‘DWTS’ pro Jenna Johnson suffers brutal injury before live show

Dancing With the Stars professional Jenna Johnson said she broke her nose during camera blocking the night before a live show. She showed a slight swelling in an Instagram video, but later appeared smiling on set, indicating she was preparing to perform.

Johnson and partner Harry Shum Jr. are scheduled to dance the salsa to “Die with a Smile” on Grammy Night. They are exempt from the dance-offs and will receive bonus points because they have the season’s highest cumulative score; they also earned perfect scores on the previous two themed nights. The article also recalls tension after judge Carrie Ann Inaba criticised a lift in their samba, prompting Johnson’s husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, to post a controversial defence, apologise and miss one show before he and Inaba reconciled.
