Katya Jones’ ex, who has been paired up with a celebrity on the BBC One show for the first time this year, added: “I just need to hurry up and recover.”
A recent episode of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two showed a video of Neil and Alex rehearsing their American Smooth.
Host, Zoe Ball, pointed out Neil was on a crutch and instead of dancing with the former footballer, he was giving her instructions on what to do.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One at 7pm on Saturday.
