Xochitl Gomez is injured again!
The actress revealed via Tik Tok on Monday (Nov 6) that she sprained her ankle while rehearsing for the show’s Music Video Night. “This shiiii is BANANAS!” she wrote alongside of a clip of herself doing a cartwheel during rehearsal. She obviously bends her ankle when falling on it.

“Im good tho! A lil sprain but WE WORKIN!” she continued in her caption. The clip ends with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, holding her hands as she knelt on the ground in pain.
Fear not, however, Xochitl will dance on Tuesday, she writes in a comment underneath the clip. “Just got an x-ray. No chips no break but just a lil sprain,” she wrote, later explaining that she is “good” to proceed in the competition.
The couple will perform two dances during Tuesday’s Music Video Night, including a jazz routine to Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.” Xochitl and Val will also join fellow couples Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold, Lele Pons and Brandon Armstrong and Charity Lawson and Artem Chigvintsev for a team dance to “Gangnam Style” by Psy. Check out all the dance styles and song choices HERE. Former American Idol alum Paula Abdul will serve as a guest judge on the panel.
Last week, the 17 year old appeared injured following her contemporary routine to “Game of Survival” by Ruelle. Val and host Alfonso Ribeiro helped her to her feet, while the judges made sure she was OK. Xochitl assured fans that she was doing “great.”
Xochitl powered through the next round of competition, the “Dance Monster-thon” marathon dance. She and Val WON the round, which earned them five extra points. They ended the night with a total of 42 points out of a baseline of 37.
