DWTS curse strikes both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell.
ABC announced that both women dropped out of the Dancing With The Stars competition as a result of knee injuries during rehearsals.
Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs; Nancy has a torn meniscus that will require surgery.
"Though we share in their disappointment that they can no longer continue, their physical well-being takes precedent above all else. We thank them both for giving it their all and wish them a quick and full recovery,” the show’s executive producer said in a statement.
Replacements will be announced on Monday night during the show’s premiere.
One of the replacements will be ex-Hef love Holly Madison of Girls Next Door fame.
