HOME > Dancing with the Stars > Dancing with the Stars 9Report: Tom DeLay withdrawing from 'Dancing with the Stars'
Former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has reportedly decided to hang up his dancing shoes.
Last night, DeLay -- who had already been diagnosed with a pre-stress fracture in his right foot prior to the show's September premiere -- had announced he had decided to ignore the advice of his doctor and Dancing with the Stars producers' and continue in the competition despite the newly-diagnosed dual stress fractures.
"What's a little pain when you can party?" his boasted to Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron before he performed on Monday night's performance show. "It's a challenge and I've been having a ball." DeLay and professional partner Cheryl Burke subsequently received a 15 out of 30 score for their samba performance, leaving them in next-to-last-place on Monday night's leaderboard. "You really are a super trouper... [but] of course the performance suffers and we have to judge based on what we see," Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli told DeLay. ABC denied comment when contacted by People. |
