ok.co.ukStrictly Come Dancing star Nigel Harman has broken his silence after it was revealed he was forced to quit the show on medical grounds.
The former EastEnders actor, 50, who sustained a rib injury, appeared live on the BBC show on Saturday evening where he explained what exactly had transpired to cause the painful injury. “I was leaping off a rostrum, and was about to be caught by some very handsome men, and as I flew I was Peter Pan - but as I landed, I was in A&E," quipped the injured star.
Nigel then elaborated further as he explained: "I’ve done something to my rib, basically and it’s quite painful. And I’m a little bit high on painkillers as well, but I’m having a lovely time!” On his experience, he added: “I’ve loved it and I am loving it.
It’s too soon to say loved.This hasn’t really sunk in, and as I watched everyone come down the stairs - it’s ‘Oh, this is real, I’m not part of this anymore’, and that was quite sad.” The Casualty star even admitted he had been avoiding his dance partner all day as it made it "too real" to realise their journey together was now over.
