Strictly's Nigel Harman's last TV appearance just hours before quitting show
Strictly Come Dancing's Nigel Harman appeared on Friday's It Takes Two just hours before it was revealed he has quit the hit BBC One dance competition.
During the spin-off show, Nigel, 50, appeared in good spirits alongside pro partner Katya Jones as they shared their excitement for Musicals Week, where they were due to perform the Charleston to Step in Time from feel-good movie and musical Mary Poppins on Saturday night.
It comes as a BBC spokesperson confirmed his exit on Saturday, saying: "Unfortunately Nigel has sustained an injury which means he is unable to perform in tonight’s show and has had to withdraw from Strictly." This is the second quit of the series as Amanda Abbington, 51, left the BBC Latin and ballroom show a few weeks back due to personal reasons.

During the interview, Fleur, 36, pointed out that this is the furthest Katya has got on the competition in six years. She said: "Nigel, this is the furthest Katya has got in six years...", asking if he was determined to go all the way to the final.

Nigel replied: "I'm just glad that people get to see her dance in colour because that last time it was still in black-and-white television" with Katya joking: "It was so long ago!" Nigel added: "It's brilliant for her, it's brilliant for us, it's Musicals Week as well, which for me, is a great week. I love musicals! We just feel really grateful to be here."
