Nigel Harman has explained why he quit Strictly Come Dancing hours before the quarter final episode.
It was announced by the BBC that the Casualty actor, 50, had beewas forced to withdraw from the dancing competition due to an injury sustained in rehearsals.
In his first interview given following his shock exit from the show, just two weeks before the final, Harman revealed he has hurt his rib.
He told host Claudia Winkleman: “I was leaping off a rostrum and was about to be caught by some very handsome men and, as I felw I was Peter Pan and as I landed, I was in A&E.
The actor added: “I’ve done something to my rib and it’s quite painful.”
Harman said he was unable to look at his professional dance partner Katya Jones and seeing her made him emotional about having to leave the competition at such a late stage.
