Julianne Hough Recalled the Moment a Cyst Burst on ‘DWTS’
During a September 2 TVLine Spotlight conversation, Hough recalled the on-air emergency.
“It was season 7 … I was dancing with Cody Linley, it was the quarterfinals and we were dressed as ‘I Love Lucy,'” she said. “And I remember we were dancing, and at that moment I had a cyst burst, like live on television.”
She was able to get through the performance but went to the hospital afterwards. “And then literally, right at the very end of the show, I collapsed and they took me to the ER, and I had to have surgery that week,” the current “DWTS” co-host recalled.
Hough was able to return and perform in the “Design a Dance” routine with her brother, Derek Hough, in part because the show was going to give the opportunity to somebody else.
Julianne Hough Celebrates 20 Years of ‘DWTS’
Hough included a mention of the emergency situation in her June 2 Instagram post celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Dancing With the Stars.”
“Wow. What a journey. What started as a niche ballroom dance show turned into something so much bigger, a place where people come to grow, transform and connect,” Hough wrote. “It brought dance into millions of homes, made a Paso Doble cool to care about, and gave dancers a real path to shine in ways we never imagined possible.”
She called the experience “magical, unpredictable and emotional.”
“It’s about what happens when you put yourself out there live and exposed in front of the world but held with so much care,” the “DWTS” co-host explained “We’ve all been changed by it.”
Hough recalled, “I was 18 when I joined the show. Fresh out of Utah with $2000 in my pocket after training in london my whole childhood, totally unsure of what was ahead.”
She continued, “Who would’ve thought … I ended up winning my first two seasons, had a cyst burst on live TV (yep, that happened), cried with Dr. Drew, danced with a unicycle — first prop used on the show besides a chair, judged alongside my friends @carrieanninaba @brunotonioliofficial and the ultimate legend Len, and now … 20 years later … I’m co hosting the show that quite literally raised me.”
“I’ve gotten to experience nearly every role this show has to offer, and each one has taught me something new,” Hough shared.
