Strictly chaos as star is seen arriving at dance studios – before he’s officially announced for the show
NICK Knowles has been spotted arriving at the Strictly studios for the first time.
The DIY SOS presenter, 61, has not yet officially been announced by the BBC as a participant in this autumn's dance competition.
Trying to keep a low profile, Nick was seen as he arrived at Cecil Sharp House on Friday (August 9).
The building, which is used for the Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals, saw him quickly ushered out of a black car and into the studios.
He donned a blue jumper with his hood up and a pair of dark shades covering his eyes.
Earlier this week The Sun exclusively revealed how Nick had signed up to appear on the 2024 show.
