‘DWTS’ Alfonso Ribeiro Injured, Now Using Wheelchair
Beloved Dancing With The Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro is reportedly using a wheelchair after suffering an injury.
The actor loves grooving on the dance floor as he helps move the show along, but he might need to sit a few dances out. Fans love the energy and presence Alfonso brings to the ballroom, but no one wants to see his injury worsen.
What exactly happened and what can fans expect from this week’s new episode? Read on to get the scoop.
Alfonso Ribeiro Sustained An Ankle Injury While Filming Holiday Shows
On ABC, the winter holiday season is always extraordinarily festive. DWTS Season 33 will be over by the time Christmas arrives, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. The network has several fun surprises in store for December.
Members of the Dancing With The Stars cast headed to Disney World to film for the upcoming ABC holiday special. While it was a performance to remember, Alfonso Ribeiro didn’t have such a great time.
Filming at Disney World seems like a dream come for many performers. And for the first part of the day, Alfonso Ribeiro enjoyed filming a fun dance number with his cohost Julianne Hough. But one misstep sent the father of three sprawling.
TMZ reports the actor stepped on a trolley rail and rolled his ankle while filming the performance. After the incident, Julianne Hough rushed to support her cohost. In videos taken by spectators, Alfonso tried to put weight on his ankle but felt it was ultimately too painful. Eventually, he needed a wheelchair.
Insiders share the Fresh Prince star threw up in a trash can afterward.
The Actor Will Reportedly Still Appear On DWTS Tomorrow Night
Thankfully, it doesn’t seem the injury was permanently debilitating. TMZ also reports that Alfonso Ribeiro’s injury was minor, even if it was incredibly painful. He later returned to Disney World to finish production. He also reportedly plans on hosting the 500th epsiode special tomorrow night, as planned. However, he probably won’t have a huge dancing role.
It’s not currently known how long Alfonso Ribeiro will need the wheelchair. Fans hope he will receive the rest and care he needs to recover properly.
Up until Alfonso’s accident, it seemed like the Disney World shoot was quite special to experience.
