Dancing With the Stars pro Jenna Johnson is putting on a brave face — and dancing through the pain — after suffering a broken nose during Grammy Night rehearsals.
Jenna broke her nose while camera blocking; however, the injury isn’t stopping her from hitting the ballroom floor with celebrity partner Harry Shum Jr. for the highly anticipated episode.
“Last night, I definitely broke my nose during camera blocking,” Jenna shared in an Instagram video showing off the bridge of her nose and the area underneath. “A little swollen. No black eyes today, which is awesome. But if my nose looks just four times the size, that’s why.”
Despite the injury, Johnson appeared ready to compete, giving the camera a thumbs-up before taking on the evening’s challenge. “Salsa: 1 Jenna’s Nose: 0,” she cheekily captioned the video. “Happy Show Day 😊.”
Johnson also received some encouragement from Season 34 contestant Dylan Efron, who commented, “Don’t need noses to dance 💪crush it tonight!” Never forget, Dylan broke his nose during Season 34. He captioned his Instagram post, “Broke my nose, but don’t need it to dance 🕺.”
The ballroom mishap comes during an impressive run for Jenna and Harry. The pair recently earned their second consecutive perfect score of 40 out of 40 during Disney Night.
Their flawless jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins, combined with their season-long scores, also secured them immunity for Tuesday’s dance-off.
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
