Republican Tom DeLay who was paired with Cheryl Burke on Dancing With The Stars has suffered a foot injury.
“Old age is catching up to me, may have a stress fracture in my foot. No worries, it’ll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor!” he announced on his Twitter page.
Soon afterward he said the injury was not as severe as he thought. “No stress fracture! It is a pre-stress fracture. I live for another day,” he wrote.
Of their dance moves, Burke said: “We’re getting there. Slowly but surely. But at the end of the day, this is something completely out of his element and I think he’s such a brave man for going out in front of millions of people.
“You know, he’s not going to be the best dancer of the bunch. That’s for sure. But hopefully he’ll bring something new and different. Bring out his personality. Hopefully it’ll change what his image is all about.”
