Dancing With The Stars 2015 spoilers indicate that Alek Skarlatos is getting medical attention after his pro partner Emma Slater broke his nose during rehearsal on Monday October 12. According to TMZ, “Our ‘DWTS’ sources tell us Skarlatos and his partner Emma Slater were in rehearsals Monday morning when she accidentally hit him in the face with an elbow. Will Alex be able to dance tonight in the Week 5 DWTS dancing competition?
We’re told medics are at the dance studio right now … checking him out. Early prognosis is … it’s broken, but he’ll have to get x-rays to confirm.”
Emma Slater and Alek Skarlatos are set to take the live Dancing With The Stars stage to perform the dance they have been rehearsing together – in less than 6 hours. There is no news yet on whether or not Alek and Emma will be sitting out tonight’s performance due to his injury. We’re going to assume that Alek will dance with the broken nose, after all he is a war veteran and he just took down a crazy man wielding a gun on a train – he can most likely dance through a broken nose.
Ironically, Week 5 of Dancing With The Stars just happens to be “Switch-Ups.” America voted earlier this week and paired Alek Skarlatos up with Emma Slater, his actual dance partner is Lindsay Arnold. So, Alek didn’t even get his nose broken by his own pro partner! The American Train Hero will most likely be thrilled when Week 5 is in the books – and he can get back to dancing with Lindsay Arnold, you know the partner that has broken any of his bones.
Do you think that Alek Skarlatos will still perform tonight? Will his broken nose hurt his and Emma Slater’s scores from the judges? Let us know what you think in the comments below and come back to CDL for all you Dancing With The Stars season 21 recaps, news, and gossip!
