At the moment Missy is currently taking part in the current series of Dancing with the Stars. Last week she was unable to perform after testing positive with Covid, but this week she plans on coming back with a bang!
Posting an update on how she was doing at the weekend she shared; “It’s been quite a week! Covid got me gooooood It’s been tough…. Thankfully didn’t have any crazy symptoms but it’s been strange not being in rehearsals all week and even stranger not being at the studio now getting ready for tonight’s show.”
Continuing she added; “GUTTED is an understatement!!@dwtsirl you truly have my heart! Coming to the end of my isolation now though and soooo excited for next week! My next dance is perfectly suited to my birthday weekend… 21 on Friday!!! I can’t wait.”
Missy had planned to dedicate her performance last week to her grandmother, Marie Keating, who passed away before she was born. Taking to Instagram to share the news she said; “Absolutely devastated to announce that due to Covid, I won’t be performing on Dancing with the Stars this Sunday.”
“Dedicated Dance Night was something I really wanted to be part of. My dance was going to be in honour of my beautiful grandmother, Marie Keating, who I never got to meet.”
Continuing she added; “Those who know her cancer story, know she was taken from our family at an extremely young age, and this was my moment to be with her and dance for her. I’m heartbroken with the circumstances.”
However, as devastating as it is for Missy to miss out on what would have been a special week for her, she’s looking forward to returning to the dance floor again once she makes a full recovery.
“Please God I will be back on that dancefloor next week. I turn 21 next Friday so Ervinas and I have a super fun performance planned to celebrate it.”
Happy birthday Missy!
