Injuries Force Nancy O’Dell, Jewel to Stop ‘Dancing’

Mar 5, 2009  •  Post A Comment

“Access Hollywood’s” Nancy O’Dell and singer Jewel have withdrawn from the latest season of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” due to injuries sustained during practice, the network announced today.
Ms. O’Dell suffered a torn meniscus, while Jewel was diagnosed with fractures in both of her tibias, ABC said.
Both stars will appear on the season opener Monday to address their departures, with announcements of cast replacements also due to be made during the premiere.
“Like most sports, dancing can be a demanding, physical activity. Each participant of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ warrants in contract that they are physically fit enough to participate in the competition,” “Stars” executive producer Conrad Green said in a statement.
“We love and appreciate Nancy’s and Jewel’s competitive spirit, drive and desire to perform their best. 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,” he said.
