CROCKED Nick Knowles will find out today if he can continue on Strictly Come Dancing.
A decision was left until the last minute to give DIY SOS star's knee the best chance of recovering.

Nick, 62, has returned to training with permission to do the routine, which he learnt before pulling out of Movie Week last Saturday.

But the Charleston is hard on the knees because of the continuous twisting and turning involved - plus the famous "knock knee" move.
