'Dancing With the Stars' Season 22 Cast: Jodie Sweetin Talks Bruising Bone & Why She Trusts Keo Motsepe [VIDEO]
Jodie Sweetin may have suffered multiple injuries this past week on Dancing With the Stars, but she's determined to stay in the competition.
Sweetin injured her left foot as well as her nose during rehearsals for Monday's night's episode of Dancing With the Stars. While there was some question as to whether she would be able to continue, the Fuller House star performed on Monday and received a score of 25 out of 30 from the judges.
The actress intends to move forward in the competition with her partner, Keo Motsepe.
"It wasn't too bad," she told E! News after the show, talking about her foot. "Luckily my ankle is OK, but I bruised a bone on the outside of my foot, which is tender and sensitive, but the ankle at least is stable. That would've thrown things off a little bit more. It is what it is. I keep it wrapped and ice it when I can and then I push myself the rest of the time."
Sweetin suggested she had every intention of performing on Monday, stating, "I trust Keo completely and we worked so hard on this."
Now, Sweetin and Motsepe have reached the Final 8. Already, this is a huge accomplishment for Motsepe, who had previously not been able to make it past the second elimination of the season with his past celebrity partners. Meanwhile, Sweetin is likely hoping to match or best her Fuller House co-star Candace Cameron Bure's placement in season 18. Cameron Bure came in third place.
Unfortunately there is a double elimination coming up next week so Sweetin and Motsepe will have to hope their fan base is passionate enough to move them forward in the competition.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
