside the apparent ‘rift’, Nick sadly suffered a number of injuries during his Strictly journey. He almost missed the first live show after he injured his shoulder after changing a tyre on his Range Rover.

The following week, Nick then suffered another mishap when he injured his knee during rehearsals. He was forced to skip the next live show and was given a by-pass onto next week’s competition.

Eventually he was given the green light to return and Nick performed a Charleston to Rain on the Roof. He later faced Shayne Ward in the dance-off and was eliminated.
