Oh no! Derek Hough’s Dancing with the Stars injuries may sideline him for the rest of the season! He injured his foot during a rehearsal on Monday.
“Derek Hough suffered injuries to his right foot and left ankle,” said his spokesperson. “He has been diagnosed with a broken toe on his right foot and sprains to his left ankle on both the inside and outside aspects and a bone bruise on the same ankle. Derek will remain in Los Angeles this week to rehab his injuries.”
Derek’s understudy will fill in for him for now for the New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall in New York. I wonder if splitting his time between the NYC show and competing in DWTS in Los Angeles left him vulnerable to injury?
“While it remains unclear at this time if Derek will be able to perform on April 27 episode, his partner Nastia Liukin will train in Los Angeles this week with pro-dancer Sasha Farber to prepare for the live show.”
Derek was also absent from last night’s taping of the 10th anniversary special that will air on April 28.
Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays (8/7c p.m.) on ABC.
