‘Dancing With the Stars’ professional dancer Emma Slater has suffered an ankle injury, as revealed in an Instagram post.
The post, featuring photos of Slater in a hospital bed and with fellow pro Britt Stewart, offered few details about the injury’s cause but assured fans she would “be back soon.” Slater and her celebrity partner, Reginald VelJohnson, were recently eliminated from the competition.
Slater’s post acknowledged her fellow eliminated pros and expressed her intention to join VelJohnson for some much-needed rest.
Support from the ‘DWTS’ community poured in via comments, including messages from Stewart, Sasha Farber, Jenna Johnson, and VelJohnson himself. The injury’s impact on Slater’s future involvement with the show remains unclear.
