Nigel appeared on Saturday night's show and fought back tears about being forced to pull out of the competition. Addressing his early departure, an emotional Nigel said: "I was leaping off a rostrum and was about to be caught by some handsome men, and as I flew I was Peter Pan and as I landed I was in A&E. I've done something to my rib, it's quite painful and I'm a little bit high on painkillers but I'm having a lovely time."

"I've loved it and I'm loving it. It's too soon to say loved. This hasn't really sunk in, when I watched everyone come down the stairs, I was like 'this is real, I'm not part of this anymore' and that was quite sad." Glancing over at his pro partner, he continued: "I've been avoiding Katya all day because that makes it really real as well."
