Steve-O Injured on Dancing with the Stars

The DTWS Curse is wreaking havoc on Steve-O.

The Jackass star had to sit out Monday’s Dancing with the Stars performance show after suffering a back injury during dress rehearsal with his partner Lacey Schwimmer.

Host Tom Bergeron explained that Steve-O, who is already dealing with pinched nerves in his back, “landed on his mic pack” while doing a front flip. “As a precaution,” Bergeron said “he went to the hospital to get checked out and he hopes to be back next week.”

While the doctor’s are hopeful about his return and Schwimmer assured the audience that nothing was broken, the judges were not gentle and this may be the end of Steve-O’s road regardless.

Steve-O and Lacey were dancing salsa on Monday’s show but, since he missed the performance, the judges scored their dress rehearsal instead and they were not kind, only awarding them 14 points out of 30 and a combined 31 out of 60.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
