Neil Jones has confirmed that he will be dancing on Saturday's Strictly show.
The professional dancer, 37, has missed two weeks of live shows after sustaining a calf muscle injury during training - with fellow pro dancer Kevin Clifton , 37, having to step in to train with partner Alex Scott.
Appearing on It Takes Two today while in rehearsals, he and Alex revealed that they would be dancing together tomorrow.
Speaking to Gethin Jones, Alex admitted it had been a "weird" few weeks but that she finally knew who she was dancing with tomorrow.
"I am dancing with my normal partner Neil Jones!" she exclaimed happily as she was joined by Neil at her side.
The pro went on to thank Kevin for stepping in, saying that he had been "great this week" and that they couldn't have done it without him.
Neil had an exam with the physio today - meaning he and Alex will have only had one day before show time on Saturday to know which one of the boys will be dancing.
earlier this week when he said that he was still waiting to hear whether he would be dancing on Saturday.
Appearing next to Alex, 35, and Kevin, a distraught Neil admitted: "I'm really hoping. I still don't know.
"I've been dancing a lot today. I've been doing that. It's been feeling good, but I need to be passed by the physio."
Alex added: "I've been dancing with both, and Neil will make the decision.
"If he's 100%, I know he will go out there and dance. Actually, I just want to say how frustrating it's been for Neil.
"Just hearing everybody speak about me dancing with Kev, and this guy is amazing! I want to be at the level that I'm at with him right now. Whether I'm dancing with Neil or I'm dancing with Kev, they are both amazing guys."
Neil's painful injury is believed to be either a torn knee ligament or a pulled calf muscle, which can take up to six weeks for a full recovery.
He took to Twitter earlier this week to reveal that he's been taking long ice baths so he can return to the dancefloor with partner Alex.
Neil tweeted: "I've never had so many ice baths in all my life. Truthfully @Joe_Sugg would have no chance against me at an ICEBATH challenge. I can do 20mins."
