Darren Kennedy has revealed he suffered an ankle injury this week in training for DWTS.
The stylist, who is dancing the jive with partner Karen Byrne this week, was left with a slight injury after putting his foot through a wall during dance rehearsals, but hopes to be fighting fit for tonight’s show
“I’m doing a jive this week and it’s all about kicks. Karen told me I wasn’t kicking hard enough so I did, right through the wall.” He told the Irish Sun.
“I landed on my foot which was stinging for a while. All I have now is a bit of tenderness around the ankles. We collapsed in laughter straight after but I haven’t spoken to the gym yet about the damage.”
“But I know they’ll be understanding as they’re very supportive of me doing Dancing With The Stars.”
Darren’s dance partner Karen is pushing for perfection this year, as she aims to make it two wins in a row after lifting the trophy last year with boyfriend Jake Carter.
“Karen has a good heart but can be a bit harsh sometimes, but only because she knows I’m capable of so much more,” Darren revealed.
“I need to be pushed sometimes because I underestimate my own ability.
“I have no dance experience and nothing comes natural to me. I have to work.”
Best of luck to Darren and all the dancers tonight!
