Jenna Johnson Reveals Painful Injury Ahead of ‘DWTS’: Will She Compete Tonight?

Jenna Johnson is dealing with an injury ahead of the November 10 episode of Dancing With the Stars. In a video posted to Instagram on November 10, the pro dancer showed off her bruised face and said she broke her nose during November 9’s camera blocking day for the next Live Show.

“Salsa: 1, Jenna’s nose: 0,” she captioned the video, referencing the dance she and partner Harry Shum Jr. are performing on Grammy Night.

“Little swollen. No black eyes today, which is awesome, but if my nose looks four times the size, that’s why,” Johnson explained in her video. However, she did not give any indication that she won’t be dancing with Shum, so it appears the show must go on!

Luckily, Shum and Johnson will only have to perform one dance on Grammy Night, as they are immune from the second round dance-off based on last week’s scores. The other six pairs will have to take the ballroom floor twice.

Johnson and Shum have earned perfect scores from the judges for their last two dances. They also scored an additional 40/40 for their team freestyle dance last week. It’s unclear exactly how Johnson obtained her injury, but the salsa is a dance that allows lifts and tricks, so chances are there was a difficult move that got the best of the duo.
