In a disappointing turn of events for fans and the star herself, former The Bachelorette lead Kaitlyn Bristowe has been compelled to pull out of the much-anticipated Dancing With The Stars live tour. The decision comes on the heels of a significant physical setback.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the reality TV personality and season 29 champion shared the gut-wrenching news with her followers. She posted a poignant video from a medical setting, her voice thick with emotion, to explain the situation directly.
A Painful Setback
Bristowe disclosed that she has been diagnosed with a herniated disc in her back, an injury severe enough to necessitate immediate withdrawal from the demanding schedule of the nationwide tour. The rigorous dance routines and constant travel proved too great a risk, with medical professionals advising her to prioritise recovery.
"This is not how I saw this going," a visibly upset Bristowe confessed to her audience. She expressed profound disappointment, having been eagerly looking forward to connecting with supporters across the various tour stops.
An Emotional Farewell to the Dance Floor
The dancer's announcement was met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Her journey on DWTS was a defining one, making this forced exit particularly bittersweet. This injury not only sidelines her from the tour but also represents a sudden halt to her dancing endeavours.
This development is sure to disappoint the many fans who had purchased tickets hoping to see her renowned choreography live on stage. The DWTS tour will continue with its remaining cast of professional and celebrity dancers.
