Derek Hough sidelined after ‘DWTS’ injury

Derek Hough is temporarily out at “Spring Spectacular” at Radio City after suffering an injury rehearsing for the “Dancing With the Stars” anniversary show Monday in LA.

Performing 10 shows a week at Radio City while rehearsing with Nastia [Liukin] for ‘DWTS,’ I’ve never felt more healthy, strong and fit,” he wrote on Instagram Wednesday. “Then a fluke accident happened that involved a light and some stairs . . . I’m doing everything I possibly can to have a quick recovery.”

A rep for Hough confirms he suffered a broken toe, sprains to his left ankle and a bone bruise.

He’ll be in rehab in LA this week, with an understudy filling in for him at Radio City. It’s “unclear” if he’ll appear on the “DWTS” anniversary.

Performing 10 shows a week at Radio City while rehearsing with Nastia for DWTS, I've never felt more healthy,strong and fit. But then a fluke accident happened that involved a light and some stairs. Can't believe it, wish I had a cooler story to tell. All that dancing , flipping , jumping and the thing that stops me in my tracks is something as simple as a light and some stairs . I'm doing everything I possibly can to have a quick recovery and I'm determined to come back stronger than ever. I appreciate all the love and support, you guys are the best. And thank you to Mark, BC Jean and Corky Ballas for staying with me at the hospital until 2am. Love you . This is new territory for me , I'm usually able to work through injury but this one has literally floored me. But like I said before I'm determined to come back all guns blazing … soon!!! #setbackisasetupforacomeback
