Nigel Harman's time on Strictly Come Dancing sadly came to a premature end after a shock injury forced him to pull out of the competition.<\/p>\n

The 50 year old, who is best known for his role of Dennis Rickman on EastEnders, was left devastated after a rib injury ruled the actor his professional dance partner, Katya Jones, out of the competition just a fortnight before the final. <\/p>\n

But what do we know about the actor's life off screen?<\/p>\n

Nigel has been married to his wife, Lucy Liemann, for 12 years and, like her husband, she's also a successful actor.<\/p>\n

Lucy has starred in popular TV shows such as The Bill, The IT Crowd, Midsomer Murders, Agatha Raisin, Moving Wallpaper, and Reggie Perrin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, she is probably best known for her role as Lucy in the third part of the Jason Bourne film series, The Bourne Ultimatum.<\/p>\n

The couple, who reportedly met on the set of BBC series Hotel Babylon, tied the knot in 2011.<\/p>\n

Nigel and Lucy welcomed a daughter in 2012, but her name is not known, and they have always kept their personal lives away from social media.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, from what we do know, it seems as though Nigel chose to take part in Strictly as his daughter is a huge fan of the show.<\/p>\n

He told whattowatch.com: "Basically Strictly has been on in our house for a while now. My daughter\u2019s really into it and we sit down and watch it as a family, so that was a good enough reason to say yes!\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAlthough when I told my wife she just laughed \u2013 I\u2019m not sure if it was because she\u2019s thrilled for me or she was picturing me dancing!"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nigel previously told Radio Times that his wife and daughter have been watching him and Katya in rehearsals, revealing: \u201cMy wife and daughter popped in to watch us go through our routine and they really enjoyed it. It was really lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, Nigel and Lucy\u2019s daughter was too young to support her dad in person due to Strictly\u2019s 16+ rule for audience members.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Katya revealed how happy Nigel\u2019s daughter had been with his performances: "I will tell you her little face – she was so proud! That's all that matters isn't it at the end of the day."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
