Season 6 Dancing With the Stars contestant Priscilla Presley didn’t do as well in the competition as she thinks she could have done … and she thinks it was because Louis van Amstel was distracted.
US Weekly reported that Priscilla told a live Las Vegas audience that she got less rehearsal time than the other Stars as a result of Louis’ love bubble.
Priscilla’s POV:
“I could not wait to get kicked off that show. I was so nervous because … my partner, who I liked very much, was in a new relationship with another guy.”
Presley was paired with pro Louis van Amstel during 2008’s season 6. They finished in eighth place.
“He was in a new relationship, and he wanted to get back home early,” Presley claimed. “He had a date, and he wanted to get this and that, and I was a little bit frustrated because he put that before us. I felt we could have done a lot better.”
According to Priscilla, she and Louis would only rehearse for DWTS three hours a day. Others practiced for about six hours daily. Still, Priscilla had wanted to give it all on the dance floor.
“I like challenges. I didn’t know how to dance that well.” Elvis’s wife continued, “I mean, I did like dancing, but I thought, ‘You know what, I’m gonna go in for it and do it, and I think it’ll be fun.’ Yeah, still nerve-wracking.”
At the time, Louis gushed about dancing with Presley. “What an amazing woman. Of all my celebrities, I see her the most.”
“We always have dinner when I come to Los Angeles, and what a quality woman [she is].”
