Alfonso Ribeiro, beloved Dancing With the Stars host, is on the mend after a recent injury at Disney World. The 53-year-old star hurt his ankle while filming a dance segment for an ABC holiday special at the Florida theme park, as captured in footage shared by TMZ.
During the shoot, Alfonso reportedly stepped on one of the trolley rails, causing him to roll his ankle. The incident left him in visible pain, and video footage shows him leaning heavily on his DWTS cohost Julianne Hough, avoiding putting weight on his injured ankle. A production team member quickly rushed to provide a chair so Alfonso could sit down and try to roll out the pain.
Spectators witnessed the moment, which ended with Alfonso being moved to a wheelchair. His resilience was met with cheers and applause from the audience. In a surprising twist, he was also seen getting sick in a nearby trashcan.
Despite the unfortunate incident, a source tells TMZ that the injury is minor. Fans can rest assured that the holiday special will still air as planned on ABC Christmas Day. Here’s to hoping Alfonso Ribeiro has a swift and smooth recovery!
