Brendan Cole has injured his left knee falling down an escalator.

The dancer, 32, is now worried of the effect the injury will have on his performance for this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing live show.

‘I fell up the escalator and ripped my knee,’ he tell The Sun. ‘I can’t bend my leg properly and my jeans are covered in blood. It's not good.’

Brendan, who is to perform the Paso Doble with dance partner Lisa Snowdon, 36, on Saturday, was on the way to see former partner Kelly Brook, 28, in her West End play Fat Pig.

Last week Brendan and Lisa were top of the leader board after their American Smooth.
