"Dancing with the Stars" actress Jodie Sweetin might just miss Monday's show of the segment "Famous Dance Night" after Keo Motsepe fell on her ankle and injured her.
An official report by TV Line reveals that, while Sweetin and Motsepe were practicing a complex move from Pink's "Try" Video, Motsepe apparently lost balance and tripped, landing on his partner's ankle, after which she was rushed to hospital by medical personnel.
In a video released on Friday, Sweetin and Motsepe are seen together rehearsing when the unfortunate accident occurs. Sweetin cries out and slams her hand on the floor in pain telling Motsepe that he has hurt her ankle. She also says that she does not want to be done. The video ends with emergency medical personnel rushing Sweetin out on a stretcher with her ankle bandaged.
A representative of "Dancing with the Stars" has stated that the couples are to perform famous dances and recreate some great routines of all time. He adds that Sweetin is resting her foot. However, the two contestants have not talked about the incident apart from a photograph of themselves during the rehearsal that Motsepe shared.
Anything is to be expected as this may not be the first time a contestant in Season 22 of "Dancing with the Stars" has missed a performance prior to an injury. Professional dancer Mark Ballas missed a performance in the past month after hurting his back, and Nyle DiMarco got stitches after cutting one of his fingers.
Meanwhile, the remaining "Dancing with the Stars" contestants will be performing a jive, jazz, quickstep, Bollywood or contemporary in pairs. The performances will feature iconic dance routines from all time popular movies, live performances and music videos.
According to Buddy TV, each of the "Dancing with the Stars" couples has their own famous dance routine to reinvent. Some of the dances that will be revived are Janet Jackson's music video "Nasty," which will be performed by Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Ginger Zee, "Footloose" to be performed by Sharna Burgess and Antonio Brown, "Jai Ho!" to be performed by Doug Flutie and Karina Smirnoff, and Michael Jackson's "Bad" to be performed by Whitney Carson and Von Miller.
