Nigel Hartman with professional partner Katya Jones in one of their routines
Actor Nigel Harman has pulled out of Strictly Come Dancing just hours ahead of the quarter final after suffering a leg injury, the BBC has said.
The Casualty star had been due to dance a Charleston with professional partner Katya Jones.
A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately Nigel has sustained an injury which means he is unable to perform and has had to withdraw from Strictly".
It is not clear whether an elimination will still go ahead this week.
The remaining celebrities are Ellie Leach, Annabel Croft, Layton Williams and Bobby Brazier.
Asked what would happen this week, a BBC spokesperson said: "It's a live situation and the logistical details will be revealed on the show this evening."
The quarter final is "musicals week" and Harman had been due to dance to Step in Time from Disney's Mary Poppins.
A post on the show's Instagram page wished him a "speedy recovery", adding the couple will be "very much missed by our entire Strictly family".
