Elaine Hendrix was forced out of her appearance on Dancing with the Stars this past week due to an injury.
The Parent Trap alum and her partner, Alan Bersten, did not perform during the Halloween special following the incident. In a new video shared on social media, Hendrix gave an update on her health.
“I am starting pain management today,” Hendrix said in a post on Instagram. “I’m not dancing today, I’m not dancing tomorrow. We’ll be back at it Friday.”
As for her future in the ABC dancing competition, Hendrix said, “I’m just getting ready to be in that ballroom next Tuesday.”
Hendrix’s post on Instagram also included a message to fans and everyone who has reached out to her for their support following the injury.
“THANK YOU for every message, vote, and word of encouragement. We couldn’t do this without you,” read the caption of the post. “The hardest part of yesterday was not being able to show you just how incredible our piece could have been. Here’s my costume, hair, and the overall inspo we had planned for last night. The DWTS creative team is THE BEST!”
Hendrix seemingly has no intentions of leaving the competition as long as she is still able to perform. Although she did not dance in the latest show, Hendrix was still judged for the Argentine tango she performed during Tuesday’s rehearsal before she had to be carried off on a stretcher.
In a video she shared online from a hospital bed following the injury, Hendrix said, “Halloween is my favorite, and I’m devastated. I was beyond excited to share what we had worked so hard on, although you’ll see a version of it. With your support, I’ll be back in the ballroom next week. I want nothing more.”
