Maksim Chmerkovskiy is paired with Heather Morris on Dancing with Stars this season, and something happened on Friday that did not cause them glee. While rehearsing for tonight’s show on ABC, the new dad felt a pain in his calf and now doctors are advising him not to dance for the foreseeable future.
According to Good Morning America, troupe dancer Alan Bersten is filling in for him tonight, but it unclear for how long.
Maks took to Twitter this morning to tell his fans, “Sorry I was MIA. Tune in to @dancingabc today and all will be explained. Tough show for #teamMaksimumHeat and @heatherrelizabethh would have to hold it down for both of us. Please show her your love and support while I work on getting my ass back to the ballroom. #DidNotSeeThisComing #WillBeBackBetterThanEver”
That is the always the DWTS way, can’t confirm anything until the show airs. Which surprises me that they even let it get out there that he will not be dancing on the show tonight.
The switch of partners should not effect Morris’ chances since after all this is not her first time dancing. She did as a background dancer on Beyonce’s tour and on also when she was starring on Glee. Can you tell I am Team Charo and Team Mr T? Hopefully, the latter 2 will be around for a long time on the show because they are the only reason to watch.
