Dancing with the Stars surprised the fans with some really spooky performances ahead of Halloween. The episode held even greater significance, as it marked Cheryl Burke’s return to the show after 3 years. However, did you know there was a contestant who missed out on performing? Yes, we are talking about Elaine Hendrix, who was rushed to the hospital ahead of Dancing With the Stars Halloween Night after experiencing an injury during rehearsal.
What happened to Elaine Hendrix?
Elaine Hendrix has been doing immensely well on DWTS. However, fans were quick to notice that she was missing from the episode on October 28, 2025, (ET). This led fans to wonder why, and the show’s co-host, Alfonso Ribeiro, addressed the same and revealed why she had not joined the team. The host revealed that the actress had injured herself during the rehearsal and was now hospitalised. He was quoted as saying:
“Now, as you’ve probably noticed, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten are not here. She suffered an injury in rehearsal this morning. Right now, she’s at the hospital being assessed. They’re still in the competition and still need your votes. We’ll explain more later on.”
