Strictly Come Dancing fans were in a state of both confusion and euphoria as the show had to make some changes during the quarter-finals. There was chaos before the hit BBC One dance contest returned to screens on Saturday night (December 2) as the show's Musicals special was without one couple.
Unfortunately, Nigel Harman had to make a sudden exit from the competition with the news being revealed at the eleventh hour. The actor and his professional dance partner Katya Jones had to withdraw from Strictly 2023 after he sustained a rib injury that left him in A&E.
After an epic and theatrical performance from the show's professional dancers, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman welcomed viewers to the show and explained the plan for the competition after it was thrown into chaos. They explained that no elimination will take place this weekend with the couples still performing for the judges' scores which will be carried over to next weekend.

Nigel later appeared on the programme to talk to co-host Claudia Winkelman alongside Katya. "I'm so sorry... I know you're sad but..." Claudia started to say before Nigel instructed: "Don't make me laugh," before putting his hand under his blazer to hold his ribs. After being asked what had happened, he explained he sustained the injury after jumping off stage.
"I was leaping off a rust room and was bout to be caught by some very handsome men and as I flew, I was Peter Pan and as I landed, I was in A&E. So I've done something to my rib basically and it's quite painful. I'm a little bit high on painkillers
