The 62-year-old said: “I’m absolutely gutted and feeling very very sad.”
Nick injured himself after falling when he did a jump during a dress rehearsal – leaving him on crutches.
It is the second injury to blight Nick on Strictly after he injured his shoulder and arm while changing a car tyre.
A source told The Sun: “Nick won’t be able to take part in Strictly tomorrow night after hurting his knee.
“He was in a dress rehearsal with his partner Luba Mushtuk when he did a jump and landed awkwardly.
“Nick has hurt his knee and is having to use crutches to get around now.
“It is such a devastating blow for him and he is being supported by the Strictly team.
“They are sending him for scans and are doing everything they can to make sure he is okay.”
A spokesperson for Strictly said: “Unfortunately, Nick Knowles sustained an injury during rehearsals and as a result, will not dance this weekend.
“As per the rules of the competition, Nick and Luba will receive a bye through to next week when he is hopefully able to dance again. Everyone at Strictly Come Dancing wishes Nick a speedy recovery.”
Since news of Nick’s injury broke, fans have flooded the TV presenter with support, with one writing: “Nick, I do hope you feel better soon and are able to carry on with your strictly journey!”
A second posted: “Stay smiling, rest your body and mind, and contemplate what Super Luba is planning for when you are fit again.”
“Take care and hopefully see you next week,” said a third.
