Simon Rimmer and his dance partner Karen Clifton have put Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals on hold.
The Sunday Brunch presenter was chatting to Zoe Ball on It Takes Two about his fall during a dance-off, revealing he sustained a painful injury.
Showing an image of Simon's bandaged leg, Zoe said: 'You've got your thigh strapped up?'
Simon replied: 'So that is from the slip, basically, I've got a bit of pain in my quad and my lovely physio Doug has strapped me up to keep the muscle in place to hopefully heal it and sort itself out.'
Karen added: 'It is really tough, these guys have never danced before and the amount of muscular it's pretty intense on your muscles – something like that happens, it's hard to recover from it, hopefully it will be OK.'
However, when Zoe asked if they'd started training yet, Simon explained: 'No, this has got to calm down really – not been able to start yet as this has got to be eased off.'
Karen then admitted that she's a little bit worried that they've not been able to rehearse yet, adding: 'It leaves us two days to get everything together, he's a hard worker and very focused. I'm ok, for now'.
Strictly Come Dancing's Halloween horror special kicks off on Saturday (October 28) at 6.35pm, with the results show airing on Sunday (October 29) at 7.15pm, both on BBC One.
